tCtCtC

I really dont care.
Heres a small update of what I've been doing since monday.

Hmmmm, looks normal...

wait... what?

oh, there it is...

engine bay!

theres something missing....

oh

might as well clean under it while its out


So basically...
-Baked open the headlights to reseal (POS EBAY FTL)
-Changing my air filter cause ITS NOT A REAL AEM INTAKE (LIARS FTL)
-New K&N air filter
-Cleaning the engine bay
-Wink mirror should be here tomorrow...
-Debadged the Civic emblem.

On a side note, the first family picture!


Also, the color of my body panels looks off cuz of the flash and some parts are clean, some arent =/

Meguiars make a pretty nice solution to get rid of all the nasty blemishes on your headlights. I would suggest you either get geniune headlights or buff the blemishes out. Also Wire tuck should be on your list of things to do for your engine bay

I might want to get this up to date....

-Wink Mirror Installed
-Intake Cleaned, shop ordered the wrong filter, waiting on a new one.
-Cleaned the throttle body
-Neighbor called 911 for revving while cleaning it, got a no front plate ticket for the OTHER CAR.
-Degreased motor

Also, domo, ive tried EVERYTHING on the headlights. theyre as good as theyre gonna get.

Even meguiars? That stuff is suppose to work well. Personally, I never tried it but Meguiars products usually leave me with a smile. I have bought over 400 dollars worth of Meguiars products in the last 2 years. Thats my testimony to you on how well their products perform. Oh you should add, fuel injector cleaners..will run you 6 to 7 bucks.

I've used meguires for a very long time also, but i find that mothers works better. but i use an almost 100% carabua wax now. i tried 7 different products on the headlights and none work... just cheap ebay crap

Yanki01

wet sand the headlights and buff them out.

tCtCtC

I already used the Turtle Wax restore kit which comes with 1000-2000 grit sand paper.

3m makes a headlight kit. Used it on an old car that was hazy and worked great. I think it's $20 at autozone.

hotbox05

is there a film on the inside of the lights ?

tCtCtC

No there isn't.

Another little update... polished the shift **** (pics dont show it as well as it is in person) got the mirror installed, and the motor is all done, just waiting on the filter. I'll have my Stage 1 mod list up tomorrow? I'm also still waiting on my license plate, so I DGAF about my current one. IDK if I mentioned this already, but my neighbor called 911 on me for revving. And last, my "AEM" intake is fake.

Enjoy.
