On a white LX, Things I'm considering:
Go one size up on the tires and go to low rolling resistance.
Full Lakester hubcaps on the steel wheels, painted to match the body.
Make reflective white and red inserts for the fake "lambo ducts" front and rear. If I have to have them at least they can be useful.
Light-colored fabric "sheepskin" covers for the front seats.
Light (California legal) tint on the front windows, dark in the rear
The moons and lakester disks can be very cool. I have a set of Lakester disks on my White Scion painted to match the car and have had quite a few people ask me where I got those cool wheels. Not bad for $60 a set hubcaps on steel wheels! Oh, and with going from 185/60 to 195/65 tires I've scuffed curbs without even getting close to the wheels and caps!
I've never tried the add-on whitewalls, but others have said that they are a pain to keep centered if the car is driven much. They are more for show cars.
The rat fink license plate studs might cause you some problem at Customs. They generally don't approve of vermin!

I bet over the life of the car, they would lead to less gas consumption. Race cars have used them to cut resistance.

Damn, have to have a link for pics...
Well I got blue LEDs installed in the dome and map lights (it looks pretty good at a fraction of the cost of the "ambient light"). White waffle LED in the trunk. Also got the shift boot cover and knob installed. Used blue plumber's stretch tape to cover the gap between the boot and the knob. Looks pretty sick!
When the weather gets better (it's currently about 30), I plan on PlatiDiping the front grill and the rear chrome trim. Anyone have any advice on using it as a cheap sill protector?

I'm getting them for the rear. I have weathertech in the front, but they don't make them for the rear. At least they didn't when I got the front ones.

Nice. I'm torn between the OEM all weather or these. I like the look of the OEM better but the Huskys seem like they offer more protection.

You need something that has little sidewalls to keep the dirt on the mat. I don't know what the Honda mats look like, but WeatherTech has those raised sides.

Stupid Husky! You have to buy front and rear mats. I have mats in the front, so I'll wait for WeatherTech to make mats for the rear. I'm not going to spend $145 for rear mats.

Husky Mats ordered off Amazon for $139.95, 2 day shipping. Too bad I didn't order these a day or two ago since we're supposed to get dumped on with snow tomorrow here in the Boston area.

Nice. Weathertechs have rears available now, I opted to go with Huskys as a competitor of WT. I have WT's in my tacoma and they, imo, aren't worth the extra $50-80 over the huskys.

Wheel Lock Nut compatibility
Can wheel lock nuts that I bought and never used on my 2008 Fit Sport now be used on my 2015 Fit EX? I would not like to screw up threads by experimenting. Thanks.

If you can screw one on easily by hand, and there isn't a lot of slack in the threads, you should be fine. I'll see if I can find the specs for each.
