Re: Cliffsta's 1999 Sedan EX 4-Cylinder (56K) Debadged 6/24 pg.2

to be fair, the oem emblems are meant to stay on for the life of the car. youve seen the old ford vehicles with only " OR " and "FO D" left, right? they have to be sticky...

you think the debadge was hard...just thank god you didnt have factory pinstripes to remove wait a while and try and remove some more gunk. mine disappeared after some washes and being outside

Re: Cliffsta's 1999 Sedan EX 4-Cylinder (56K) BLACKHOUSINGS 7/1 Pg. 3

I had the weekend off, so I dove into the blackhousing DIY project. It took me pretty much all weekend. I started around a quarter after one on Saturday, worked on it until 9ish that night, got up and started painting at 10:15 Sunday morning, and I had the front fascia bolted back up around 6:15 this evening.

Just getting started

Mmmm smell good, don't they?

Ready to be painted

After painting

Ready for reinstallation

Damn, you did one helluva masking job on those corners, I like it.

Thanks, I thought the blackhousings look SO much better with the corners masked off. BUT... the passenger side didn't seal up, I have condensation and fogging... SOO looks like I'll be popping everything back apart, cooking it again, and glooping in ten pounds of some silicone.

Well, I snagged an SRI off Ebay, so here we go.

That junk is LOUD! I love it.

Also took some location pics, too, waiting on sis to upload.

Next up will be Centric rotors and Honda OEM pads, then Eibach Pro-Kit.

Re: Cliffsta's 1999 Sedan EX 4-Cylinder (56K) SRI + local pics Pg.3

Here are the location pics I snagged after a good wash and some tire shine.

Up at the college ( GO CATS )

That's right, I'm L33t^2

Up the street:

Probably my favorite one:

OK... I wanted some pics with other objects, to add contrast and depth... but the only thing around was a dumpster... and of course, it looks like the Honda is about to scrap with the dumpster...

"You wanna piece of me? Do ya?"

Re: Cliffsta's 1999 Sedan EX 4-Cylinder (56K) Centric Rotors and Pads Pg.3

Finally got around to doing the brakes... here you go.

Old and new:

Padwear much?

Carport generally looks like this MUA HA HA

I'm wrapping up the carpeting of my audio stuff and relocating the Pioneer amp to the trunk. Pics later this week.

Lookin' good!

Boy do I wish I had read your post before I did my brakes this weekend......I used Brembo blanks and attempted to paint the edges and "hat" just like the Centric rotors come from the factory. I can already tell where my paint job is lacking (changing to stock wheels for winter is going to do a number on the "hat"; when putting the wheels back this weekend and I already noticed issues). If only I had visited 6thgen before I started my brake work Saturday. If I had seen this post in time, I would not have gone through the hassle to attempt to paint the rotors myself and would have ordered a new set of rotors. Who knows...maybe I will come spring anyway...
