My vote . I wanna pick a pair of these decals up sometime too, and already decided this is where I would stick it once I got it.

I think installing a nitrous oxide kit would be a nice thing for you to add to your list of things to do..... I understand that law enforcement people in your neck of the woods frown on things like that... All the more reason to do it, right?

The third pic is where I put mine, go for it, it really stands out on the white for sure

I'm surprised you don't post more pics of the seat covers.... (hint, hint)

I think most of what you've done looks good, just can't warm up to those ss pillars though, especially with the vent visors, lots of textures and colors going on there for me, BUT.....your car is unique nonetheless

Just what I need. It would cut down my driving time to grocery store by maybe a minute. Would get me through the school zone faster thereby cutting down the time the kids are exposed to me though. Besides I am on Lipitor which causes gas. If I want to go faster I just wave the sheets.

Well crap Shora I recall typing a reply but then I am old eh. It came with my Garmin. I have the base super glued to the dash as the tape would not hold it. So I will have a mark should I ever remove it.

Somebody likes my Clazzios - I have someone elses pics saved. Mine are black with leather inserts and blue stitching. The blue is close match the the Honda AT knob. The covers with dash kit really set it off I think.

A few seat pics. These are not mine but identical. You tend to forget most people do not have this luxury. They are always clean. No Food. No Pets allowed.

When I had my door panels off doing the mirrors I was looking at how the fabric panels where attached. Maybe next year may replace with a black vinyl - maybe.

I use a Garmin as well, but it only came with a windsheild adaptor (or did it-I will check the box again).

If mine didn't come with it, I will contact Garmin about ordering one.

Thanks bud!

Thanks for suggestions. The decision has been made, the car washed and decals applied. I put them a bit higher as suggested by KC. I also took one of the 4 ways flashing to get both mirror winkers lit as well.

So I should be what another 5 - 10 hp with the decals?

The ones is the seat cover pics? As I said those are not my seats but identical to mine. I have regular Fit mats in mine. Also a set of aftermarket ones for winter.

I've been sitting here and eye balling your car.. I expect to be flamed for saying this but here goes. The chrome looks nice to me and chrome wheels, grille, fog light housings, rear hatch garnish, door handles and so on would look good... I'm not saying that it needs all or any of these things but on a white car it isn't an in your face contrast as it would be on any other color car... Chrome is easy to clean as well so you would benefit time wise and be able to spend more time behind the wheel or messing with your slot car track.

I forgot that my Garmin came with that dash mount. Thanks for reminding me about it Black3sr. Boy am I happy that I didn't throw it away.

As you stated, it does come with a very thin layer or double sided tape. I decided to remove it using a heat gun (hair dryer should be fine too), and replaced it with heavier duty double sided tape.

I have used this double sided tape before and it is super strong. Best thing about it is that it doesn't leave a mark upon removal so long as you heat it before removing. Worst case, a little Goo Gone, and nobody will ever know it was ever there.[/quote]

Shora. Glad you found it. I think telling us you used a better tape would have been sufficient but hey. Wish I had tried a different tape, but am I ever going to take it off? Likely not.

I doubt flaming would affect your tough old hide.

Finally I get a positive on the pillar chrome right?

Well I kinda like it the way it is as far as chrome goes. I did look at all that stuff though. Can't buy into the rear hatch piece. Handles hmm.

What I do not like about my pillars is C and front pieces are just flat where as the B is rounded and looks so much better. I almost pulled them off when I frst pt them on. They look OK to me even with the vent visors.

I have though about replacing the grille. I almost sprung for one of those Ebay things. Glad I didn't. Having the deflector on the hood sort of breaks up the lines so changing the grille is not going to do much unless I lose the deflector. I am toying with a black vinyl hood but then kinda ricey looking for an older gentleman driver( well never know one may drive it).

So in conclusion - no more chrome for now.

Now where are the pics of your GD? Hell I don't think I even know the colour of it.

Hey got a haircut today. Clazzios are great. The bits of grey just wipe away. So you old farts with grey hair get Clazzios.

Black3sr, thanks for posting the pics of your recent decal mod!

I too have the Body Side Moldings and was wondering how the i-VTEC decal would look with them, and I must say, no too bad at all

Now if I could just trust myself to try and put them on myself, I'd just hate to mess this up..

Any tips on how to get them as straight as possible?

Ah someone else with the moldings. They look good. Much better than the wide blunt ones.

Well I used the good eye to apply the decals. It would be nice to have a template like for the moldings. I suppose you could make one to line up with the molding. I think I have both close to same distance from rear wheel well and pretty much centered vertically. Hey they can't see both sides at the same time.

I peeled all the backing off and stretched it out and applied the top. Then used the backing to rub it out from the center to the ends and bottom.

I was gogint o get blue ones as everything else is done in blue but the black is a bit more classy or less ricey.
