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

[anntrn93]

2nd attempt at plastic dipping my emblems and badges (1st attempt was when I first got my car in Jan - don't plastic dip things in the winter guys) Came out pretty good this time around!
Oh and i installed a rear bumper protector thingy.

Next up: tint

Ah, you probably got the Canbus kit which is just the ballasts, igniters and bulbs and you plug it all together and hook it up. I did that at first and then when I was getting some paint on my lip, that shop told me to not do that and run the relay so they did it for me.

Plastidip turned out real good (makes me want to do mine), Tint will definitely finish the look. POlished metal was in my top 3 colors, WOP, RallyeRed and Polished metal.

Which rear bumper applique is that?

Today I installed my Pioneer AVH-P8400bh, Kicker 2-way 6.5s in the front doors, kenwood mono amp and kicker 8" compRT compact sub box that I took out of my Fit before trading it in. Metra kit and harnesses/adapters made it a cake walk. Only confusing part was the rear camera since the red/power wire had a label that said "6v camera power" and having to manually program the AWSC-1.

Need to wire up the sub and that'll be it.

Also my Husky liners arrived. They were a little out of wack from shipping. Hopefully the kinks and bends straighten out.

HIDs and Tint soon. Inspired to plastidip my emblems now haha.

Borrowed my nephews NGR BOV and adapter plate to experiment with a test fit into my wife's civic out of curiousity since the bolt spacing with the oem recirc valve seems to be identical with the adapter.. it's a little tight in there but if anyone wants to run a Greddy/NGR BOV (just for sound of course) it will fit in there using a Hyundai Genesis adapter plate . I wouldn't recommend it since our cars are meant to recirc but for those who don't care about running peg rich after every shift, clogging catalytic converters, venting to atmosphere, and just want that signature bov sound it is another option for a bov beside boomba and hks

I touched up the door bolts because this morning i found a bit of rust on a couple of them and I couldn't stand watching that horrible view. I used high temperature silver spray paint, it is the exact same color!

yeah the morimoto kit, and I found a coupon code that works so they are like $135 with the code instead of $150. I understand not wanting to run the relay for the HID kit, plug and play is easier

Feel like sharing that coupon code??

Yes, please share the code

I got it from from here. This one adds a pretty clean look to the back comparing to the OEM clear protector. plus it's cheaper

That is exactly how I feel about the rock chips, like little daggers in my heart lol. How much did you pay to do the whole car?

It wasn't the whole car, just the whole front (full fenders, full hood, front bumper, headlights, mirrors, front part of the roof in front of the sunroof, and the little ledge at the trunk. I got Suntek/Llumar's newer answer to XPEL Ultimate and it was $1350. I have never spent that kind of money on a car (ever), but when I buy a car, I buy it with the intent to drive it until the wheels fall off. I was really nervous to spend this much but I've honestly already felt like it was 100% worth it, and I've only had it for 2 months.

awesome, you just sold me on it. I plan to drive this car for as long as possible so this route is where I'm headed.

Blacked out chrome door trim with Rustoleum rubber peel coat black gloss.

Here are the before and after shots

Should I leave clear side markers or black them out, too?

Should have gotten the smoked markers they would look awesome on that setup.

Maybe i will upgrade or just do a light coat on the clear ones.

The clear look good if you kept the chrome, but if you black out the chrome smoked/darkened would look sharp.

Two best improvements to my blue hatch were leather trim and smoked markers :-D.

I left the chrome accent on the side view mirrors ha!

I've done all the leather I can do on the inside except seats and door trim (too expensive).
