Quality work as usual. Dude, you should make a dedicated build thread. I would follow. I like when folks do out of the ordinary stuff. And it's always cool when it turns out as good as your shiz has been.

Thanks guys! I might tackle the door panel and some other pieces today. I actually do have a build thread, but I haven’t posted much in it. I might update it with a bunch of photos just showing what I did. Appreciate your support guys and let me know if it is ever looking rice. Trying to make this genuinely look good so hopefully I’m doing that right so far.

Okay so I finished the passenger door panel and both pillars. Excuse the mess in my car. Thoughts?

Holy smokes. Looks great man. Did you purposely leave the handle area as an accent? Looks odd, but appealing at the same time. Kinda ties it to the glove compartment.

Nope, I got lazy lol I didn't want to bother disconnecting the door handles and frankly I don't know how. I just didn't want to be bothered with it. The pop out plate I can do anytime, but ran out of paint. Putting the plastic leather in the door was a pain today, but I got it better than the last one so that's good. Thanks man, glad you like it.

Matches really well with the leather. Will the lower glove box area be done next?

Thanks, I thought the black leather would be too much, but I feel like it ties in nicely. Eventually yes and I think I will go back and clear coat the pieces that I have done to get the best durability out of it. I can do the glove box and the pieces on the outer sides of the center console, but the gray trim in between the glove box on the sides I am unsure of how that screwed down. What are you thinking of this so far Webby?

I’m digging the progress. I wonder how it’ll hold up against scratches long term, but I guess any part could easily be sprayed again.
Great progress @Verzerrung I also plan on blacking out all silver interior trim pieces on day.
Does anyone know anything about HFP suspension on an automatic 2014 civic? Im at 80k and would like to have the smallest drop possible. I plan on getting the 16 to 14mm washer adapters for the knuckles. One day when the HFP suspension fails, I'll probably just replace it with truhart si shocks /struts (but will use the same washer adapters and hfp springs) since the cost of sourcing just the hfp shocks / struts will probably be the same as buying the entire kit again. Is this the right logic? Would the ride height of the HFP suspension kit be the same as the Truhart / HFP spring combo? Thanks!

Didn't really do anything to my car, but was wondering if this would fit my car? https://www.ebay.com/itm/2012-2015-...721915?hash=item3b5053877b:g:fmwAAOSwgMpfic1n
If so, that is what I'll be doing.

That looks like the right item to me -- I'd invest in some extra clips for sure, though.

Yeah definitely been meaning to pick up some of those for the trunk and engine too. lol My car didn't come with the trunk piece, unless I'm blind and do have it, but pretty sure I don't. Does anyone know if there is a better H11 yellow led aside from the Nokya hyper yellows? Something that is a true deep yellow.
And does anyone know if this is exactly what I need to do the remote start for my car or if I need more?
