I luv em. (Mannici Luxury Mats) Kind of an alternative to Weathertech. Easy to keep clean and cushy too. I need some Type R slippers. Lol!!
I love your style there! Looking good!
Can you share the purchase link? Thx!

do you know the exact OEM measurements and dimensions of where to install the VTEC TURBO decal? i got mine but have not put on yet
Be very careful as you really only have 1 chance. There are 2 cutouts. I just lined it up at the edges of the rear H. Use some masking tape to help line it up. The paper holding the decal lined up with the edge of the hatch. I was 1mm off on the right vs. the left, though it's centered. Lol don't think anyone really notices but myself.

Grab a flashlight and shine it on the back of the glass under the brake light you will see two triangles that you can line the sticker up with. They are almost invisible unless you look at the correct angle with the proper amount of light. I received this information courtesy of RedFK8

Cheap mod that works. Save your money and time by not replacing with some damn expensive JDM yellow fog light units requiring bumper removal.

Lamin-X yellow fog lights protective film, best there is. Just need enough to cut 2 circles at 2.75” diameter (or 3” diameter and trim off if you can’t tuck in the edges all the way. Easy...

I always install any film with a spray steamer, best technique to soften and mold the film. Squeegee out the moisture and bubbles. Done!

Looks good, but just a heads up that I did this on my’06 Si & the halogens burned the Laminx film. Not sure if the LED’s get hot enough, but just something to watch for. I must say that the JDM fogs are pretty sweet. Expensive, but very high quality. They look good even when they are off.

Nope, no worry since CTR fogs are LEDs not halogens. I never film halogen lights for that exact reason, heat. That’s the whole point of LEDs since they run cooler.

nice but in all honestly it was very simple to remove the fog light covers. you don't even have to remove the bumper
but to save money, i'll give you that...
congrats on the yellow fogs!

Awesome Easter Sunday drive with my Mrs today. We ran our FK8 thru the south Texas Hill Country then I gave it a hand shampoo bath using CarPro’s Reset!
My chassis was coated in C-Quartz Finest on its 3rd day and from my expireance using a little Reset is like magic, Type R looks brand new again, I Love it!!
Anyways...a little update since my CEL problem earlier this week. R-00057 ran like a champ today! Shit, even held its own with a late model Vette & some Evo’s!! Thru 200 miles of sprited driving I sensed no misfires, had no CEL issues and I am hopeful this weeks problem was just a fluke but will be keeping an eye on it next time I give it some hell!! For now it’s cleaned up and back on the charger till next time!
