I installed a new front & rear dashcam (VIOFO A129 Plus Duo) and mounted my R3 to the rearview mirror. Hardwired both. I've never hardwired anything before, but it was a pretty fun experience getting to see inside the trim pieces!

Hardwired is always best! Congrats, good job.

Activate the rear fog/rain function for the taillights.

REAR FOG LIGHT?!
What rear fog light?!
[...Googles Civic Rear Fog Light]
[...Reviews a dozen forum posts and as many images]
[...Goes out to his own car, checks rear light configuration]
[...realizes this is a UK or aftermarket tail light thing]

[...starts musing about how to do it in his 10th Gen HB]

Cool, nice job!
:D

I removed the dealer ad plate. I let the hatch sit in the sun to heat it up well. Gently pulled it off and used a plastic scraper to help. Then used Goo Be Gone to get the rest. I’m thinking about removing the CIVIC letters to make the rear symmetrical. Should I?

As someone who has had those JL speakers, i can attest that even though they do sound great, they are a bit too controlled on the treble end. (See my setup for my first gen 10 hatchback in showcase).

I went with Alpines on my 2nd hatch (see my setup for second build in showcase) because I would rather have to supress the tweeter with eq than not be able to push through the mid.

The amps and subs in both systems were JL.
Thanks for the reply! I spoke to Crutchfield about different speakers, including the Alpine, and the guy said if I am not upgrading to an amp, I'd be better off with the C1-650 using factory head unit power. I think the C1's have aluminum tweeter, which can sound harsh.
