things to consider on my ordered honda?

Kerry · 6th November 2006, 22:13

Hi I'm Kerry
Hello to you all. I've recently ordered a new 2.2D EX honda in Black.Delivery is to be March 2007 because of order time involved, can't wait. I would like to pick your experienced brains about a few things.
1. Is it worth having this guard x covering done.how does it help,can you wax the car in the future, does it give it a better shine

2. Is it worth adding the parking sensors

3. If there is anyone out there with ablack civic have you had the windows tinted and was it worth it

Thank you all for listening to me, with my questions. I would be greatful for any advice given.
Regards
Kerry

thank you!! best thing to do kerry is to go back to the dealer and take another test drive but spend alot of the time revering/parking etc to see if you think you need them.

driving one with no sensors was a REAL pain for me having got them in mine!

Hi kerry, welcome aboard

guard-x / supaguard - personally I wouldn't bother - but if you do a search for 'guard' you will find the various threads about the pros and cons

parking sensors - go with Andrea's suggestion, and try parking without. Again, personally, I've gone for reverse camera - but I'm just a tech gadget freak

NHB Civic - check
darkened windows - nope

But Danko has - check out the Gallery section - Gangsta Civic thread from memory

Enjoy!

Thank you everyone for your help with my questions. I am envious of you all with your Civics already in your possession. I hope one day soon to own a Honda Civic and join you on the open roads.Can't wait for the delivery!!!
Kind Regards
Kerry
