Owner of a Brand New 2015 Civic DBP, need mod advice!

[CivicJosh]

Got those lights installed, both the floor LEDs and the map/dome lights. Here's a pic of just the floor LEDs on:

I love them! Sound mode isn't working thought so they're sending me a replacement control box.

I also installed the window visors, which look really great. The EZ-lip is in progress, I just need to get the side skirts on. The front and back look amazing though. For the sides, I think I need to sand underneath to get a smoother surface?

Will post more pics as more stuff gets installed. DBP wing should go on Monday!

What are you thinking of sanding....a painted surface? Anything painted will end up rusting if you sand it down.

No, I've changed my mind on that. I actually noticed today that the front and rear lips were beginning to peel... So I just slipped a little gorilla glue under there! Problem fixed!

I'm thinking maybe I should somehow do the same on the sides? Any tips?

Thanks

Just clean the surface with rubbing alcohol prior to sticking it on.

Really? Cuz it's quite rough under those sides, not polished at all. Having seen the lip start to peel off the completely polished surfaces under the front and back, I think I will definitely need to use some gorilla glue for the sides. I'm just not sure how to keep it on there while the glue dries...

Are the side skirts abs plastic, or what side skirts did you buy? Do they have 3m foam double sided tape on them?

They are foam rubber material, and yes they have adhesive backing. They're from eBay under the name Quick Lip.

you're using the lip material (garage door foam) to wrap under the sides of the car? What I'm seeing on ebay doesn't look like 3m foam tape.

this is what you want to secure items to the car... emblems, body kits, etc

The adhesive on the back of this thing definitely isn't 3M though. The one you linked seems pretty damn good, and they claim it works on unpainted surfaces too, so I'll give it a go.

I really do the like the way the front looks with the thing on there, I'll take pictures when it's nice out!

Thanks!

Alright, everything is done! For the most part. I might still apply some of that headlight to it film to the taillights. But I decided against the carbon fiber wrap on the chrome parts, just seems like a little too much.

I'll have to post pictures of the interior led strips at night, because I put one in the grille and it looks badass!

Thanks everyone,
-Josh

I did forget to mention that I also had these really cool blue "wheel rim protectors" on, but they fell off. I might try to reapply them with some better adhesive. Any recommendations?

And is there any other mod I should do at this point?

Thanks,
-Josh
