Finally finished all my interior LED lighting.

Instrument cluster converted to blue

Dome Light converted to blue

Climate Control Converted to blue, and put some LED strips in the slot under the head unit, cut a piece of plexiglass to fit over it and had a sticker made to cover it

LED strips under the dash, also have one for the back seat but dont have a pic, all run off a switch i put over next to the fog light switch

Trunk Lighting, 2 LED strips plus replaced the stock bulb with a 13 SMD LED

Why the hell would you put a nice big yellow sign telling thieves what stereo components you have in the car?

I was a low life stereo thief in my teens and we loved guys like you that take the guess work out of it. What is even better is the ones that blast the stereo coming into their own neighborhood and right up to their house. Might as well draw arrows right to your car.

License plate lights are illegal as hell. Trust me been there as well in my youth. ANY blue lights on the outside are very bad.

Rest looks clean. Keep it that way, I can feel where this build is going and I am guessing that it won't stay that way...

Dude where i live theres barely any crime plus ive got an expensive alarm system so im not all that worried about my stuff getting stolen, but i got that sticker quite a while back and im prolly gonna be swapping it for a smaller one. And im from canada and im pretty sure those lights arent illegal here, me and a couple of my buddies have them and weve never been pulled over for them. As for where my build is going im pretty much done with what im gonna do, ive put enough money into it as it is

So I've decided against going back to school this year, so that means more money for car parts =)

I took off the decals with the intention of putting smaller ones, but when I saw how nice and clean she looked without them i decided to leave it as is =)


White LED bulbs for the reverse lights


Swapped the 8000K HIDs for 3000K, and added some for the fogs as well, for some reason the fogs are more white than yellow, but I still like it


swapped the plexiglass sticker


Using plasti-dip, i blacked out the outer portion of my grill for a "floating" effect (Theres a DIY for it here somewhere)


Painted the Honda emblems gold, and debadged the civic one. when i eventually repaint the car, im gonna get the holes in the trunk plugged and get an emblemless grill for a complete debadge


Current plans are sound system upgrades =)
Next pay I'm swapping the subs and amp for 2 Kicker CompVR (400W RMS apiece) in a ported Kicker box with a Kicker ZX750.1 amp (which actually puts out 900+W RMS), then getting some spacers to move the 6.5s to the front doors, and with some modding ill be putting Kicker KS693 6x9s for the rear, then adding a second amp to the equation =)

Once next spring rolls around, I'll be fixing the dent in my door and repainting the whole car, Im currently thinking of going with Sparkling Silver (WV2) from the R34 GTR

It definitely looks cleaner sans the stickers. Tint and suspension and this thing will be baller.

Ya, i look at it now and im like why did i ever put them on in the first place :P and tint is definately on my to do list, my gf's friends dad does it and he said if i wanted them done he'd do them for cheap, so ill prolly have em before too long =) as for suspension, id really love to drop her about an inch and with new shocks and sway bars, but im just really worried about winter, it can get pretty bad here plus most of the roads arent too great.

I definitely know what you mean about harsh winters and such...no sense in tearing up the undercarriage of your ride. Clean build though. Bet the tunes sound awesome!
