This is what my Hatch looked like when I first got it. I drove it like this for almost 2 years. What was i thinking...

Bads:
- Notice the "Carbon Fiber" grill
- Hazed headlights
- Ugly welded "tow hooks"
- Bent Hood and Front bumper
- Crashed driver fender
- Broken Passenger side mirror

 

Once I gathered up a little money, I was able to put a whole new stock OEM Front End

 

Next, I worked on my suspension. The previous owner took the cheap way out and cut the 2 front springs to lower the car. My ride was way too bumpy and alignment was horrible!!

2. Xenon 8K Hid Kit

I installed my new spark plugs. It looked like they hadn't been changed for a while with all that rust. I love the new HIDs @ Night and the EK4 Amber Clock is the best minor interior mod one can make !!! However, someone like me with 0 to none experience in working with cars... installation was...

 

Looks great so far! Quite a change from the first pics. Keep up the good work.

 

Where did you get that clock from????

 

they pop up in the for sale section

 

Yeah did you ever change your climate control bulbs? Mine are more amber, but I bought a white clock and would prefer if my climate looked like yours.

SOOO SEXY

 

bump for a thread really similar to mine, i'm rocking the same headunit.

 

Look in the For Sale section. They randomly show up!

 

Thanks for the bump

 

I was so excited when I was installing my clock that I didn't even look into changing the bulbs... I think all one color would look good?

 

This is how my Hatch currently sits...
- Any comments or suggestions are welcomed

 

it looks really good!

What im saying is, my climate control bulbs are more so amber (didn't change them, they just are), but my clock is White.

Your clock is amber, but your climate is more so white. We need to switch some how lol

 

Oh, I see what your saying, but no thanks lol. It was hell installing that thing

 

Hos low did your sk2 springs set?

 

*how

 

lol your not understanding. i dont want you clock. i just want to find out how to make my climate control to be more white then amber.

 

Front Drop: 2.5
Rear Drop: 2.25

Perfect for me! No fender rubbing or anything. Still good on bumps and dips.

 

I have no idea bro. I haven't done anything to mine. Now that you mention it... it does look more white than amber huh

 

yeah if your climate control had amber bulbs it would match the clock better.
I want to make my climate control bulbs white some how (how yours looks) to make my white ek4 clock

 

Quick Update:

Awaiting my CTR Front Sway Bar and CTR Upper control arms.

Also awaiting an order from Majestic Honda for some interior pieces to keep the clean OEM interior look!!
