because pseudo quasi crushes are just not good enough
There are several ways of doing this, there is no one method fits all as everyone's tastes are different.
I'm going with some 3M window weld. It has what I believe to be the right amount of hardness for the results I want. A little more rigid than stock, but not jarring the fillings out of your teeth.
The top tabs of my gauge bezel were completely destroyed. I picked up some marine grade epoxy from the Home Depot and filled the broken out bits in. Then drilled some new holes. It's working great.
You can use some tape or foil as a backing for the epoxy while it sets. The marine grade takes about 24 hours to fully cure. Also it's very hard to tool then, so maybe carve out any excess when it's not fully cured. Either way, fixed the rattling thing. I'll update if anything changes.
Do you know when your fuel filter was changed last? If the answer is no, change the damn thing.
I should have done this as soon as I bought the wagon, but check this out…
Grosssssss!
That's what came out of the filter.
If you're familiar with Works Bell, you know they make some fun car parts. I picked myself up a Rapfix II quick release for my car.
All right, so you’re looking at getting your windows tinted. Maybe you’re concerned about how dark you can go, maybe you want some crazy chrome reflective stuff. Maybe you’re thinking about blocking heat. One thing you might not be thinking about is your rear defogger.
Well, you should…
Photo dumping for now, nothing to write up yet.
So your plastic lenses are hazy and you want to clean them up. Plastic polish helps, but you shoulda really look at wet sanding. You can get pretty good results by hand, so you don’t need an expensive buffer. It’s worth the extra bit of time and money though.
For those of us of the more forgetful nature, or used to automatic headlights in the fancier cars, here’s a super simple headlight buzzer mod. There is a tool less way to do it that involves wrapping wires around fuses, but that can screw up the socket and I’d rather just have an actual module rather than a ghetto fix.
All right, so let me start this with the old adage, measure twice, cut once. It’s not that bad but I lined up with the wrong edge of the tape and got the marker 2 inches too high.
I’m not a huge fan of the color of the gauges in the civic but I can’t stand those after market conversions where you end up with something that looks completely out of place at best and at worst like you feel Vatozone is the end all be all of automotive.
