Thanks for posting the pictures. It allowed me to see how the sun roof drains are routed. I didn't know there were two in the rear, I thought it was just one. Looks like 2 in the front as well.

I'm glad when I tear the car apart, that I can be helpful to others.


Of course if we had a proper shop manual (besides the online one posted by SilverEX15 - https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/3rd-...ce-manual.html) things would be easier.

Installed my new horn.


To get to the good stuff, go to 30 secs.

The Sound Bomb is big and definitely heavier. I had to fashion a strong bracket and do some wiring with the relay.


It is loud. And it sounds just like in the video.


I've had the Hella Supertones before on my Integra. This Sound Bomb is much better.

hella horns have a nasty/scary sound.... it would appear the sound bomb is like that, but even more crazy. I approve of this


side note.... that plate matches the pedals perfect! care to share, where the rest of us could pick 1 up?

The Supertones are loud. They just don't sound that good to me.


The heel plate is generic. You'll find it all over eBay and Amazon. I'm not sure if I want to remove the rubber bumps, since that was my original plan. It might chew up my shoes.

I've bought a lot of stuff from TT over the years. They typically don't sell garbage. That horns sounds crazy! Did you have to add a relay for it?

You'll definitely need a relay, as the fuse required is 30 amps. The stock horns are either 7.5 or 10 puny amps.


The Denali is made in Italy and it shows. I was considering Wolo horns, but all the reviews show that they fail after a few months..... or after a few uses.

Finally did my corner light mod. When the nose of my car is poking out, I want that rather useless corner light to flash!

The security flash is OEM Honda, and to me, a waste of a light that can be used better.


This mod is just adding 1 wire (represented by the green line) after severing the normal power wire to the corner bulb.
