What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

[RallyeeRedAZ]

In Arizona I'm sure there are a lot more tint shops than there are in less sunny locales. so pricing would tend to be more competitive. But even with that being said, can you really get top tier manufacturer ceramic tint for $150 or less?

Yeah if you know the right people, the cost of tint is so cheap and tinter's mark it up stupid amounts to make a lot of money off people. I've got semi ceramic tint for $100 on a sedan and ceramic tint for $150 on a sedan. The cost to tint a full car is about $50 to $80 and places are charging $200, $300, even $400 that's just stupid. I've even seen dealerships charging $700 - $800 for a tint package talk about rip off.

Did a test fit on the Morimoto HID kit and the wires didn't reach where I needed them to under the hood so it's time to take the bumper off and hide most of it where it will fit better and be out of the way. Also need to adjust my right side fog and put some zip ties in the top clips of the new grille at the same time, so 3 birds with one stone.

Washed my touring with Optimum no rinse wash and shine. So much quicker for me than the two bucket way

I put them on mine within a week of purchasing my Si. Personally think they should have come standard on the car, but then there are a lot of ppl who don't like them. To each their own. Looks good!

Does anybody know if the type r hood fits the si? Or if there's a similar one. I have a 17 Civic si sedan.

So... attempted to install that honeycomb grill you see on ebay, failed, clips across the top don't line up. PS, lots of things to take apart if you plan to.

But since the bumper was off, we took the time to install a new horn inline with the factory baby horn http://amzn.to/2xKkIZP

I also received my OPT7 fluxbeam x low beams and have to say... not much better than me Auxbeam LEDs

OPT7 fluxbeam x 110$





Auxbeam 30$



In addition to being roughly the same but with a 70 price difference, the auxbeam has a subtle blue hue unlike the opt7. I've tried numerous brands on amazon including zdatt, yitamotor, autofeel, yumseen, all crap compared to either of these two.

how did you find the auxbeams in the rain? i bought sylvania halogens but they honestly still seem so dim to me during the night.. and when it rains its barely noticeable that my lights are on.. curious how LED's are cause at 30USD(would be more here in Canada) cant really go wrong. but hearing how they arent good in rain and snow makes me stay away, since we get lots of snow up here lol

Yes, I already knew that when I started seeing pics and did some research. Don't know why the US didn't follow suit.

they do ok, like any other led they aren't perfect, if you have it like up there id just get some 55w HIDs for a real sharp look. I've had kensuns off amazon before and their customer service is outstanding. I just dont want to deal with warm up on HIDs so im fighting the urge to switch http://amzn.to/2ysJPDM

Replaced the Morimoto 2 stroke LEDs with the Morimoto 35w HIDs. PITA to get the wiring set up the way I wanted but I got it all set out finally. Here's comparison.

You can see that the LEDs are brighter up close but fall off quickly. The HIDs have better throw and consistency.

This is why I'm thinking about switching, I just hate warm up
