Insulated my tailgate lining trim. Made a huge difference since I no longer have rear seats to block noises coming from the tailgate.

Yeah. I plan to go with a 215 size tire next. I like meaty setups, so once i do that id like to see where im at and how many mm outward i can still go. Id like to go a little lower to. Just need to wait to buy tires really.

I really wish someone would trade me a 16" wheel setup for my 17" Volks. Havent had any luck yet though.

New purchase! It's bittersweet. Not wholly expensive, but just not a planned one D;

I would have taken those in a heartbeat but I don't have any 16's haha. Hope you can find someone to trade! I think you'll have a better chance finding more legit 16's in some other place/forum with the 90's Hondas/Acuras.

For those who've installed the JDP spoiler, in his instructions it says to reuse the cushion pads from the oem spoiler..how do you take those off and reuse?


Also do you keep the same clips in place?

heat gun and peel it off. make sure u clean where it goes on the JDP spoiler with alcohol. Mine fell off after a few months from the heat and vibration. no difference though.

speaking of JDP spoilers. started making true plain weave cf skins for my spoiler caps.

Anyone know of a place in SoCal on the cheap to paint and install my rs modulo sport spoiler on my base. I am too scared to drill through the hatch.

Alternatively you could use 3m vhb tape. That stuff is stronger than nails

Got my 09's scratched-up/hazed headlight lens assemblies installed at Tampa Honda this morning. I didn't feel up to the task of doing the bumper cover removal myself, a bit above my skill set. Got them from autolightsbulbs.com for $173/pair, includes all bulbs. Gave them a coat of Klasse polish. I was quoted $215 labor when I booked the appt a few days ago, and was pleasantly surprised when the bill was just $189 with tax! Flawless install, everything lines up perfect. I'll get my New Brights LEDs back in shortly as soon as I can. Halogens just don't cut it anymore.

took apart the front passenger door and managed to get all steps done to the vacuum bag.

Here is the Door fabric insert wet laid and ready to go into the vac.



While I had the door panel off figured I might as well fix my side view mirror controls. The wires had popped out when they got caught by the window.

Anyone know if i can hot glue electrical wires in place?

Just looked that up. I think I will try that. Hopefully that stuff will hold up to heat and 80mph.
