Your plates are nice. Ours look like a four year old designed them. I run a veteran's plate to get a little better design.Finally got my plates!
Could have been the hatch glass. I sold a Kuat rack, so that should cover it. Sucks that was my mod kitty. The dent should come out via dentless & the chip should be easy to spray.
I hadn't owned a Japanese car in years before getting my ITS, and one of the first things I noticed coming from BMWs is how dreadfully soft the Honda paint is. If I look at it sideways it'll chip!
Yep, this is my 5th in the Honda family & it's very delicate paint. This was a hard strike, I expected real damage. Our bimmers have been hit with boulders & just needed a damp cloth afterwards.
Just plug and play for the woofer?I decided it was time to add a bit more oomph to the sound system. I don't recall where now but I saw someone did a frequency curve test and showed the low end had a lot of bass. I don't know how they did their test, but that is certainly not the case in my car. My sub gets totally lost in every situation other than idling, and mids seem to be really bright. I love mids, but I like my hearing too. For reference, I've tried every setting under the sun, and turning off dts neural, dolby, etc while using lossless audio. The stock system is okay and I'd call it mid-tier, but nothing to write home about. The fender in my gti blew the els away, and even the bose in our audi is better... And it's a bose
I followed another thread I saw where they tested the Rockford 8",so I bought one and gave it a go. For 170$, ripping up an old pillow, and a bit of kilmat in strategic locations it really cleaned up the bass. Post Malone doesn't sound washed out anymore! I listen to a variety of music, and classic rock has really started to shine now. I don't like "too clean" of a sound for classic rock, because it was always intended to be heard on buzzier speakers so the middle of the road tweeters and mids in the els do a good job there. There's room for an amp by the box, so down the road I may add an inline high feed mono to triple the power output, but that may be overkill.
The other thing I did was place kilmat behind the rear plastic trim at the lower hatch area. I did sound deadening on the walls there on the metal but it always bothered me how cheap and hollow that plastic was. Some kilmat there makes a huge difference in feel, and it no longer echoes when you tap on it. It feels a lot more premium now... A lot.
For the most part.
Yeah they just layer it on way too thick and the clear is garbage... Even Porsche paint is better, and generally their paint is crap.
Yes, I got the gunmetal and did some.arts and crafts on the inscribed pattern.
I've dipped them in melted wax gently and etched out the letters with a toothpick. Then spray primer, paint, clear, cook wax off. Tedious, but it works.
