Your Mods To 2006-2011 FD Civics

I have been waiting to register for this forum for the past 2 weeks, and alas, finally allowed to post.

This is the 06' Civic we bought recently from a dealer, came with a few mods already
- Reverse Sensor
- Leather trim,
- Starcorp Racing 18" rims with 225/40/18 Nankang tyres.

My questions to all esepcially JaCe and Dmx as you two have done some nice mods is

Music
Jace - what's the OEM HU's like hook up to aftermarket amplifiers and speakers. Is it worth it? :idea:

I am looking to install an amp and 2 new set of speakers, looking at these for front speakers

and either one of these as the amp

Where did you get your stuff installed? I was quoted something like $350 for just those at Lifestyle!

Lights
I bought some DiamondVisions from ebay, but i've read that they get really hot and not good, should i swap them for HIDs?

Tinting
What's a good % for a silver Civic? I want 20-25% but i don't know what that's like sitting inside, and or what type of color? Dark blue or Blackish?

Thanks guys

ill help you out with lights as im not so experienced in other areas you need so..

DiamondVisions - yes people have complained the philips bulbs do overheat and get way too hot for the glass casing (technical material escapes me). You dont necessarily need to go for a HID conversion kit, theres a trader here (LiquidSound), they sell MTEC halogen bulbs for a really good price and their great quality. heres a link:

hope that helped a bit.

as promised, some photos - however they're taken from Carsales as i am a bit lazy taking new ones, they look better than my photography skills anyway.

those mtec bulbs are pooh crap. I've got a set. Not even as bright as stock. Imo.
