you can probably shoot some rattle can bed liner on this tray to further make it leak resistant.

Spray on bed liner would be a good addition to that tray, I may just look into that.

By the way, the insert I made worked AMAZINGLY!!! I put a stronger transmission in my Supra this past weekend, and filled the trunk of the Civic up with a transmission, driveshaft, flywheel and clutch assembly, tools, and still kept the fluids on the left. This thing is my truck untill I get my real truck done, haha...

Yesterday and this morning I did the power window and lock conversion on the car, I LOVE power windows, especially in my daily driver. It went well, I got the power door inserts, recovered them with a slightly lighter factory style fabric, then installed them onto my door panels. Since I had my amp running the speakers the factory speaker wires in the door harness were not going to cut it, so I had some spare pins from eastern beaver that fit the connector perfectly. So everything is still plug and play! Next I think I'm going to recover the center arm rest so it matches the door inserts and then the rear deck lid where the rear speakers mount.

Just got a DC Sports 1 peice 4-1 header. Turns out the ebay header I bought was only a limited run and the seller will not make replacement parts (gaskets) or new test pipes.... and the gaskets are huge, like 3"dia. so they aren't off the shelf pieces...
:x
I was surprised the DC header came with a 02 extension harness for the factory 02 sensor since there is no bung where the factory one would normally go. But, I'm going to weld one on so I can still run my wideband sensor. After I get the bung welded on I'm going to wrap the hell out of the header with the wrap I bought, then get a new cat and test pipe.

I have noticed on hard stops the brakes feel spongy, I think when I has breaking in the engine doing hard decels I may have hurt the brakes some how, so I'm going to flush it again and put the EBC Green Stuff break pads I ordered on. This is the first time I have used them but from what I hear they are good.

Also picked out a paint for the car, a Honda black metallic that in certain lights will have a blue hue to it. My painter suggested it and I really like it, so were going to start setting up for paint in the next few weeks.

- Sun Jun 23, 2013 8:54 pm #333347 Thanks, yes its out there. But ive been wanting to try it. The way I was looking at it is like this, if I did a black plasti dip it would just look like a pos civic with a primer black paint job, I really dont like this body style civic in primer black, satin maybe. And the other colors out there just didnt speak to me like this one did.
