Re: RI5ING SUN's Super Slow 09 FA5 Build
Alright all done installing the HFP rear under spoiler and it was kind of a bitch lol but all went well.
Removing rear bumper was extremely easy
Took everything inside was about 15 degrees when I started early morning
Drilling in the wholes was very easy everything is already marked by Honda from factory all you have to do is drill 10mm holes, 10 in all and install as followed by the PDF file you get from CollegeHillsHonda. The thing that worried me the most was actually cutting the exhaust piece. But it's already marked again from factory where exactly you need to cut. Instructions said to use a Hacksaw but I just used my Dremel
My only suggestion is before bolting everything up is to be very careful with the black trim you see in the pic if you aren't careful you'll bend it in and have to take everything apart and align it back up.
With everything done was easy putting the bumper back on and it came out great. Love the HFP kit a lot cheaper the Mugen and I think it look's damn good sets the car off just right and it's so subtle.
Thanks for looking

So this happen and I had about an inch of water front and back. Got out as much water as I could but now I have to remove carpet and make sure everything is nice and dry. The only issue I have noticed is DRL's are not coming on hopefully it's just a fuse

That's crazy. Hope nothing is messed up too bad. My Mom and her boyfriend live in a flood zone for tidal flooding from a salt water bay and he built wooden "stilts" that go under the tires of his cars so he can lift them a few feet in the air if a hurricane comes through. He had to put his shed way up off the ground, his ac unit, moved all his ductwork and central heat and air and hot water tank to the attic. Water will F stuff up quick.
