Looks like it came like that from the factory.

Great write up. I think I’ll grab one. Seems to be better than the cheap $150 ones all over eBay, but not as good as the Phoenix brand head units. I can live with that.

I've heard good things about Phoenix, but for the price, this is more than enough for me. $450 vs $230 (if you buy from US seller) and it does everything you need - Carplay, google maps, youtube, sound is good, specs are great, all plug and play, pretty fast etc... Just doesn't feel like Phoenix is that much better tbh... and yes, it is definitely better than those $100-$150 radios

Replaced my DEPO clear side markers, not sure if I like them or not... might go back to DEPOs
DEPO

REPLACEMENT

Replacement look a lot better...i like the extra shape in the molding...did they offer a darker tint version?

Personally i went with these (google image cause i don't have a good shot of them yet) i like them but your's look sick IMO...mine came with stupid bright withe led...i wasnt sure if i liked it or not and put back the stock bulb and this is what i liked best so far...stock honda bulb with these look great IMO:

Thanks man! I appreciate it. I didn't want switchbacks so I custom ordered them, contacted eBay seller so they had to make some adjustments. I kinda liked the color of old Depos, matching headlight lens and body color, these stand out more and most important they are bright!

Added trunk cargo hook for bags, it is not OEM, I got it off eBay for $8, works great, might get another one for another side if needed

Finally replaced OEM mats with Maxliners and added trunk mat, I'm wondering if this is legit maxliner or fake one, trunk mat doesn't have any badges, driver and passenger side mat badges are pilling off... I mean they fit and look great, just curious

Also finally cleaned the dash after installing my new HU, just need to open that part again and redo wiring , photos suck... I'm too lazy to bring my DSLR...

Picked up my DC strut bar, and wow, such a difference compared to Megan racing, steering wheel now feels "heavier" and gives much more feedback, didn't have any issues when installing, now time to get rid of my OEM tires and steelies and get something better
