02/14/2015 - Purchased Car, Installed Mew Plushy
After talking to the online sales manager at a local dealership, I spent the Saturday test driving , signing papers, and increasing my debt. I was desperately in need of a car for work and being someone who can't settle for a used Civic, I went and bought the car I had been eyeing for 2 years and have no regrets. Drove the car home that night and made my first modification. A Mew plushy from the Yokohama Pokemon Center that I keep on my rear view mirror. I also decided to name the car Mew.

03/12/2015 - Xpel Ultimate PPF, Suntek Carbon Tint
Took the car to Imperial Works which is owned by a friend of a friend to get the clear bra and tint installed. Ended up getting the whole front end with full hood, side mirrors, and door cups protected. For the tint I went with 5% on the rear 3 and 35% on the front 2. The work came out great so I highly recommend these guys if you're in the area and market for PPF or tint.

04/09/2015 - LED Bulb Install
The LEDs that I ordered a while back finally arrived a couple days ago and today I had some free time to put them in. I used the site from this thread http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22423 and ended up getting the dome light, door lights, trunk light, license plate lights, and reverse lights. So far they look great in the light. Now I just have to wait for it to get dark outside. It's a much better look with the cool white as opposed to the incandescent glow of the OEM bulbs. I ended up having an extra pair since I ordered extra to qualify for the bulk shipping rate and I'll probably pop them into the side markers this weekend. Somewhere down the line I'll be going for LED turn signals and foglight. I'll be sure to update this page in the even any of the bulbs decide to fail. Not bad for $26 though.

04/29/2015 - Rear Camera Install
I finally got around to installing my rear camera. Thanks to @RickyBobby for selling me his SVXDC 16-pin harness. The camera I'm using was purchased on Amazon. It looks to be a Rydeen Duo clone. [ame="http://www.amazon.com/COOLINT-Housing-Parking-Multifunction-Switchers/dp/B00W35AZ7I/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1430532189&sr=8-3&keywords=coolint"]Here.[/ame] The build quality is fairly good. The housing itself is made of metal and the internal camera uses a CMOS sensor. I liked that there were different colors to choose from. Unfortunately I had to return the white camera and get a matte black one because the white was more Pure White than CWP and stuck out. Before starting I did a bit of research on how other members approached the mounting of the camera. I almost resorted to drilling into the rear cowl, but since I don't own a power drill, I ended up looking into different methods which is what I ultimately did. Once I make a DIY on my method, I'll link to it from here.
A few things I might go back and change: -Adjusting the angle of the camera because all I see is my bumper and the ground and nothing behind me. The camera sees back at least a yard so it's useful for not backing up into parking cement blocks or sidewalks, but at the same time i get paranoid because I can't see if anything is coming up from behind me. -Applying some glue with a glue gun to seal any possible locations for water to enter the camera. -Using a longer screw eye so that I could punch it through the entire plastic bracket and have more leverage to hold the camera on.
