here's a few pics of the things done or gotten for my FD1 this week:
1. After months of attempting to DIY foglight installations and failing, i went down to a recommended auto mechanic and had them wired up correctly. apparently the problem was that the fuse box was incorrectly wired or something..

2. Got my windows tinted in 20% 3M carbon based tint. took about 3 hours or so and i think it looks awesome.

3. Finally, i also got my mugen lip kit delivered to my house this week. i was pretty worried because at first they sent me a package with just the sideskirts. and i was thinking *wth?! where's the rest of it?*. but it came later in the arvo. here's a pic of just the front lip on. not screwed on or anything, its just slipped on.

now i need to paint it and get it fitted. but first i'll need an exhaust, wheels and suspension. still a lot more to do. i'll keep updating here when i get any other mods :)
EDIT:
4. also got a pic of my car after i took off the 'Civic' and 'Vti' badges. :p

wow nicenice. the kit seems to fit very nicely haha =].
since u wired up the fog lights...and im guessing they are after market.. where do u put the switch?..is it next to the key hole? or is it a replacement of the stick? like the oem are?
the switch fits into that hole just below to fuel milage select/reset button. i had to cut a hole from the back of it to get my switch in there. but i'll go down to the honda dealer whenever i can to get the panel that fits in there to secure the switch and to make it look tidy.
don't forget about learning how to get back into your car if you lock yourself out! neat trick haha, would have saved us so much timee
oh.. whats that LOL. i still dont know it =/
(btw this is .k. on mygfs lil bros acc)
aero's car auto-locked with his keys inside which is so retarded as a door was open and then later on closed but it still locked his keys inside and the racq guy took ages to try to flip the lock on the door but turns out u shud just press the lock/unlock button on the drivers side control unit:
*pause*
. . . I FCKN HATE THAT RAD OVERFLOW !@!@?@!@!@!@!@!@!@!
omg took forever to get it back in, ended up taking off the top and unconnected hoses from the bottle and then i finally got it in..
anyhoo, i successfully installed led parkers + 4750k mtec bulbs into my car and i have pics for a write-up of the headlight + front parker + rear licence plate led so stay tuned!!
watchin poker atm on one-hd so thats why it might take ages
^ lol .k.
You couldn't wait till tomorrow could you? lol... i know the feeling... u get a new mod n u just wanna install it asap..
Yeah the coolent overflow can be a little hard to get back in.. but yeah, with led parkers you may not ever have to again.
Our lights should basically look the same now.. you equally dissapointed with the mtec bulbs? They look ok, but not bright enough whatsoever.
dw mark. get ur foggies up and running, and they'll provide u with extra light :p
i got mtec 4750K too. im not really disappointed, wouldnt mind HIDs of course but too costly =[. and vision isnt too bad, im alright with it. and yea if u really need vision like in the rain the foggies give lots of help =].
mtec bulbs look quite nice from a distance... now i think about i think im gonna get HIDs in the near future lol
Yeah it's not like I *need* more light... I just wasn't expecting stock to be much better than these... meh.. if anything foggies will be good for rain when ur trying to scan the road ahead for big lip-kit-killing potholes.
