Default black interior and JDM amber climate control... (lacking instructions)*

what happens when i get the hatch stolen......?


i sourced out a mint black interior from a VX and began switching things over (sorry no pics)....

i used dupli-color fabric dye on the seats.... (two cans per seat w/ 2 minute intervals)

blue? i dont think so.


taaa daaa!!!!!!! pics dont do any justice, will get some more tonight.




---------------------------i was bored last night so i decided to put 10 coats of color on two #74 sylvania bulbs.

of course i followed these more detailed instructions.... https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=661308 curtosey of bauleycivic.


and then let them dry overnight.

these plugs were a pain to remove...



rrremove the blue condum bulbs and install the amber ones



i always like to make sure everything works b4 i put it back together..



i will try and take some pics tonight of the CC so check back if u want.
