Carbon Bits In!

Hey readers, update on the carbon bits.  I've finally put them in after a few minor difficulties to get the bits to sit just flush.

Packages arrived!
The rear boot ended up being a CF4 SiR-T Accord which required me to change the garnish lights and optionally, the tail lights (which you'd do so to match the garnish lights duh).

I ended up finding a Accorneo (Accord/Torneo Club Group from NZHondas) member who has the set of lights so I snapped them up and all fixed!

Next problem was the bonnet not sitting flush.  It was literally sitting approximately 10mm higher than the right guard!

Boo.
After some research, found that aftermarket bonnets will need to be adjusted and is done so in two ways: 
-Adjusting the hood latch
-Adjusting the bonnet hinges

For a guide on those, refer to the modifications section.

After some adjusting, here are the results:





As for other updates, I'm currently polishing up the Kakimoto exhuast and Top Fuel Intake.  Will get pictures of the progress up in the next few days.  Laters!
