Hey.. how'd you get the Honda emblem off the back?
I tried to get to the back of mine about 3 times and finally gave up..

Not easily and definitely not gracefully. There are 2 clips on it that hold it onto the car; both of these clips broke when I took the emblem off. The two clips aren't necessary, not sure why they were even used.

First I used floss to break the 3m tape that holds it on, then I used nylon prybars that I had laying around. Similar to these:

To put it back on I then used outdoor rated 3M tape, cut into small slivers, to hold the logo back on. It's the same tape that holds the 'civic' logo on so it will hold the H just fine.

My end-goal is to get the JDM logo so the painted black logo is short-term.

Just purchased: http://www.ebay.com/itm/172310375552

One for front (saving until black grille to replace chrome), one for the back and one for the steering wheel.

hows the bulb brightness/visibility with the tinted reverse/turn signals? thinking about doing the same to mine

 

[itsbeckerz]

I went full on with nightshades instead of using a film and I went a bit dark. I could have been about 1 or 2 coats lighter and been 'better off' BUT the brightness is fine in my opinion. I had my overly cautious fiance check it out to make sure she thought it was OK. I'll try and grab a picture when I leave work in 30 minutes.

It's hard to get a good picture, and at night they are much more visible than during the day.

Can you post a video with audio of what the intake sounds like?

Good thread

Just purchased the Boomba Racing BOV and the Honda OEM black grill assembly.

(Not my car, but red so it gives a good indication what it will look like)

Will be installing the BOV today and the grill will be here in a few days.

Install the Boomba BOV, took about 20 minutes or so. Hardest part was getting the bolts down into the spot without dropping. Had to use some ingenuity but it was pretty simple.

The black grille arrived, as well.

Installed the hatchback grille!

Remove the bumber

Remove the chrome

Add the black

Reinstall!!!!

Definitely liking the black on red look. The grille looks amazing.

Where did you get your stealth lights for the turn signals?

Where did you get your stealth lights for the turn signals?

I bought them for my last car and moved them over. My guess is www.stealthbulbs.com or https://stealthauto.com/Accessories...nal-Lights/Invisible-Amber-Turn-Signal-Bulbs/

And thanks, the black really pops. With tinted windows (next week) and reduced chrome it's starting to look a lot better in my opinion!
