Diy Adding Vinyal And Painting Trim Pieces OK AFTER POSTING MY PICS OF MY INTERIOR DONE BY MY HOMEGIRL DAWN (DAWN01CIV) AND MYSELF (04TRINICIVIC) I GOT ALOT OF PEOPLE ASKIN ME TO DO A DIY SOOOOOOOOO I DECIDED TO ADD ONE. ITS VERY SIMPLE TO DO. IT ALSO TAKES SOME TIME AND VERY LITTLE SKILL. I SAY IF YOUR DOING A SEDAN YOU CAN HAVE EVERYTHING DONE IN ABOUT 3HRS OR SO. THE FOLLOWING WAS DONE ON MY 04 DX SEDAN SO THE DIY IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT IF YOU HAVE A LX OR EX. READY? HERE WE GO.
TOOLS NEEDED:
1. DRILL WITH A PHILIPS HEAD BIT OR A PHILIPS HEAD SCREWDRIVER
2. SOMETHING ABLE TO GET BEHIND DOOR PANELS TO POP THEM OFF (PANEL POPER A+)
3. FLAT HEAD SCREWDRIVER
4. CLOTH
5. A HOOK PICK FOR DX OWNERS.
6. 2 PLASTERING KNIFES (THIN AND THICK BLADES)
MATERIALS NEEDED
1. VINYAL (I CHOOSE BLACK) BUT WHATEVER COLOR YOU WANT
2. BLACK AUTOMOTIVE INTERIOR PAINT
3. PLASTIK- KOTE AUTOMOTIVE INTERIOR PAINT(#5304) IT'S THE ONLY PAINT THAT COMES CLOSE TO HONDA SILVER. YOU CAN ALSO CHOOSE WHATEVER COLOR YOU WANT.
4. AUTOMOTIVE PLASTIC PRIMER (NOT NEEDED BUT SOME PEOPLE USE IT)
5. A CAN OF SELF ADHEASIVE SPRAY GLUE
SOME OF THE FOLLOWING PICS WERE TAKEN FROM YOUR FELLOW 7THGENERS DIY'S.
OK HERE WE GO ITS VERY SIMPLE.
1. CLICK ON THIS LINK IF YOU HAVE A COUPE http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=153830. IT SHOWS YOU HOW TO REMOVE THE RADIO HOUSING.
NOW IF YOU HAVE A 04 SEDAN AUTO LIKE ME THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING:
A. AROUND THE GEAR BOX ARE 2 PIECES OF PLASTIC POP THOSE OFF.

B. TAKE OUT THE 2 PHILIPS HEAD SCREWS HOLDING ON. TAKE THOSE OUT THEN PULL OFF THE CENTER CONSOLE MAKE SURE TO UNPLUG THE POWER OUTLET.
C. NOW LOOK UNDER THE RADIO HOUSING AND REMOVE THE 2 SCREWS.
D. REACH BEHIND RADID AND PUSH TOWARD YOU REMEMBER TO UNPLUG THE PLUGS FROM BEHIND THE RADIO HOUSING. DONT WORRY ABOUT LABLEING THEM THE WILL ONLY PLUG BACK INTO THEIR SLOTS.
2. NOW ONTO THE 2 VENTS THESE ARE VERRRRRRRRRRRRRY EASY THAT YOU DONT NEED PICS TO SEE HOW TO TAKE THEM OUT. PLACE THE FLATHEAD SCREWDRIVER WITH THE PIECE OF CLOTH TO THE BOTTOM OF THE VENTS AND POP THEM OUT. CAKE? GOOD..
3. LETS DO THE DOORS NOW...
A. TAKE THE FLATHEAD AND POP OFF THIS PIECE INSIDE THE DOOR HANDLE SO THAT YOU CAN SEE THESE 2 SCREWS.
THEN TAKE THEM OUT.
B. NOW STICK YOUR FINGERS AROUND THE SIDEVIEW MIRROR INTERIOR COVER AND PULL IT OFF LIKE SO.
C. AROUND DOOR HANDLE ARMREST THERE IS A PIECE THAT POPS OFF AND YOU SHOULD SEE 2 SCREWS TAKE THOSE OFF. {THIS PIC IS FROM THE COUPE}
D. NOW USE THE PANEL POPER TO REMOVE THE DOOR PANEL FROM THE DOOR.
YOU HAVE JUS STRIPPED YOUR DOORS AND DASH PIECES...... NOW ONTO REMOVING THE DOOR HANDLES, AND VINYAL ARMREST ALONG, WITH CLOTH INTERIOR SO WE CAN GET TO PAINTING.
(NO PICS FOR THE FOLLOWING SORRY I FORGOT TO TAKE EM)
4. LETS STRIP THE DOOR PANELS. (NO PICS SORRY I FORGOT TO TAKE EM)
A. FLIP THE PANEL OVER AND REMOVE THE 5 BRONZE SCREWS FROM BEHIND THE DOOR PANEL.
B. NOW LOOK UNDER THE ARM REST AND POP IT OUT BY THE CLIPS HOLDING IT IN.
C. NOW POP OFF THE ARM BARS FROM THE DOOR PANEL.
D. WITH ALL THAT DONE START TO PEAL OFF THE CLOTH FROM THE DOOR PANEL. START FROM THE BOTTOM AND REMEMBER YOU WILL BE USING THE CLOTH AS A PATTERN. YOU WILL BE USING IT TO TRACE OUT YOUR NEW VINYAL INTERIOR. START TO SCRAPE OFF THE REMAINING FUZZ ***** LEFT BY THE CLOTH. USE THE PLASTERING KNIFE AND YES I SAID *****
5. ONTO PAINTING THE PIECES. THE VENTS YOU CAN POP THEM OFF BY LOOKING AT THE SIDES AND PULLING THE TABS HOLDING THEM TOGETHER. THE RADIO IS SORTA DIFFERENT. REMOVE ALL THE SCREWS FROM BEHIND THE HOUSING LIKE SO
AND WHEN I SAY ALL THE SCREWS I MEAN ANY SCREW YOU SEE BEHIND THE RADIO HOUSING REMOVE. THEN REMOVE ALL PIECES OFF THE HOUSING UNTIL IT LOOKS NAKED SORTA LIKE THIS. 
6. WELL WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR AN INVITATION? START PAINTING YOUR PIECES WHATEVER COLOR YOU WANT.
7. WITH THE VINYAL HOPEFULLY YOU DIDNT RIP THE CLOTH. TRACE THEM, CUT THEM. USE THE SELF SPRAYING ADHEASIVE GLUE TO PUT ON THE VINYAL TO THE DOORS. THE THICK PLASTERING KNIFE COMES TO USE NOW. USE IT TO PUSH THE REMAINING VINYAL INTO THE CRACKS DONT FORGET TO PRESS DOWN ON THE VINYAL. THIS IS WHERE THE 2 EXTRA HRS COME INTO EFFECT. AFTER YOU ARE DONE PUT EVERYTHING BACK TOGETHER. AND YOU SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS.......HOPEFULLY
YOU ARE ALMOST DONE. NOW ONTO THE FINAL STEP WHICH ALOT OF PEOPLE WILL ENJOY.
THE LAST STEP TO THIS DIY WILL BE GRABBING A CAMERA AND TAKING PICS OF YOUR WORK.....LOOKS GOOD? I BET IT DOES SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR POST EM ON 7THGEN.....OH AND MAKE SURE U GRAB A COOOOOOOLD BREW AND ENJOY YOURSELF.
