Honda Civic Accessories

[jujubee13]

HOping maybe some of you could help me. I am looking into buying some accessories and such for my boyfriend's 1996 Honda Civic Ex for our anniversary and I don't know what would be something that would be good. He doesn't really have much on it right now except for a stereo system. I was thinking of headlight bulbs (he really wants HID-looking bulbs that look blue) but I have no idea!!!! please advice!!!!

What a cool girlfriend wanting to get him stuff that he might want, rather than someone you want him to have.... ;P

What's your budget?

How about a 99-00 13mm rear sway bar. ($60 used, $160 at hondaautomotiveparts.com, $250 at the dealer). Makes the ride handle so much better.

Or: OEM style fog lights

AEM V1 CAI.. or a K&N drop in replacement if you don't want to bother with the intake replacement.

HID conversions are expensive.

Better quality speakers and/or amp.

Wheelskins leather steering wheel cover.

New rims..could be a bit costy, but he'll love you for it.

 

[chimchim]

Yeah... rims... the best... but it's costly.

 

[edhgreatone]

don't get rims... get OEM fog lights that would be a great gift or you could get him tint on his car or just get him new bulbs for his headlights or get him a spoiler if he doesn't have one

silvania silverstars...there's a coupon for it from pepboys in here somewhere.

or you could buy him a lip kit that is what my gf bought me for x-mass

What a great girl we got here

All my woman does is complain about me spending $ on my civic and not buying her ring!

To answer your questions though...as far as honda accessories...hmmm maybe a nice shift knob with a short shifter(not a cheap one)...I'll agree with an upgrade on stereo system(a simple gift certificate somewhere would be great)...

It all depends on what your willing to spend!? I'm guessing your thinking less than $100?

Good luck! I wish more gf's were like you

 

[jujubee13]

Thanks for the compliments!! I am looking to spend less than $100, but it depends... I mean, if its something thats a "Must have" then i might change my mind. Guys are so hard to buy for!!!! With girls, its jewelry or roses, which is simple... don't have to worry about this car stuff!

 

[matts2ksi]

Yes we are!!

Just a little advise, if you plan on spending a little more, you might want to think about either asking him what he would like, or just getting a gift certificate...this is just in case you decide to get something that he might not like, but I guess that is why you posted

good luck!!

forget the car stuff go buy your self some lingerie and put that s**t on for him i think he will enjoy that more.

s**t for under $100, i'd love for my girl to buy me a momo shadow shift knob

 

[lasherman6]

ahhah my girl's workin on gettin me stuff for my bday (march 6th) lolol.. mm lucky i amm.. i can see her gettin me some silverstars.. or a shift rod/knob kit.. gift certificate to best buy (where i work) or somethin like that so i imagine somethin like that could work for him.. lol im geared towards a cat-back exhaust.. oem fogs.. and an intake but those r all high-dollar items.. very smart doing ur research! good luck.. im sure he'll love it


ooo and i just noticed he wants h.i.d lookin headlights... whateva u do dont get apc from autozone or pep boys! they're rated to burn out quick.. eurolites (find in circuit city maybe or i have a shop in fl called autotronics that has good stuff) do ok if u want but those sylvania silverstars are really nice.. mmm silverstars

 

[x007den]

sounds like he might like some hyper white headlights bulbs, its relatively inexpensive and it will give his headlights a much clearer look.

 

[jujubee13]

How are the hyper white headlight bulbs in comparison to the sylvania silverstars? I got him those for Christimas... also interested in the shift knob thing... I think I've heard him meantion it....

 

[jujubee13]

shift knobs

I'm looking at Advance Auto Parts... there are way too many shift knobs to look at... can anyone tell me which ones are good? Give me some choices? Thanks!!!

 

[2kstreetcivic]

okay, first off which hyper white bulbs?..PIAA or what?..there are alot of different hyper white bulbs...as for the Sliverstars, if you as me, they are the BEST you can buy for the money....

As for the shift knobs, I would recommend not buying them at your local autoparts store...I would get him a momo, skunk2, CTR, or a shift knob like that...Name brand, no auto parts store crap, it will be better...hope that helps

 

[anfrey]

i want a momo shadow... real bad...

 

[jujubee13]

what do ya'll think of the momo phantom? it looks good to me, but thats only 'cause i think its cute
