Hey everyone. I updated the original post with a copy of the document I used to create the guide. If anyone wants to update it, please do. NOTE: The uploaded document says it's a PDF, but actually it's a renamed Microsoft Excel 2013 (.xlsx) file. Just download it and rename it with a .xlsx...

Come September, I have to start paying $100 a month just to park her in my garage. Putting aside the fact that I still can't keep the battery charged long enough to not have to jump it every single time I want to go somewhere, I feel like I'm either trying to maintain a museum piece or just...

If you mean non-US OEM accessories, I haven't. There's a lot I haven't done to this car, one of which is obviously driving it. Honestly, I'm probably going to part ways with her. Three months after replacing the battery, I'm now having to jump it again everywhere I go. I just don't drive her...

I think I hit 700 miles last week. Not sure though.

The center LED was removed starting with the 2013's and that continues with the 2015 models as well. As webby mentioned earlier, check out the 2012 DIY as it details a lot of comments regarding the lighting. I'd be curious to know if Honda finally switched the red LED's lenses to clear instead...

Driver’s and Front Passenger’s Doors Do Not Unlock in Freezing Weather AFFECTED VEHICLES 2012 Civic 4-Door SYMPTOM In freezing weather, the driver’s and front passenger’s doors don’t unlock with the remote or the key. CORRECTIVE ACTION Dry and lubricate the lock cable.

Well I can attest to the fact that the OEM visors don't look like **** after two years, although I did notice the plastic clips, which hold them in place to the metal clips that are fitted between the weather-stripping, do weather much faster and start to discolor if your car isn't garaged...

I had a clear-bra on my last Civic, thanks to @webby of course. It covered the front bumper, hood, A-pillars, door handles, etc. Obviously that doesn't cover the entire car, so for that I suggest a clear coat sealant. There are many options in this realm and I had chosen CQuartz Finest, which...

I purchased my car with nav built-in. I did try out the nav app on an iPhone using a different car that didn't have nav. It's definitely a tad slower than the built-in version, and like Todai said, you have to purchase the $99 cable to use it. If money isn't a factor, I recommend buying the...

Well the creaks have slowly progressed from annoyance to "seriously wtf". Without having taken apart the seats, I'd swear there's some plastic bar inside the seat that is loose. Off to the dealership I go. Eventually.

I'm going to use this to go back in time and use more Rogaine.

You don't give yourself enough credit. It's quite easy to do, especially with a write-up that trumps what Honda offers. The standard installation time is 0.6 hours, so it just depends on how much that dealership charges per hour. They also tend to charge you full retail price on the...

Well God DAMN IT

Good info. I chose "creak" over "squeak" because it's not high-pitched at all. It's a similar sound to plastic rubbing on plastic. Good chance there's little difference in the manufacturing between 2012 and 2014, so I guess it's the luck of the draw. Personally, I'd like to fix it myself...
