Reddit mentions: The best automotive moldings

$83.94 IPF housings
$20.98 Hella H4 55/100W
$27.34 Putco harness
$14.56 Backup relays

$146.82 for a sharp cutoff and much more light on the road, and an incredible high beam, delivered in two days if you have an Amazon Prime membership. I bet you use high beams a lot now, but you'll probably rarely feel the need to use them on the road with this setup.

$147.99 for a 50 inch light bar. Even though the headlights offer a lot of light, having extra flood would be great when off road. I don't actually have this yet, but I plan on buying it as a reward for getting some work done on my XJ. Mine is still new to me, and I haven't yet had the time to earn it yet.

Less than $300 and two days for an incredible amount of light output.

If I don't buy that light bar, it's because I'm getting a Cree light bar with XP/XT or XM emitters that I'll be upgrading...I'm on the hunt for a light bar that uses XTE emitters like this light because output can greatly be increased by swapping in XP-L's, and more than doubled if power can be increased. That mod is more of a hobbyist thing than an attempt to save money, and not all of them would be done anyway since it'd sacrifice some throw for flood.

Eyelids are from Amazon

Tail lights from here, but you can get from multiple sites. I have the Helix ones but they also sell the Ed reps. They are pretty much the same. It's the same vendor.

Nice yah I like the Mudflaps plus it helps keep the sides clean.

I've replaced mine at least 3 times. Captured the piece last time and glued it on with silicone and it's lasted longer than any of my other ones. I got mine from Amazon, around $30 for the whole corner piece IIRC. Super easy to install just snaps on and off.

​

Edit for link : Amazon

I got it from Amazon via a Toyota Dealership in Florida. Install was easy in a sense that you're just sticking these to the door. The hard part is lining it up so that it sits perfectly flush with the bottom of the door since you only get one shot at it. So you gotta practice lining it up several times before actually peeling the adhesive and sticking it to the door.

Ahh ok, I think these are the parts you need:

72410-SF1-003 Right

72450-SF1-003 Left

None of the Honda parts sites seem to carry them, due to the fact they are discontinued. But, Amazon technically lists them on their site and are available for purchase. Says "ships in 1-3 months" which usually means they don't actually have them in stock, nor can they get them. But hey, it's worth a shot if you really need them.

You may actually be able to find some pre-built projector housings for yours. I looked and looked and looked, and the only pre-built projector housings I could find for the Vue were for year models 07 and up. Mine's an 03.

So I had to build mine. And the parts I used were pretty cheap so you might save money just building your own anyways.

Here's the parts I used

Nilight 2.5" Mini HID Bixenon Projector Lens

2x 23inch Dual Color White-Amber Switchback Headlight LED Tube Strip Light DRL Daytime Running Light & Turn Signal Lamp For Audi-Style Headlight

RetroRubber OEM Grade Butyl Headlight Sealant, Black

Everbrightt 1-Pair White 70MM 60SMD COB LED Headlight Angel Eyes Bulb Halo Ring Lamp Light With Housing

2pcs 12V HID Xenon AC Car Ballast 55W HID Xenon Bulbs Lamp For Auto Headlights For H1/3/4/7/8/9/10/11 9005 9006

HID-Warehouse HID Xenon Replacement Bulbs - H1 8000K - Medium Blue (1 Pair)

The paint I used was just a can of Rustoleum semi gloss black I got at Walmart for a few bucks.

I also purchased a separate set of headlights to do all this with, as this was my first time. I wanted to be able to take as much time as I needed with it. I can also easily switch back to stock at any time for whatever reason. I would suggest you do the same, if you're planning on building them.

To get them apart, I preheated our kitchen oven to 220 degrees. I lined an old baking pan with a wet towel and set the headlight on it, then put it in the oven for 10 minutes. This will soften the sealant enough so that you can pry the light housing apart.

Then when you're done with all of your modifications, remove as much of the old sealant you can and then line the edges of the housing with the new sealant. Heat it up like before and compress it back together.

So, I've ran into this problem with pretty much everything on the market. My solution was 3M Automotive double sided tape. This stuff will stick to anything!

