Just be careful to clean both surfaces with isopropyl alcohol and apply even pressure, plus allow cure time. If you do that itll be almost impossible to tear off.

Yes you can, works great for keeping the wires in place and helping prevent corrosion from moisture.

While inspecting the rear Swifts after a week of driving, I took some measurements of the rear trailing arm spring seats and wheel height while at rest and at full droop. It turns out the rear suspension Motion Ratio for GE8 is 0.9, and not the previously discussed 0.77. The rear springs' compression at rest also confirms the finding.

Installed the Canadian hood deflector that I found at a garage sale in Seattle for $20 a few weeks ago.

^ Nice, and it even has "Fit" if you purchase a new one they are made from a company called truefit, so it says that instead.

You know threads are slow when the thread that started because threads were slow, is slow.

and rear bolt for the disk brake conversion (Wilwood) from Summit Racing,
also
ordered, JDM Integra DC5 type R rear (Red) brake caliper and some other parts from Japan needed for the Front Brembo conversion...
Hope to order the Brembo Gran Turismo kit sometimes next week...

Thank you. Can't afford upgrades now so I have to live vicariously.

Finally installed this! Was going to install it directly into the lip but i just couldnt find the exact center as it was too difficult for me to measure, and commit to cutting a hole. Too many curves and angles to line up my tape measure to lol.

Looks good.. i've been thinking of doing this with the stock bumper..

How did you wire it and does it flash or is it a solid light when braking? Where did you get the led from?
