Re: Dean Sanchez's Build Thread

Lighting Upgrades, Retrofit Headlights, and Wood Floor for the trunk. Getting my front bumper and lip repainted next month for IFO Tucson. My civic has been doing well so far, just a couple more things to do to finish this build year.

Upgraded my interior bulb and license plate bulbs to LEDs.
Upgraded reverse light bulbs to a mini projector bulbs.
Switched the front turn signal bulb to a chrome bulb instead of amber.
Upgraded from standard HIDs to projectors with the TRS H1 kit.
Threw some black wood down in the truck and the last pic is a teaser for whats to come.

Wood flooring in the trunk...Flipping sweet! Is that an air tank I see?

Lights look great also. Doing the retro is so nice, one of my favorite upgrades I have done to my car.

Re: Dean Sanchez's Build Thread

Installed the front bags for now, will do the rears after Christmas. Here's some pics of the install. I still want to go a few mm lower to touch the rim lip and fender. Love the ride so far, way more comfy rolling around now and no need to avoid speed bumps or steep entrances. Last pic is a static vs bags comparison.

I love the switch location for sure. Personally I would have put the gauges in a pod, but I see why you put them in the glove box. Looks good sir.

I was thinking of a pod, but I figured I can hide them easily in the glove box lol and it took me a few weeks for going back and forth to finally decide to put the switches above the cup holders.

Maybe once more after I swap in a K, but this time I repainted to get rid of the wavy fenders and quarter panels from riding static. Next year I'm planning to repaint once more if need but I want to have the engine bay shaved and painted the same color as my car. I might do a mild wire tuck with the k to clean up the bay somewhat
