My 09 GE Taffy is all nice and shiny again

See this would look awesome if you had black grill, roof, and JDM Emblems but im all about making my Honda's look as JDM as they can w/o doing drastic changes like changing bumpers etc. And all that chrome you added isn't my thing too. I makes the car like it has very separate windows vs making the car look like there is one window. Here's mine. I'm glad you want to be "different" but sometimes things can come off to be too too different. That said, keep doing you... :-)

Thanks for comments but i prefer the chrome on the pillars. No I don't want black roof or JDM emblems. Quite happy with what I have
Thanks for removing your pics which are cluttering my page.

Taffy turns 7 today. Still pristine. No dents at all. Speedo is in KMs eh.
Going to keep her for another year at least. Have not seen anything out there to replace her with.

Touched up minor scrapes on lip. Maybe have it repainted next year.
Geez after 7 + yrs realized how center rear seat belt works. Have never used it. The buckle on the passenger side belt had slipped under the seat so could not fasten it to the center buckle.

Not much happening with Taffy. Gas and drive.
Did find these on Kijji. Will pick up on Sunday. Only $150. Old Civic SI circa 1999-2000 rims with center caps. Going to put the snows on these and get rid of my steelies. I should also get rid of my stock sport rims and tires.

Pics from yesterday - I gave the lip a few more sprays of TW. I got the can at local auto supply place - Canadian Tire aka Crappy Tire. It was $15 with taxes etc but a large one. I am going to do my winter wheels with them.
Emblem. I hand painted with small modeling brush. I used the paint that I used on my drums and calipers. Seems to be sticking ok. I had first cleaned with alcohol. Give it a try using small bottles of hobby paint. Keep a rag with alcohol handy to wipe up a little boo boos.
KC - Seat covers - get them. They are great and make interior look real expensive along with the faux wood trim.
Visors came. They are after market ones. Not sure if I like them with my stainless. They would have looked better had they met in the middle. Hmm maybe just black vinyl tape would work?
I have mirror covers with winkers coming. Should be fun wiring them. Also Centre caps for my winter wheels from an old Civic
The touched up lip
The visors

Well darn. My Accord horn ingested some bad water a couple weeks ago and is intermittent now. I put my Meep Meep back on for now and have left the Accord out to dry and see if it comes back to life.
I ran through one huge mother of a flood on a hwy before I could slow down. The bow waves were above the fenders. Glad it is only the horn.

Did the 51R battery upgrade this week. Put in a Honda brand.
Awaiting replacement Accord horn. When doing that will refinish grill bar as the plast-t-dip is getting worn.

nice on the battery swap. no problem!
im pretty sure the accord horn sounds better then the hella anyway. hella supertones have its own distinct sound and there is a love/hate.

Unbelievable how poor the original horn is. I blew it the other day with radio on not too loud and could barely hear it.

Yesterday I replaced my horn with a Chinese Accord one. My first Accord horn got thirsty and swallow some water.
While in there I took my Sport grill off and gave the bar a respray of white PlatisDip. As well no longer have the LEDs. I kept burning them out and gave up replacing them.

Thanks Ottawa. At sometime may replace the LEDs. Need to relocate plate as well.
