Hood struts came in from Redline Tuning.

Nice kit. Easy instructions.

Find the bolt marked in the instructions. I have the fender/well covers so I used a cone tip to make it accessible.

Mount the mount point to the hood itself. On the passenger side the mount point was occupied by the window washer tube. I pulled that out and slid the plastic bracket up a bit and was luck to have a spot it fit. Time will tell if it falls out, I'll keep my eyes on it.

Once all mount points were installed just attach the hood strut to the mounting points with the larger chamber on the hood itself. Repeat for the other side.

That's it.

Looks great, these are the ones I have my eye on as they seem much better than the cheaper Ebay ones.

Yeah. I mean it's my midlife, but this is fitment. These definitely seem worth it.

Not today, but installed my honeycomb grille and tinted my factory side markers this week. On my winter wheels right now, but looking to pick up some new summer wheels. Torn between getting gunmetal, black or silver for wheel colour. What do you guys think?

It’s been a while since I posted updates here. I’ve done a few more mods-

Installed sunglass holder where the driver side “oh sh*t” handle was. Super easy and works perfectly.

Also got a new steering wheel ?

I have hyper black with my lsm and I like it. I think gun metal or black chrome would look good too

How deep is the holder? I wear Wiley X wrap around style glasses that seem to be big even folded.

To anyone installing the oem Honda accessories that require power. (Which i have done 4 times). I would not start the install without some 2a micro fuses. You can order it from China for around $3. These are almost impossible to find at auto parts stores in the USA. And if you do find them, you get stuck buying a variety pack which you only really need 1 fuse from.

The fuses were DOA on 2 of the 4 kits I have. These were brand new brought from Honda dealers online. 50% rate is poor. It’s annoying to rip apart your car only for the install to fail because of a fuse. Most of these installs are not hard but tedious because of all of the trim pieces that need to be removed. You want to make sure it actually powers before putting things back together.

Installed a 4th brake light. I took the power from the 3rd brake light.
This light is easier to be seen while driving in the city and in traffic jams as it's higher.

Met up with a couple friends today, and I ended up getting a spare strut bar for free which was really cool.

I have a K&N drop in filter right now, but I'l need to get cai next.
