    Civic 2012 shift knob EX-L

    The knob is relatively easy to replace. You need to pry the silver collar loose to drop it down. Then there are 2 screws on the front side to remove. As for aftermarket, there are not a lot of options. I believe momo makes one and a few others. You would be limited to universal fitment...

    Broken lug/wheel stud replacement

    I torque to 80lbs. I'm betting I damaged the thread along the way. My wheels come on and off a lot and I probably bent a thread when I clumsily put them back on once or twice. That's why I just replace all 5 in the hub when I break one. Come to think of it I snapped one on my 2001 civic too...

    Broken lug/wheel stud replacement

    That's how I do them. I tighten them as far as I can go by hand and give them a final tighten with the torque wrench. Also limits the amount of scuffing to the wheel and lug nuts since I have black ones. I'm not sure how it bound up, all I know is that it did. I knew it was caught and I tried to...

    Thanks webby. That's what I was thinking just figured I'd throw it out there.

    Broken lug/wheel stud replacement

    Thanks @webby. That's makes sense. Would it be worth upgrading them? I don't track my car, I just drive very aggressively.

    stormCIVIC fg3

    I have morimoto HID from The Reteofit Source in my projectors. Great company and customer service. I've had them for over a year with no problems. You can definitely do them yourself, it's all plug and play. The hardest part is the mounting point for the ballast. I also just ordered 9005...

    Broken lug/wheel stud replacement

    So I somehow cross threaded a lug/wheel stud and sheared one in half. I need to replace the stud and I'll replace all 5 since the wheel hub will be disassembled. The question is, OEM or Aftermarket since I'm in there? Also, does anyone know which ones are on/fit a 2012 EX? CHH shows 4...

    PWJDM Gurney Flap

    I would be concerned with the length. I believe the si lid is longer as the spoiler protrudes more. While you may be able to conform to the curve the flap will actually be too long on the ex. Maybe the vendor can provide some dimensions

    2016 Honda Civic Sedan Unveiled In Los Angeles

    I'm very glad I'm not shopping for a new car right now. Very bleh. I'll wait for final judgment until I see it in person but this is nothing exciting.

    PWJDM Gurney Flap

    Oh gotcha I was confused why it was showing the entire trunk lid but said gurney flap.

    PWJDM Gurney Flap

    The lid is the same for all models, the garnish on the lid changes.

    PWJDM Gurney Flap

    This should fit. It is a direct replacement for the top part of the trunk lid. It would replace the area with the emblem and 3rd brake light. You might have to extend your brake light wires as this will protrude further than the ex

    Interior trim removal?

    Curved pieces are always tough. The best bet is to over wrap so it can't shrink

    Interior trim removal?

    I would assume the door panels would be the same. Most cars are designed the same way. Start looking around for screw heads, then start prying slowly around the edges popping the plastic pins. If you feel a lot of resistance just take a closer look before applying more pressure. If you go slow...

    Weird brake pad wear

    I'm no expert but it seems like your caliper is not properly aligned to the rotor. It's odd that this would occur so evenly on both sides of the car. It looks like your actually compressing the rotor at an angle. I would check out the way the caliper is mounted and make sure everything is set...
