If you care about it, there is a thread on HT about wink mirrors. There is a pretty easy way to mount them while retaining your sun visors.

I can keep them if I really wanted, but it would be pointless to have them since they would only come down so far before hitting the mirror. Also, after owning this one civic for the past 3 years (I have own Civics for the past 8 years total), I think I have used them about twice.

Completely forgot to toss a picture up of the HCF decal on the rear windshield. I'll try and do that tonight.

It might work. I would rather just re-wrap the spare head liner I have in the garage in some pattern than trying to find a plug that would somewhat match the holes and then (gulp....) glue them in.

I have to remove all of the interior panels again to re-paint them sooner or later (I rushed it last time), and I also have to re-wrap the sun roof privacy cover thingy. In order to re-install it, the sun roof has to come out. Thus meaning the head liner is coming out.

^^ probably going to be a Thomas the Train thing. Still undecided if the door panels/center console will be done as well. Also, I have not figured out an exact pattern or fabric yet either. Still searching.

Got some butyl tape in the mail. I will be using it as a tail light gasket. For some reason, the inner tail lights do not sit correctly unless I take the gasket off. Hopefully this should allow the tail light to sit flush, while preventing water from leaking past when it rains etc.

Also, I went to Jo-Anns to search for some Thomas the Train fabric, but couldnt find anything I liked. Searched it up on ebay and found this:

The headliner/door panels/center console would look pretty legit IMO in this fabric. Any thoughts everyone?

Edit: I don't think I had mentioned this yet, but I finally went ahead and ordered up some HIDs from DDM Tuning on Wed (5/19). Grabbed the 35w 5k Hi/Lo set. Now, the wait begins! haha

I will be picking up at least 3 yards. I used about 2 yards on the headliner/doors/center console last time. I added an extra yard since I did not re-wrap the sun roof privacy cover thing last time.
