collecting all the exterior mods and installing them at once, but for now:





JDM Hazard FTW! my car:

 

baller status there :P
jdm hazards/just re dones just look nicer/cleaner for some reason.
high five.

 

Very nice Baked Cookies! How difficult was the install?

 

removing the head unit is a PITA, it has 13 clips securing it. But once i found the right angle to pry in the slot it came out easy.

I was about to give up though at one point

 

You thinking about getting a new head unit? I don't like to do things twice lol so I'm waiting til I can get the GPS unit. Just like no swaybar til I am ready to install the springs. Either way, it looks nice dude :P

 

Definitely something I want to do as well.

 

nope I love the functionality of the factory head unit, may add a small 4 channel later and nicer speakers. Components up front and coax in rear doors.

 

The red JDM hazzard button looks complete!
Nice!!!

 

im not sure about the GE8, but on my gd3, it was easier to take out the gauge cluster and get to the hazard switch rather than take out the entire head unit.

 

On the GE8 the hazard switch is on the head unit.

 

that doesnt mean you have to take out the entire headunit to get to the switch.

 

Also btw, to remove the headunit you only have to do two steps, unlike what college hills shows for installing the USB hookup.

1. Remove panel directly below the fresh air/recirc lever, then look up in hole, you will see a circle cutout in the assembly and a screw in there, remove with philips screwdriver.

2. Open top glove box and using a thin flatblade screwdriver (I taped mine with painters tape and the area i was working in) insert it in the slot that's located in the upper right hand side of the head unit assembly. I had to push it in fairly far and then pry up and outward. Eventually a few clips will pop free where you can get your hand behind it and remove the headunit.

You can then unhook the connector to the hazard switch and remove the 2 philips screws securing it, you do not need to unhook any of the headunit wiring. There is plenty of room to work. Install new switch and test, reverse removal steps and you're done.

*Note: the face of the top HVAC vents will come out with the headunit.

 

good info man, I'm wanting to get back there to replace some of the stock lighting with leds.

 

Nice touch there Bro... !!

 

Thanks man, just trying to help people out.

Thanks, got to decide on springs now, Tanabe, RSR, Eibach. Not real sure yet, I want it to be low, but not dumped and definitely use a spring that improves handling not just makes the car look good.

 

Any one of those 3 would be great!!

RS*R Superdown coils
Tanabe DF210 coils
Eibach Sportlines ( have yet to see these... but they will more than likely be in the weeds )

 

I don't want to be in the weeds, LOL. I would like the wheel wells to be right at the top of the tire or 1 finger gap.

I've got an idea up my sleeve I dont think anyone else will do, just trying to get all the parts together.

 

Sweet! Pretty tough first mod to tackle.

 

I need to know how to get that audio panel off because I am going to mount (drill) my instrument panel hood for Ram Mounts (GPS and Serius) and wire routing. And your directions above will help!
Not to worry, a replacement inst panel hood is $44 at Bernardi for when I eventually sell the car.

BTW switch looks good. I mean all Emergency flashers should be red!

 

whats the passenger airbag off button for, thats not on the jdm we get, is it for passenger ya dont like?
