Do you have an LED strip over your licence plate? Are the lights white or blue?

No, I just replaced my license plate lights with LEDs bulbs , they are more of a white color. And the LEDs strips I have inside and out a blue. Here is a picture from this past Saturday night with them on. Still looks purple on camera lol
image.jpg I still haven't been able to get my spoiler installed lol the place I took it too that say they could do it , turned around and said they couldn't... So I'm still looking , Honda dealership said they could do everything but it'd cost me 160$ and I think I could find another place to do it much cheaper. I just want it done right the first time and I don't trust my drilling skills when it comes to making holes in my car
 
Well Honda wouldn't put on my spoiler since I didn't have templates for it... I will eventually get this thing put on. I would've thought Honda kept things like that on hand so they could do work like that. So now I'll be looking to get it done else where and getting templates to have it done.

Sometimes more strict dealerships get all cranky about modding cars a little, even with OEM stuff

When I had my dealer put on my hybrid spoiler the service manager kept whining while the tech was doing it 'this is taking too long this is too much time we need to get more priority cars in blah blah blah'

Theres a chance they maybe had the templates (mine did) and said no just cause they didn't wanna encourage altering the cars from stock

Not sure , they were going to charge me 160$ which I thought was kind of high just to install a spoiler but figured I'd see about getting it done right since it is the Honda dealership lol but they wouldn't do it

Well I setup an appointment so they'd know and they said they could do it. But when I went to have it done they said they couldn't, this is the second place that's done that. The place I went before I made 3 trips up there just to find out they couldn't do it although they said they could... Its just disappointing to have something and can't put it on lol I'll get it done at some point. Meanwhile I just ordered some side skits and about to order my front lip too
 
Dealership charges a whole lot for labour. They wanted to charge close to $200 for HFP side skirt install. Those were easy to do by myself in 2 hours or less plus I could install them right away instead of waiting for an appointment. No cutting or drilling was required so that was nice. But if you do end up installing the spoiler yourself measure 2 or 3 times before you attempt drilling. Just to be sure it's right!

Wow that's crazy, one reason I tend to stay away from them, overpriced. And Agreed , another reason I'm trying to find someone with more experience than me to do this since it'll require drilling in my car lol
 
Make sure the drill holes are painted properly so they are protected from rust starting at those spots. There must be a DIY Somewhere. Didn't College Hills Honda do a DIY how to install a spoiler?
 
That is quite the groove you have there in the center of your rotor.
