That reminds me, I want to re-wrap mine in a black cloth material, the CTR look is fading for me, lol.

hey how did you re-attach the arm rest section after you re-upholstered it?

I know that from the factory it uses melted plastic rivets to hold into place, but from the looks of the pics, it looks like you cut those off. How did you get it to go back into place?

i used my hot glue gun..... i was going to use some epoxy but i dont have any i figure if the hot glue doesnt hold then ill just pull that glue off and epoxy it solid solid.... but the hot glue seems to be holding it plenty! just gotta hold that panel in tight while the glue dries. not hard at all to do!

i just love my hot glue gun

You can also use 1/2" sheet metal screws and washers to re attach the armrest!!

I rebolted mine with fine thread for "future" work, because I knew I was going to rewrap them in black. (maybe with red stitching)

o ok i never thought about bolting it on..
well i think im gonna pull the fabric off the top and slap some bondo and sand the top smooth. i cannt feel any bumps with my elbow on it but if i run my hand across i can feel it alittle uneven where it was cracked. its not to bad but ill eventualy pull it off and smooth off the top.


and ya with some black with red stitching might look pretty nice....

tho oddly enough 1 of the kits doesnt have the cone tip at the end... not sure if that will be a issue or not. but the other 2 kits do.

also there wiring blows kinda. on one side the wiring has a harness to plug into the stock wiring which is a plus, BUT for the power going into the ballasts well on the 4 wires 3 of them are male terminals and only 1 is female..... so i have to cut 2 of the wires to crimp them together since a male and a male besides gay wont fit together.LOL

but i guess i got what i paid for..... i only paid just under 200bucks for all 3 bixenon kits. i bought 3 so i can do both of my civics and the 3rd for a backup just incase i ever have any problems then i have a extra kit just in my closet to quickly fix the problem.
well i gotta go test out one side and then help my dad work on the motor home. afterwards ill try to instal them on the 96dx. hopefully as is good......
