UPDATE!!! Paint almost done!!







Yesterday did some work on the ride.

Installed the following items:

EF9 Hatch (bronze glass) with EF9 Rear spoiler
J's Racing hatch spoiler
Password JDM front lip
EF9 front seats
GAB Rear strut bar
JDM Rear bumper spoiler pieces







Installation for the rear ef hatch, was sorta simple. Thanks to my trusty wood stick i was able to prop up the hatch and remove the 4 bolts that hold the hatch to the hinges. I couldn't figure out how to take the wiring off so i ended up cutting the harness

Installed the jdm hatch using my trust stick again and vola, jdm hatch installed. I didn't have my voltage meter here @ home so I will have to wait till i wire up the third brake light.

For the J's racing lip, I sanding it a little and rattle canned it with some black primer, slid it over the jdm hatch spoiler and screw it with some 1/4" screws.

Password JDM was sorta a bitch to put in by myself, good thing i had some clamps so i used them to line it up, put 2 screws on each side, then 2 in the middle, also did a tie strap on the bottom.

EF9 front seats, were a snap, after getting some help from my new homie Jose. Did a pan swap. So you just take the bottoms off the usdm seats and remove the cushions.
Once that is done you do the same with the jdm seats, then use the usdm pans and the jdm cushions and bam you are done. You do lose some functional options but i can deal with it.

Gab strut bar fairly simple and straight forward. Removed the rear strut interior caps, loosen one side of the bar using allen and 17mm open wrench. Fitted one side and then the other, tighten it up and done.

JDM rear bumper lower spoiler pieces. Most of the holes on the spoiler and bumper were trashed. So i just screwed it into the bumper and was done with it.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Its about a inch and half away from the original spot.

 

LOOKS NICE BUT LOOSE THE SPOILER

 

wow.

add some tech on how you did the install or take this thread to appearance/cosmetic.

 

How does the J's spoiler fit? I was told by a friend that it has to go on top of the factory SI spoiler. True??

Also, the rear lip, do the non-USDM sedans have something like that?? I love the look of your rear bumper lip pieces.

 

that wing is pretty ******* ugly

 

DAMN gotta love the the theme of the car GOOD luck with the build...

DAMN some hard words on here about the parts on this car, would love to see what there cars look like ...

ROBERT see you NISEI week car show...

MOE@HYPER16VALVE...

 

the tech part his civic is a 90-91 and i think the seats he has are 88-89 so how did you get them to fit???

Also the J's racing wing is a slip over wing that attaches to a JDM sir wing can be taken on and off at will depending how the wing is mounted...

J's spoiler slips over the jdm sir spoiler. DOES NOT FIT USDM spoiler.

Rear bumper is a JDM spec bumper with no crash beam. Not sure if the usdm has a similar lip to fit, i am sure you can get a JDM lip and fit it on the usdm bumper.

 

moe, can you get me a replacement dual carb sticker for my hatch window? the one on it is in some bad *** shape.

Thanks.

 

Theres some for ya lol ... think i told you to change the seat pans LOL...

ROBERT good ****...

 

Yup yup!! Have a set of seat brackets for sale :-)

 

Looks Nice Not to much on the Spoiler But other then Thats Looks Great

 

Thanks, still debating on what color to paint her.
