Trim and Wipers

This is how busted my original RT4WD moldings were. 

 

And I was missing this piece all together...

When I took the old moldings off, I found that the previous owner used roofing tar and sheetrock screws to try and hold the busted moldings on... fun.

 I posted a Wanted ad on HondaCivicWagon.com and unlimited02 got back to me pretty quickly.  He sent me out a complete set of RT4WD moldings that look really nice.  They are in great shape for their age and the decals look good too.  Pretty easy install!

 

My wipers were all oxidized and most of the paint faded off.  I got a can of Rustoleum Pro Flat Black and they fixed right up.

Busted

I got all the coilovers installed except the driverside rear. I was having a hard time getting the lock nut off the top of the shock sleeve. All the others came off fine, but this one was pretty stubborn.

By the time I got it going, the allen head was beginning to strip out. So I had to drill the allen head out with a power drill. I knew the shock was pretty much trash at this point, but I wanted to salvage the top hat.

I ordered just one shock from O'Riely's but it won't be here until Tuesday, so the car is sitting on jacks stands until then... :(




I have a feeling the rears are going to be dropped pretty significantly... look how much space there is between the top hat and spring still!

Halfway Low

I got the front lowered today. It went pretty easy once I got the forks off. I'm not dropping it too much, just enough to get a little tire tuck, ya know help out the stance a little. It's mostly visible if you notice the fender gap.

Finally Some Style

I picked up some Skunk2 coilovers from EFParts.com. Great deal on em, and should help out the stance on the wagon pretty nicely. Maybe I'll put em on this weekend.


I also picked up some Side Markers, a Center Console from an EF, Yellow JDM foglights with the stock switch and some replacements for my busted widow sills.
