I am trying to re-size my pictures and ended up deleting them from my other post, I believe! Sorry for any confusion.

Purchased my Civic on 11/7/2012 Honda Cars of Rock Hill, SC

1st picture - I call her Esmeralda



Debadged the Civic emblem and Dealer sticker



Emblem and Dealer sticker < -- GONE!




First mod was to change out Wheel and Tires

I opted for 16 inch Tires and Wheels ( Wheels < -- MB Seven X's and Tires 205 50 R16 / Yokohama YK580 )





Next mod was to swap out the stock Civic stereo with the Pioneer AVIC 130BT Navi DVD Unit

While I was at it, I added a Bumper Grille Wire Mesh to stop any stones, rocks etc. I came up with this idea from my 2009 Honda Accord LX-P until I got billet style grilles.

Next up was the changing out of the cloth seats to leather interior

Front seats







Rear seats





Recently I've added a C F wrap on the lower portion of the rear bumper cover and exhaust tip



It's growing on me, but I am leaning at swapping out the rear bumper cover from my LX with that of a SI.



Also added Nokya Arctic White headlamp bulbs 9600 7K




Here she is in all her glory, basking in the Carolina Sunshine

Been a few months since posting any mods that I have done to my Civic! Also I moved from Charlotte, NC to Midland, TX and after a month along with finding out that not many IT jobs out in Midland, TX - all oil field jobs. I moved up to the Dallas, TX area, city or suburb called Carrollton, TX.

the biggest change that I did to my car is change out the rear bumper cover from my LX to a SI..

I've got a 2012 Sedan Civic LX and I have swapped out my rear LX bumper cover for the 2012 Sedan Civic SI rear bumper covers. See pictures below.

I'm surprised I haven't seen this thread until now, I remember your car from 9thgen tho.
That rear bumper makes a big difference, keep it up!

Probably because I have not updated my build or logged into the site since March! I'm more active on the other 9th Gen site under the build section and my screen name is Dutsguru.
