ive just picked up a few quick items off ozhonda wasnt too sure how it would all turn out but turned out very well thought id share some pics with people who might be thinking on buying the same products or would like to know how they fit n quality of them enjoy!

amber corner lights were picked up from modproject quality was really good was sealed really nicely and no edges hangiing off have washed the car a few times and they havent fogged up only real issue was the light doesnt sit in the hole properly on the corner light so a quick shave down of the hole fit the bulb in great

the front lip is a spoon one from modproject also its frp so was quiet easy fit and it fit really tightly wrapped around the front bar great also came with self tapping screws which made things awhole lot easier i used two screws on each corner to hold it in theres a little lip in d middle that sits on the front bar so it sits quite steady

and also the spoon replica mirrors which i picked up from jdmyard probably the easiest thing to fit their manual adujsting ones so no tinkering with the electrics as said easy bolt on only slight issue is glass isnt very adjustable as it comes seperate in the packaging and you have to do a mock run and adjust it to how you like before you stick the glass on with the supplied double sided tape came with all screws and nuts needed quality also really good black hasnt faded or anything the glass also has a blue tinge which some how makes things look quite clear i duno maybe my old mirrors were really crap
also the brackets supplied sit very flush remember to use the rubber from the oldd mirror otherwise ur gona get an awkward gap and water will leak in

last is type r rear lip from jdmyard is afp or arp? plastic i would say i definately prefer polyurethane as it is really easy to deal with but none the less this was quite easy to fit but because it is plastic it does feel a little stiff and fragile so i was a little heasitant with screwing it in like crazy also would probably best advised to have a mate hold it while trying to line up the screws as it tends to swing about abit but as shown in the picture it does fit quite well with no gaps it came with normal screws not self tapping ones so a quick dash to bunnings was needed the way the corners sit i wasnt able to fit two screws on each end as i did with the front lip so i only had one screw on each end but my best idea would be to put some sort of sealant under the middle of the lip to where to give it some more strength was its in a somewhat awkward position to put a screw in plus it sits about 5cm down from where oem rear bar ends oh yeah beaks tie bar featured there looks nice thats about it = )

sick of your old 90's style windscreen wipers? had a nice squeeze at those bmw aero ones? you can have them too! haha
picked these up at my local supercheap cost around 20 bucks each i think? think the brand was aungers or something? not sure was to eager and ripped off the packaging before i got a good look
they work quite well as all new wipers should no sound when wiping and great coverage over the windscreen

as promised i have installed a set of dc2 front seats and dc5r rear seats
heres a couple of before and after shots i think the dc2 seats are a nice subtle addition to the boring interior, as you can see the eg seats were saggy really saggy and if you look close enough you can see the metal frame almost protruding from back bolster.

this is a quick shot of the dc5 seat installed apologies for no step by step/progress photos of the installation did it at about 11pm at night in a mates backyard barely had light, anywho as you can see it does sit quite flush although the seat was already modified for ek when i had purchased it you can tell the bottom part has been heavily modified as when you look the underside of the seats there is alot of left over trimming which has been tucked under and ziptied but looking at the back rests they seem to be perfectly fine and no need to mod and they hook into that little clip that allows you to fold the seats down too

I think you need to give that badboy a drop to finish off the overall look really well.
I like what you've done, it shows me what my EG will look like ;)
I've got the modproject corners too, bit of a shame about the way the light fits(or the fact that it doesn't).

Im going to wait to see the seats go in :)

their universal ones i think their called aero style or somerthing of the sort the sizes and length matched up perfectly with the oem blades

Haha I have purchased almost the identical items a month or so back, but from various places.

My Amber corners, I tried to heat up the plastic to get the lamp socket in, ended up melting a big hole in my lounge room carpet.. errr ended up getting them to fit, but also had the problem that the sticker that covers the hole on the ambers fell inside one and stuck to the reflective stuff, i tried warm water, no good, tried metho, ended up with an odd milky look over the lens. UGH! It isnt TOO noticable but you can tell. Painful.

Replica Spoon Mirrors - I got the electric ones, the wiring diagram I found on the net was a bit wrong so they dont go in all directions, I ended up pushing them into place!

Wiper Blades - They are awesome! So smooth and dont leave any bits untouched!

Good reviews mate!
