i need some opinions and thoughts on what i can or should get to make my honda civics interior look nicer, sportier. i'm already gonna get a real leather shifter for it this friday for the manual stick shift,and possibly the wood dash kit, what else should i get?

 

"bump"

 

a new head liner made a huge diffrence in my car incase yours in dirty. I did it myself for like 30.00(headliner material and spray adhesive)

 

When you post these types of things, be sure to include details on your car. Year, trim, body style (coupe sedan etc), current mods (if applicable). You may have stated it in a previous thread, but we are not going to remember, nor will we take the time to find it.

My suggestion would be to google civic (whatever year or generation you have) interior. Everything imaginable has already been done, so find what you like. IMO, a lather shifter is just okay, but a good start. I like the Skunk2 titanium shift ****. Wood paneling would look terrible IMO. If you have an EK (96-00), you could look to pick up a SI cluster which looks nicer. If you have a 99-00, I would get a double DIN headunit which comes with a navigation pre-installed. Here is a picture of my 99.



I like the wink (5 panel mirror) as well, some do, some don't. Personally, I like NOT having blind spots Also, I re-wrapped the headliner with a dark gray fabric in addition to the door cards and center console. Lastly, I painted the pillars a dark gray color to match. I was not a fan of the tan-ish color which comes with stock.

You could also get the leather wrapped SI steering wheel, or a S2000 steering wheel. As you can tell I am into the "upgraded" OEM type look. Interior should be clean, and very subtle. You can easily go overboard quickly when working with interior "decorating".

 

this is all i know for specs, 1998 honda civic DX 4 door sedan with 5 speed stick shift. no mods at the moment

 

Try a Sickspeed shift ****. I have one on my 2003 honda SI Hatchback. It looks and feels wonderful. It is designed for Honda cars.

 

the sickspeed dosnt have the style i want, but if i ever want another shifter after my leather one i will keep them in mind

 

like your stereo cluster. I re did my headliner but I used factory gray because I did not know how to properly get paint to stick to the plastic in my car. With a 5 year old you can guess how my headliner looks like now. How is the paint on the pillars holding up. I want to make it all dark charcoal. Does the trim piece around the sunroof come in dark charcoal?

 

also cvcrc99 where did you get your dark sunroof trim piece?
