Carbon Fibre Trims and New Non-Rice Wipers Installed

Hey guys,

Just a small easy update today.  Went and picked up the carbon fibre interior trims today and installed it.  Here's a before and after shot:

Plain Jane
Saucy Suzy

Rest of the switch panels were also replaced with the matching carbon fibre covers.  Nice uncommon OEM Honda option which add a little touch of sleekness in the interior!

Then along the way it started pouring down and noticed the wipers are starting to lose their efficiency.  So I dropped by Repco to pick up a wiper blade refill pack.  This time I won't go for the ricey red wipers.  Just the normal black silicon type that does it's job properly (not to look "cool").  Call it growing up! Awwww but yes, that's that taken care of :)

Got rice?
Normalcy
Lastly, managed to track down a rear interior high stop brake light! Will be shipped over in the next few days so I'm definitely ready for the rear carbon fibre boot to arrive now! Anyways that's all folks, catch ya later!

Mugen Style Grill Installed!

Howdy folks!

Just arrived back in Auckland and first thing I did when I got home was not unpack my baggage. I said hello to my rabbit Genghis who doesn't seem to recognise me then I went straight to the garage to install the grill!

Here are the before and after pics:

After

In a few weeks the bonnet will be a carbon fibre one so check back on that! I shall write up the process guide of doing the grill DIY style later for those who wonder how I installed it (IT WAS NOT A STRAIGHT FORWARD INSTALL). Check up on the guide in the modifications section.  Until the carbon bonnet update, catch ya guys later!

Mini Update!!! Mugen Styled Grill and Carbon Fibre Bonnet on Order!

Hi all, I mentioned a few weeks back that I was getting the exhaust and intake sorted? Well, na. Waiting on the exhaust though hopefully the guy selling it is just on holiday hence no word :P But keeping myself busy nonetheless! Found a Mugen styled grill for sale and snapped it up today (Thanks to my sis for handling all the certing and parts purchases while I've been on holiday overseas).  Here's a pic:


In other news, I've also put down an order for an OEM carbon fibre bonnet! Will arrive in February so will have an update on that sometime then as well.

Once I return next Thursday, I'll redo the grill into black and install a mesh to suit and install in the R! So will update then :D

Laters!!!
