a great fit for the crv, you did a great job!!!

**now im back on a hunt again, you made me itch for the cloths..LOL!
the only thing keeping me from swapping out the leather from my civic is that i use the lower carriage
on the passenger side to keep my gps and some other small stuff..
Thank you! i tried my best! the height on these seats are perfect for me.. it feels more sporty.. i already wanna lower my V.. i know they will feel great! I do miss the carriage from the passanger seat but i'll get used to it lol..

***Quick Update***

I'm on Vacation and i left the pics i took in my Laptop, I'll be putting more pics and more info.

The pic below was the day before honda day. i went Saturday i couldn't make it on sunday. I had to lift it up like 1/2 inch because it was rubbing like crazy in the front and the UCA got stuck even tho i shaved it down a lil. LOL!!

Anyways i'll put more pics soon.



Anybody could help me with the wiring of the side markers? i want them to be side markers and signal lights.. i only have 2 wires from the side markers.. i know you gotta connect the possitive of the side marker to the positive of the signal light (located at the head light) and the negative from the side marker ti the positive of the corner lights.. so it's like + from the sidemarkers go to the turn signal + but the - goes to the + from the parking lights instead...

I couldn't figure it out because the turn signal had 3 cables, one black, one red with a green line and a red with gray line.. which one is the positive?

Thanks!

Ohh. Which means i would be tapping the + to the blinker and the - to the running light, that way they will share the same ground. Bro you're a Genious! lol

in our Headlight, there is a bulb that has 3 cables which is the top corner one that acts as corner lights and as a signal light. it has 2 red and 1 black. one red is the blinker, one red is the corner light and black is ground.

when you turn on your lights, the bulb lights up as a corner light, when you turn on your signal the same bulb blinks. if i connect the Positive from the Stanley sidemarker to the blinker and the negative from the Stanley sidemarker to the other red one witch is the corner light it will work as both and it would use the ground from the same bulb.

idk if i made it hard to understand but is an easy thing to do.

Love your grill with the red R and the frontlights,
they combine very well.

Seats also fabulous, wheels and stance too.
Your doing a fab job

If all goes well i will be getting a 2001 B20Z1 with bumpers mirrors and spare tire cover etc, spray painted in color.
Only downside it is full of scratches
Need to see what i can do about that on the cheap ^^.

May have a look into spraying the whole thing satin/matt black myself.

Next week i will know if i get it.

Thank you. in the front i am. you need to. Im running the same i was running with the Si rims.. i Think is 3 mm. but i also have the 25 mm with the bolts but i'm no using it because it pokes out the wheel way too much. :/ it feels weird tho, im getting alot of vibration while driving 40 - 60 mph, if i go faster it goes away. What could it be?

check wheel balancing again... that happened to me a lot of times... especially w/ spacers involved,
also are you using hubcentric spacers?? that might be the issue too!

good luck!
