Over the past few days I've been doing a partial wire tuck in which I plan to finish at another time. I got rid of most of the wiring though. I relocated my under hood fusebox to under the dash. which I plan to re move to under the passenger seat. (will post pictures up later) and relocated the front headlights and radiator fan wiring into the frame under the fenders along with other various wiring that I could move. over all I had to dis-assemble the entire front end minus the hood and bumper mount. lol took me total over 20 Hrs and I'm still not finished. next plan is to relocate the battery and finish whatever hideous wiring still remans. I will post pictures of the project in the project section when fully completed.

Start with a real claybar, that ice stuff is junk.

What polish are you using, and are you polishing by hand or with an orbital?

i had good luck with that ice stuff on my old black civic. i did it all by hand.
but next time i do a wax job im going to try the real clay bar and see how that turns out. but on a black car that really makes it tuff, but when its smooth its just pure sexy!!!!!!

Fixed the outside handle on my back door. (this makes both back doors on this civic AND my last civic that were busted lol)

Also changed my clutch fluid. Made a noticeable improvement in clutch feel

One high beam bulb wasn't working, so I replaced high beam bulbs (aftermarket lights, so i have dual beams). Then realized that it wasn't the bulb and it's the wiring lol. Great.
