did the custom LED gauges today took a few hours, barely needed to use the dremmel at all and i love them! Glad to get the white faces off and back to the stock black look, i really like how the black faces look, just not the yellow lights behind them. Anyway, i'll have some pictures up in a few hours of them lit up at night. Have them wired to their own siwtch for the time being, might just wire them into my running lights so they come on whenver i turn my lights on. Not sure how to "wire them into the board" like addiction and gin0o did, but i dont really care about it

Also got the Type-R grill in the mail today and got that right on there since i already had my car in the garage working on it. Fit like a charm, suprising for a $26 ebaygrill,really happy with the look though, picture:



Jun lip should be here sometime this week, gonna get it painted ASAP and installed

Or you can say f-it and reset the thing with your key. I suggest changing your oil (obviously) unless that thing is off, and you didn't reset it when you got your oil changed last.

theres a slot next to the the speedometer near the bottom, you just stick your key into it and it resets. I def need to get better lights in my gauges there so dim at night, the last honda i had they were really bright wonder if it's age or something? Looks good man

Is your grille tightly in there? I got one off ebay that I just put on and it's tight on the top where the clips and pins are in. But there's nothing on the bottom of it holding it down...it flips up and down easily.

Ur all lucky to be able to spend money tricking out yer Civics. I have to sit here with a rope, a 2x4, and a hammer just to get mine looking semi-normal again. Then I got to go dumpster diving to get parts so I can drive it again...

^ i agree man, when your in high school makin minimum wage, ebay and knowing people that work at body shops are two of the best things around haha

Live4it, thanks, i've always wondered what that thing was for

and as a side note, my speedo now goes over 94 again. With the old faces on it, my car would go over 94 but the needle would stop at it. When i would slow down the needle wouldnt move until i finally hit 94 and then it slowed down, kinda hard to explain, but i'm happy it works okay again (dont ask my how i know my needle goes over 94,i know i'mdumb) [&:]

girlfriend got my GReddy counter weighted shift **** for bday last night! woo!

and i also took off those ****tty walmart chrome pedals i had and i'm gonna leave them stock until i find some nicer ones, they were jus nasty lookin.
