They were gently used. I got them from a part out over on TFC (even though I don't have a FB account bwuahaha).

Not entirely sure when yo use them...I have the blue/black OEMs, my 3d Aries mats and now these.

I like the 3D mats due to their solid build and I have 2 dogs and we know how the carpet/upholstery is a magnet for anything, especially dog hair. So they work great regarding that...they are just slippery and not entirely comfy.

OEMs/Mugens will collect dog hair like nobodies business....maybe I just have to alternate from time to time haha.

Yeah those LED's are insanely bright. even just using the center dome light looks like it outputs enough light for the whole car lol.

Researching vinyl for my tail lights...have done flat surfaces tons of times...but never a curve this drastic.

Very nice!

Getting my rear fenders rolled today. Hope it's enough to stop the rubbing. Not really wanting for a pull in the rear. If rubbing still persists....may have to be cool like everyone else and get new wheels.

LOL I was wondering what "narrowing" meant in regards to a roller. Darn autocorrect.

I'm having some guy come by to do it today. Figure he's been doing it for 5+ years and can knock it out in about an hour.

Picked up a Honda cargo tray from a local CL seller. Got it for a super sweet deal and couldn't pass up.

I didn't do any car stuff, but I finally laid my pavers today. After the gravel, sand and then laying down 275 bricks I'm beat to shit!! Tomorrow, roll fenders!!! Hopefully I can do the valve cover gasket on Monday!

I bet! Had my rear fenders rolled yesterday. The guy made it look super easy. He was also surprised that the rears were already at some sort of angle from the factory which basically made his job 1/2 as hard...but not half as cheap lol.

Go slow and use a heat gun. Including lifting and lowering the car, it shouldn't take more than an hour and change. I had the car on jacks already for him and it took him about 45 minutes to roll both. Hopefully get a drive in today or tomorrow to "test" it. But I'm 95% sure the rubbing will be gone.

Plan to wash and vacuum the car as well as purchase the vinyl for my tails.
