Thank you bud! Didn't know such a thing existed!
No problem! jist a reminder, it's quite difficult to cut exactly right. Use a dremel and cut the top curve first, then cut the bottom. Ill post pics so you see what I'm talking about.

Re: Silver99's 1999 Accord Coupe i4 EX (56k)

Some news! I really liked the digital climate control from the V6. So, I snagged one and am going to replace the internals with an Arduino Microcontroller. That way, it'll work in a 4cyl, plus its programmable. My other reason is so when you hold the off and auto buttons, it will bring up a menu with options to preform other tasks, such as opening garage doors, etc. With it being programmable, I can add more features easily. Stay tuned for updates, just excited to try something new. :)

Sorry it took me so long, I had forgotten :shakehead:



First, you cut a piece of the diffuser. Second, you trace the OEM reflectors.



Next, cut and sand the top curve till it's perfect. Then epoxy it on.



Finally, with a dremel and a steady hand, go along the untrimmed edges and cut them as close as possible to the OEM plastic. Then sand until it is perfect.



Hope this helps :)
