I think I like it, now to match the other side

DaIll1

I left out an important step. Using 3M (I don't work for them, but trust them) 1/4" vinyl tape to create step for 3M 5952 VHB double stick tape to hold tight, but not stick out too far.




It's looking a lot like a how to

godfather2

your build has been fun to follow. good luck and thanks for sharing

DaIll1

Thank you. It's been fun. Next I'll be adding power to the RDX. Gotta keep the mind occupied

DaIll1

Thought I'd toss this in here. If you want to add the 3rd brake light flash, the best place to tap into the feed, without removing the headliner, is under the driver side C pillar cover.
This is also where I chose to tap for my diffuser brake light so it flashes too.




It is a little tight with the airbag system right there, but doable.

DaIll1

Just gotta say, Woomp! There it is.




Did a little tribute to Kobe with the Black Mamba.



After the paint cures a bit I will have the black wrapped in 3m carbon fiber to match.

A millennial told me my car is snazzy, but I'm not sure it still means the same thing as when my dad said it.

DaIll1

By the way, for the paint, I went to a local auto paint supply store and had them load up spray cans for me so I could use the correct paint code and a clear with catalyst. Spray bombs aren't as good as the Devilbis gun I used when I was a gun slinger, but my tools were stolen years ago and being in an apartment, I didn't want to go buy all that stuff for a one-time.

Here's a couple more

DaIll1

Adding these under skirt for turn indicator and puddle light.
Not using the funky tube they come with, but milling out some acrylic holders.

DaIll1

Not finished with wiring yet (not looking forward to under dash work). They are directly under side view mirrors.




Made me a new mask today

DaIll1

Got the puddle lights hooked up.

DaIll1

Wasn't well pleased with only the front doors having puddle lights, so I took it all apart and redid it with the same LEDs that I used for the diffuser brake light.

DaIll1

Also changed to a much brighter LED turn indicator light.

Took my winter beater out today. Woke up to 4" of snow and didn't want to take the ILL one out.

DaIll1

I'm out.
In mourning for the free world.

This threat is great, your supply of tools is doing you well lmao. I have a 2016 im deleting the chrome and waiting on my coils to come in. Already put wheels and a nice tint on it.

I want to bring mine to an exhaust shop to get a similar quad tipped look and eventually add a lip up front.

Any idea if the head unit is replaceable, or speakers upgradeable?

I also want to look into a skid plate. How’s ground clearance on your coils/how low did you go?

DaIll1

I went to 3 of the local exhaust shops in town and was so impressed with their work I bought a TIG machine and did my own.
The head unit is so embedded with car function I think it would be better to build a stand alone and leave the factory one alone, The only thing I've done with the factory ELS system is unplug the ANC device. With my exhaust I don't need their fake sounds pumped in.
I have not changed the ride height, the skirt extensions give it the illusion of being lowered.

DaIll1

Wrong kind of customizing.
A girl in the center lane decided she didn't need to be in the left turn lane to make a left turn, right into me.

DaIll1

She pushed me into the center divider and cracked the lips on both front wheels and nobody wants to polish the new wheels to match, so I'm having all 4 powder coated in bright gold

DaIll1

Got her back today.

DaIll1

My back degraded to the point it was very painful getting in and nearly impossible to get out, so yesterday I sold her. I'm sad and will miss so much.

E92Vancouver

To the OP. Sick mods bruh!

DaIll1

Thanks it was a marvelous journey and I miss her way lots. The RDX fits better with my broke a$$ body, but it's not the same feeling and I really miss the head spins.

Thinking back, I wish I would have gone with the Volk Magnesium Blue rather than the gold for the wheels. I wish that the insurance company would have payed to have the 2 damaged wheels polished to match what they were before. Still missing driving this car, someone got a nice custom car.
