I use the Mother's cone polisher, but nothing is better than Mother's polish and gun cleaning patches. Like using little diapers.
I so love the look of polished aluminum, even tho it takes dedication. I have some Sharkhide coming to test out.
I bought some 3M Dual Lock because it claims to hold 10lbs per foot. Stuck 3 2" pieces on to see if it would hold stuff together for fitting.
Seems to work quite well.
Now I can trim the excess I added for safety.
For final attachment I'll be using this.
Here's some pics so I /we can see if it's even worth doing. My end product vision has developed a bit and I'm enjoying this.
I got revved by a new Camaro. I'm used to older Mustangs doing it. I think I need a paddle board to hold up It's a CIVIC
or maybe just show them this (after running errands in town. it was at 38)
That LED brake light looks really good, first time I see this done on the ilx I think
I didn't like the pretendo vent so I removed it and bought an Amazon diffuser to put in it's place. I wanted to draw a little more attention to it so added a brake light.
All custom. Yeah, I'm an attention whore
I'm using Oznium bright white s/s LED bolts for the brake light and 3M lens material. Posting this up for DIYers, besides, it keeps my mind occupied in this most bazar time.
The lens is sticky backed so I put 2 pieces together and sanded the inside with 600 grit to frost it.
The lens is captured, not glued in.
I used acetone to attach the capture and was a little sloppy. The inside will be getting white reflective tape after it's painted to improve light output.
The lights are waterproof marine grade so I won't have a problem in my shorts (pun intended).
Stay healthy y'all.
oof...
spinal cord injury is no joke.
what was affected? I'm assuming you aren't paralyzed?
I have a close friend that is a quad from an accident in 2001.

I broke a lamina off with a fall in 1972 in the military. It floated around until having it removed in 2013. It tore up a lot. My junk quit working 20 years ago, from my waist down I feel like I'm on fire, and when I walk it feels like I'm walking on gravel, sharps an all, but I'm still walking, thank You LORD. I'm too stupid to lay down and die, I'm waiting for the purge.
Wow, man...
I wouldn't have guessed you were old enough to have had something happen in 1972.
I'm guessing you do have a "bad motherfucker" wallet then?
Just too late for Vietnam, thankfully but thank you for your service.
I'll check it out at home...the burning...my buddy has that...it was a drunk driving thing with him...the night
I got the call I thought he was dead so I was grateful to watch him come back...he has hands but no fingers
and nips down is done as well. He was always the strong silent lady killer...it was odd to see him have to sharpen
tools other than muscles...he became a web master and artist and chess player. Love the guy like a brother so I
feel a certain kinship to anyone else that suffers any variation of the pain he's been through.
Keep on keepin on, man...you're from a generation where laying down and dying wasn't really an option...and for that
the world is grateful.

The ex burnt the wallet, but the uncle does take care of me well. Some of the world may be grateful, some say OK Boomer.
I probably would have been better off had I not raced a few years in open class veteran off road Grand Prix with my highly twisted RM465 Zuke. Qualified for stadium races several times, but where's the fun in that?
Didn't feel like rolling around on the floor today so I did some wires.
Thought I'd update.
Here's the front side of the belly pan and yes covered complete underside of trunk with floor and tunnel insulation.
Got a box of Noico Red insulation from Amazon to do the inside. Not the quietest, but really light weight. Covered under the back seat, wheel housings, trunk floor to the spare, under side of spare cover, and inner fenders. Added a 3rd brake light flasher when tapping in for lower brake light. More to do but had to take a break, this broken old man stuff, you know?
In case anyone wants to add the 3rd brake light flasher, the wires T off in the driver side C pillar, behind the airbag. It's tight but accessible.
I used sta-kons there rather than the solder+seals. I didn't want to chance heat there. Sorry, no pictures.
I went for a drive today. It's so sad that the covid has given German car drivers a bobble head, I mean, they can't be checking out my top shelf Civic that hard
Final fitting. I put packing tape on the lower garnish to prevent bonding until after I paint and using same tape to hold shape. This is the easy sand bumper repair.
