What is Your Favorite Quality of Life Mod and Why?

[JDMFTW]

Check out the thread here: https://www.civicxi.com/forum/threads/rear-vents-usb-port-mod.52341/

I got the parts from mikstore and followed their guide to install. Even with all the dremel work and rework it still only took just over an hour from start to finish.

after installing the rear vents, does it somehow reduce the amount of airflow for the front vents? Any downsides to adding the rear vents?

There's a noticeable reduction in flow, but it isn't anything earth shattering. The rear vents do have the factory flow/shutoff adjustment wheel so when it's just me in the car, I reach back and turn the vents off.

No other issues with adding the vents.

What did adding remote start cost you? I would definitely be interested in this QoL mod.

I think about $600ish for the install, but that was around 2 years ago. Then I paid for the 4 year subscription with tracking and cellular remote.

Brother I said also the rock guards for the fenders I have the Flabfab or something in that neighborhood. Bought them from twostepperformance the shipping was fast and the price I think is fair. Mine is stock just couple accessories nothing fancy nor expensive, oh and the aluminum foot rest from Ali express to protect the carpet on the dead pedal and the seat belt holder so the seat doesn’t get messed up with the seat belt.

Can you post links..?

For me...wooden shift knob. Not hot. Not cold.

Agree!

But also the Hybrid Racing Short Shifter and bushings for the perfect shifting experience.

As far as the shift knob, I tried about half dozen (thanks to Amazon liberal return policy) nonmetallic knobs did not like any of them.

Ended up with the Mishimoto Round Steel Core Wood Shift Knob, Walnut Wood.

The Mishimoto initially it felt huge in my hand, and I almost took it out, but after a week or so it felt (and still feels) perfect and natural, though I wish it was heavier.

While at it:

Acura Integra Type S (DE5) Adaptive Dampening System (ADS) Module

Rear Vents, the extra USB-C plugs and quick cooling is the best. I'll add in the worst- AWE Touring Exhaust.
