because back in the day lots of enthusiasts were chroming everything under the hood and then run into the problem of overheating because so much heat was just being bounced around under the engine bay.

maybe just the rocker cover wont hurt.

Thanks man, but I doubt it'll cause any problems.

Hey that turned out real nice!

be weary dont press it down hard on installation wait until its sitting how u want then begin to force it down.

Use a heat gun to mould the vinyl. if there are bubbles use a pin to poke a small air hole in it.

That's the technique they used when I had mine done professionally.

Yeah, that's the easiest method.

Just installed some 6" MB Quart NAN-116 2 way speakers in the rear of the Prelude. They've got a lot better response than the crap 5" Pioneer things I had in there before hand.
Next up will be some splits for the front.
Something like this, hopefully they aren't too large.

Measure the depth of the speaker hole thats already in there. There have been some cases that people have got speakers that are to deep and the window doesnt close and open properly

Yeah thanks, I'll have to check all that out before I purchase the splits.

Painted my brake calipers today, the red that was on there starting to flake and peel, so I hit them with some Silver enamel.

I didn't realise the gutter rash was so bad on the wheels...
Previous owner, I swear.

Looks far better, what kind of prep work do you have to do before painting calipers?
