blah went for a drive tonight and while the visibility is vastly better, i am now noticing the washer nozzles sticking up that i couldnt see before and its really annoying lol. next up figuring out how to take those out. theyre not even connected to anything, just sitting in there to cover the holes up. i dont feel like wasting money at a body shop to have them patch and repaint the whole hood, esp one with all sorts of hail damage. maybe a diy is in order? like carefully cut some metal pieces and jb weld from the bottom? and touchup paint on top? i have a feeling it would look bad...

lol, being a little too picky don't you think? :P What about colour matching them? Or would that still not look good enough? OR you could take them out and carbon wrap your hood, right over them lol.

i used the rain-X bow style wipers in the past and i was very unsatisfied they only lasted a month then started leaving streaks on the glass.

i already have the accord silver nozzles, its just that they stick out of the smooth hood and really stand out at night lol. maybe fill them and put a nice decal over the hood? altho that would be distracting too unless its a solid color. im not too big of CF to be honest, or stickers. this is prolly something i will never spend money on. guess i could stop by a shop to get estimates.

im so mad the bomex mirrors didnt work out either. they stopped making em!

yea, I'm not a big fan of CF either. However, I have entertained the idea of white carbon fiber. However, I've never seen it so I have no idea what it would look like on our civic lol On a fiji blue civic is what I would like to see it on.

are the wipers on our cars a pain in the butt to change? never changed mine before.. last time they were done, like a year ago, the dude at the oil place did em. i know it's easy as cake on an eclipse, just push through and slide off. is it the same for civics?

 
Rep Power: 198

on my 05 sedan it's the j-hooks that just push and slide off. I changed to rain x wipers in about 45 seconds... and I love those wipers. lowlife9 I don't know if I have the "bow style" but I've had mine for about 10 months now and they still work like new. We'll see how they hold up during this winter though

Yea, its push and slide off, but some might have a clip, easier than changing a wheel out

installed new HAWK performance ceramic brake pads...bye bye hawk HPS pads!

also got my oem rotors resurfaced. so perrrrrrrrrrdy




and cleaned my new rims =]

 
Rep Power: 292

Hows the dust on those ceramics?
And braking noise?

Those rotors are gonna look like as they were in about a weeks time :P

 
Rep Power: 353

the bite is actually pretty hard. harder bite than the HPS i dare say...but there are too many factors involved (like resurfaced rotors, etc)


ive only just finished bedding in the pads. they are smoking right now. i will give a full review of these once i get a few hundred miles in them.
