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

[dstix747]

Installed Suma Performance tail lights

The video makes it look like the main lights flicker all the time. Is that how they are?

Gave the windshield a thorough cleaning. I had to replace the factory wipers finally. They were streaking bad. I went with PIAA Super Silicone wipers. Before putting them on, I took a clay bar to the windshield to get it super smooth. Letting the PIAA window prep dry now, then gotta wipe it off and actually install the wipers.

Been pretty rainy here lately, so it shouldn't be long until I can see how the wipers perform. Hoping the combination of new wipers and a super smooth windshield make for a streak-free, squeak-free experience.

Finally got around to taking some pictures after new brake setup.
(HFP Cross Drilled Rotors + Endless Super Street M-Sport Pads)
This concludes my build. Saving up for the new BRZ/GR86

Installed this little carbon fiber wrap piece and carbon fiber door wraps today. Tried to make a clean cut for the front door speakers so they won't get blocked and muffled but failed...

Nope just normal in person, thats just how LED usually on videos. You have to have the right setting to capture it right.

LED bulbs are turning on and off, the flickering on video becomes more pronounced and obvious because the camera’s recording frames per second is unaligned with the frequency of electricity. This is called the ‘strobe effect’.

Our human eye cannot see the flickering of LEDs occur in front of us as it is just too fast.

Completed a full leather steering wheel wrap. I wasn't satisfied with the stock leather steering wheel so I sourced a nice perforated leather wrap with red stitching and TDC stripe. The hardest part was tucking the leather edges under all of the plastic panels around the wheel spokes.

4hrs of tedious stitching and finessing, I think it turned out pretty well! I love the sporty look and feel of the leather. This kit came from China; I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the leather (smells so good ?). Included all tools/materials/instructions required. Cost was $80 plus my 4hrs of installation. Not for the faint of heart, but well worth the effort.

Link below if anyone wants to do this mod. The supplier offered to substitute the leather with suede, PU, different thread & leather colours, etc. You can get it made to your desired specs.
