It is a spray. $6 a can at home depot. The brilliant part is that it peels right off (I already removed the painted gas tank door).
1 can = 4 oem wheels (spraying just the silver parts).
I didn't have to remove the gas tank door, just taped around it and off you go .
Didn't remove the emblem (but it's not the cleanest of jobs).
I'm contemplating the chrome parts, didn't even notice them until someone pointed them out...

My car is leased and I definitely need much more bass (#Hardstyle ) for the next 36 months
Cost: The sub/amp was ...$99.00
Line converter was....65.00
amp install kit was....14.00

Difficulty:depends on your level of knowledge. For me is was easy because I've done this many times. That being said, there are a ton of videos on Youtube that can help anyone...even me!! Because the Honda head unit does not have RCA output jacks, you must tap into the factory speakers. I found the best place to do this was at the rear doors where the rubber grommet goes into the door. You have to identify which wires are from the speakers. The only way to know for sure is to see them at the source. I think the colors were pink (+) and green (-). You car may vary so make sure. Sense I had to "see" the speakers I figured I might as well replace them as well.

Results: I couldn't be happier. If you need more info, message me your email.

Thank you so much for both your replies!

It looks like I'm going to have to pay for someone to install all this (I know my limitations).

Thanks again.

Isn't that camera adjustable? When mine indicates three feet, it's almost exactly right.

Yeah, that would be the same. Thou, I paid much less via Amazon Japan. Please note it was a tight fit and I doubt it will come back out. Afterwards I wished I had bought the version with the dual USB ports.

where did you get the pillar lights? Those look real cool to light up the head liner with some LEDs!

I got them from Amazon Japan ($70.00). Often hard to find them in stock. From time to time you might find them on Amazon but again, their out of stock and twice the price.

When you get them installed, take a few pictures, curious as to high bright they are.

I haven't installed them yet. I'm having second thoughts and thinking of getting the 2 pillar set instead. The best placement on our GK is the B pillar. The C pillar is far to back to do anything. Had thought of modding them to help light the cargo area. I had this same set in my Scion xb and enjoyed them very much. FYI, the lights are adjustable for brightness.

OP here.
Lol,No, it wasn't me who wrote that.
It signifies that I'm a PC gamer :-)
Look at your keyboard layout, it will shed some light (we use these keys to go fwd/back/left/right).
