Cutoff picture?

Oh wait...

It's pretty bad when the photo is ultra over-exposed thanks to the lack of a good beam pattern.

At 6k, you probably will see less of the road than you would with a proper halogen.

My hood sat like it was popped up constantly from my father trying to jack my car up for my first oil change back when I was 16, after being sick of it sitting like a doof for 3 years. Boyfriend and I finally buckled down and fixed the support frame in the front, a janky way of doing it, but it fixed it quite nicely.



and painted my lights black housing and amber corners, turned out lovely!!

Wrapped my roof with carbon vinyl. It''ll help me live with the busted paint job a while longer. Word of advice. DO this when it's warm or the adhesive won't hold. A hair dryer works wonders. Picks when it get's light out.

Looks like a CTR with the CIVIC emblem from the trunk stuck on it.
Looks good though
^^

Also, finally finished putting in the other Teg seat the other day.
DAMN these seats kick the crap outta my old stock ones!
And my back thanks me for the lumbar support!

This is a textured vinyl so it looks almost like the real thing.
This was my first attempt ever and I was overall pleased. Learned some stuff rather quickly.
Work with a partner.
Work with a partner that can take direction from you.
Work with a partner that cares about the end result just as much as you do, if not more.
Tape back the the front and rear windshield moldings to avoid cutting them during trimming. This goes back to that partner thing.
The sunroof was a big pain in the ***.
You WILL get a shoulder workout while working with this stuff.
Work in relatively warm temperatures but NOT in direct sunlight.
Use a hair dryer on medium heat to make the vinyl workable.
Air bubbles WILL pop up the next day no matter HOW smooth you think you've gotten everything.

Trunk next.
