Yes they did fit a 15" tube under there, u want pics of the tube? They said they could do it and they did. And they threw some 10" in the rear seats. I love it sooo much.

hey you don't drive with those on do u?? or DO you?? the box in the picture suggests you buff with a 10" orbital buffer but isn't 10" a bit big when you need to buff the little crevices?? like the small painted area around the moonroof, the pillars supporting the windshield, etc. how do ya get around that? or maybe i'm just a weakling.

It's one of the few MODS I find to be somewhat ricey. It's really ricey when you can see the bulbs, but you cant see them or the switches. It adds alot of life to the interior though. ALOT.

Enginyr - you should do it....the blue would match your exterior well, would look good.

it's get really ricey if it were clearly visible from outside the car. hate seeing these civics leave the lights on when parked just for show. keeping it inside is pretty nice though

At least you don't have winshield wiper spray nozzles that light up...
You don't have those, right...tell me you don't...God, he better not have them!!

It looks pretty good...were they custom pieces or the pre-fabbed?

I liked the Zymol, I've used it for a couple years. But I just tried the Zaino Brothers stuff and there was no comparison, it makes the pearl "POP" on a white car. Either way, it looks like you spent a ton of time on your car...it looks great!

BTW...thanks a lot enginyr, I can't stop the voice in my head...

"...rollin' in my 5 point O with the ragtop down so my hair can blow..." SHOOT ME NOW!!!

lol nope, no windshield washer LED nozzle things, ricey as hell. I wax and polish the car EVERY Friday, that may be a tad too much but that's how much I love it. I've been trying to get my hands on Zaino but can't find it anywhere. I won't do it online because I refuse to have a credit card. =]

I understand...I do a quick wipe down once or twice during the week and go all out on Saturday AM!

You're in luck with the credit card thing...they don't take them, LOL!! You have to send a check or call them (you will probably end up talking to one of the brothers!) and they may have a distributer near you. They are GREAT guys and are completely available if you have some questions regarding their stuff.

I'll start a new post with a link to their site.
