Here are a few other mods that I forgot to post.

I got a switch to control my footwell LEDs

I used an oznium scion switch (almost fits perfect. Some light sanding is needed to make it fit perfect) and 2 blue LED strips in the driver and passenger side, all from VLEDs.

I also have weathertech floor liners

Fsport shift ****

Carbon fiber roof spoiler from ebay. Ive had it for over 2 years and it still looks brand new, no yellowing

How did you get the **** to screw down so far? My OEM **** sits about an inch and a half higher than yours, and when I try to screw it down more it just won't go.

Everything looks good btw!

I just kept twisting mine and it went lower. I want to say try and put some more pressure on it, but I dont want you to risk breaking it

Thanks man, Im gonna have the sides installed before V2lab this weekend and hopefully get the brakes done before the end of the month

LED switch looks very flush and can't wait to see the sides. What you doing to the brakes? Apologies if I missed it in the thread.... Is that your Accord in the "gangsta" pic?

Yeah the switch was made for a scion tC so I think the dimensions are similar to the slot in the IS.

I'm doing the 350 brake upgrade, just waiting on the rotors (they're on back order)

And no it's not mine lol. That's a coworker of mine who I sold my concavos to. The black sedan accord that you see in some of my pics is a friend of mines, he's parting out tho

Nice. My daily driver is an Accord and I know that Mariano has a Honda too. Would almost be too weird if the three of us had Hondas for back ups.... Can't wait to see pics of the sides and the brake upgrade. Keep us posted!
