Visors are Mugen rep. Front lip is Ikon V3. Both came from eBay.
Haha! That was my first thought, also.Thanks for the nice write up but you may want to consider a little spring cleaning. Holy crap!
Wrapping the trim in painters tape first, that’s it interesting idea. I wonder what the probability is of the adhesive on the tape waining overtime.
How do you like the insight? I couldn’t stand the fake engine noise. And it’s strange even though it’s been out awhile, I have yet to see an insight in the wild.Added another Honda to the family. Picked up a '19 Insight EX for the wife (replaced her '04 Corolla S).
You have to remove the whole panel. The little garnish/accent whatever you want to call it piece is held in with 3 or 4 screws. A good portion of the dash needs to come apart to get all those trim bits out too.
Very clean! Did you get droning at 2-3k? Nice color btw! The red is growing on me lolInstalled my GReddy exhaust today. All I gotta say is the sound is precisely what I was looking for. Nothing over the top but definitely a nice upgrade over the stock exhaust.
I was one of the early adopters of the Lloyd Ultimats and I can tell you mine look brand new after two years. No worries about a hole in those mats.I’m a daily commuter so I burned a hole through my OEM driver floormat in 20k miles. I ended up grabbing a set of the Lloyd Ultimat in Ebony. They are a great match to the OEM carpet, are much softer, and feel great since I’m a barefoot driver. If I burn a hole through these, I’m going to try their Luxe mats since they have a lifetime warranty!
I notice slight droning at 2.5K RPM while freeway driving. I have a pretty decent audio system installed already however so I’m usually blasting music whenever I drive regardless. My music covers any sort of drone that I’ve come across so far. Thank you for the compliment
Cool! Did you experience any power loss on the lower end ?I notice slight droning at 2.5K RPM while freeway driving.

Now that you mention it, I have noticed a slight difference. I am running a stage 2 tune currently and for my style of driving at least I don't really expect that I will run into any problems.
It handles well (I guess that's to be expected given it rides on the Civic platform). I also am not a fan of the fake engine noise. We had to drive it back 100+ miles to get it home so I got a good amount of seat time already. I think it's fine for what it is. Definitely a big difference from my EXT 6MT. I like the entertainment screen and interface better than my Civic. It's also extremely quiet (aside from the fake engine noise). The wife wanted a hybrid and out of the ones out there this was probably the best option for what she wanted. I see the Insight every few weeks in the wild here in NorCal.
