Mikey's 2001 Sedan EX

[Mikey]

I posted in DesiKid's thread, but I just got some Grom Audio Bluetooth unit that plugs into the back of the OEM radio. Amazing sound quality and retains all stock button functions for spotify.

Would you guys go HIDs or LEDs now?

I found my Bluetooth cassette so I’m ticking that now. And not a moment too soon as my 24/7 Christmas music channel is about to drop

Standard housings, I’d say either. LEDs are probably “better” on the eyes but both suck for oncoming drivers. Try to find a good set of retros and go LED.

UPDATES: …….. picked up new(used) washer nozzles at a JY. Better than the old ones but still poopy. Ordered a replacement kit with hoses and whatnot. We’ll see how that goes.

Keep/still getting a CEL for random misfire(s). Car doesn’t lag or run any different. Probably just needs plugs and coils. I’ll do them eventually

Found a wingless trunk at the JY but didn’t have a small enough socket to remove the tail lights. As I started attempting to remove it I realized it’s going to be a lot more involved than I thought. A lot more parts to remove and fish out and fish in than I thought. May go back next week or week after.

Getting what sounds like a suspension noise. Almost the same noise my coupe was making. Wondering if it’s shocks or some sort of joint/link/bushing…

Wingless trunk acquired.

Scratch that.

Wingless trunk INSTALLED
The clear is failing on it pretty bad so I wasn’t sure at first how I’d feel about it but I’ve gotten a couple of distant views of it in the sunlight and I’m not even sorry. It looks SOO much better without the spoiler. I know that sounds blasphemous somehow but with the little rear window lip I have it looks loads better. Body gap is a *little* more than I’d like but I tested it and it’s gotten some rain testing and so far it doesn’t leak. It springs up with some speed but nothing too crazy.

Had to buy a socket for the third brake light as mine was gone for some reason. Got an LED bulb in there. Getting a weird lighting angle issue with it now but I can’t seem to find what’s causing it. Doesn’t effect functionality or outside visibility; it’s more of a me / inside the car thing so I may just leave it.

Next on my list (besides wheels, which I’m CONSTANTLY looking for) might be fogs or a retro. I’m dying for a set of fogs but I also kinda wanna hold out for a coupe bumper and then try and do 7G/TL fogs. I want a retro, or a set of black houses, cuz the ones I have now are garbage. Even with my HIDs visibility is crap.

Washer nozzle kit came. It’s not top tier Honda parts but it works for now.