Original receiver sucks, I got this which allows for more features (like syncing to music) and can be controlled with my phone.

Original backing tape wasn’t the strongest, so I used that to stick it on.

Rockauto probably has it cheaper, but every part you'll need other than bumper guard squeezies.

Yeah, I didn't want to do anything too drastic, just give the car a more luxury feel to it without it being obvious to the average bystander I modded it.

All from Amazon. About 550CAD$ worth.

You can purchase 3m VHB tape from any automotive shop like Autozone or Oreilly's. Or you can purchase online Amazon or eBay.

Thanks! They are from EAG

I would contact their CS team and see what they say.

I like using adhesive for fans too. 3M makes a high strength adhesive tape used for attaching trim on cars. http://smile.amazon.com/3M-03614-Scotch-Mount-Molding-Tape/dp/B002JOVUO0
5 foot should be plenty, but it's really not that much more to buy 15 feet. Just some small squares on the corner and they won't come off without some serious pulling.

I got the visors from amazon here

As for the black under the door handles, I stole that idea from azxtrek and had them done when I got everything else wrapped. I found these scratch cover guards that might also be worth a try. I plan on buying them when the wrap starts peeling

This is the stuff used in GoPro mounts and you can find it at any auto parts store or Home Depot - maybe even Wal-Mart.
It held my GoPro onto the side of my bike doing 180 down the back straight of COTA so I would think it'll hold some LED strips on, plus it doesn't leave a nasty residue when you remove it with some rubbing alcohol and dental floss.

Hey thanks man!

Here’s the link for the eyelids: https://www.amazon.com/etopmia-Black-Headlights-Eyebrow-Eyelids/dp/B01DZK8YLS

And as for what I’m lowered on, I just have the APR Rolls Control springs installed.

If you've got a 2000-2005 Impala, the job is the same as the Monte Carlo for all intents and purposes. I've done the job before (actually was replacing the pulse board, but same process) and it's not too bad as these things go.

One thing you might want to do while you're in there is to replace the cabin air filter and get this updated shield to keep water from leaking into the passenger floor board.

Washed car, used rubbing alcohol on the area the trim was going on and used a hairdryer to heat up 3M adhesive attached to trim piexes before applying.

This, it's like tape. www.amazon.com/3M-03614-Scotch-Mount-Molding-Tape/dp/B002JOVUO0/ref=pd_sim_263_1open_in_new

If it's the touchless kind then yeah. I used this 3M adhesive to install them and it's insanely strong.

The car washes with big brushes would probably scratch the hell out of them just like they do to your paint. You really shouldn't use those things.

I found this body cladding that might work but I'm not sure how easy it would be to paint the gold color to match the fenders? Also looks like it might not be compatible with the OEM rear bumper pieces that wrap around the edge of the rear corner?

I used the L bracket method along with some automotive body molding mounting tape. With the tape alone I was unable to pull the tables back apart.

Edit: Figured I should give links to the tape and brackets I used.

Tape

Brackets

You can get either of them at pretty much any hardware store, or auto parts store. Although they will be a bit more expensive.

Specifically either of these should work fine:

http://www.amazon.com/3M-03614-Scotch-Mount-Molding-Tape/dp/B002JOVUO0/

Walmart usually carries both and any auto parts store too.

Looks like this. https://www.amazon.com/3M-03614-Scotch-Mount-Molding-Tape/dp/B002JOVUO0

Can be bought at AutoZone too. Has a red backing but the tape is black

$17 Amazon special.

I noticed this one is lifting a bit on the inside, I may need to redo them.

My first thought (although a somewhat off-label use) would be 3m VHB trim and molding tape like this: https://www.amazon.com/3M-3614-15/dp/B002JOVUO0. As long as both surfaces are perfectly clean (as in wipe them down with alcohol before applying), I'd be shocked if it didn't hold up as least as well as whatever the holder came with. It's fairly ridiculous stuff.

I'd go with something like that being somewhat flexible over an epoxy of any sort, the flexibility might help it last longer. I would bet that 3M 5200 would work as well (it's a marine adhesive sealant) but it'd be more of a PITA to work with than the VHB tape.

3M body moulding adhesive. Just plan on setting aside plenty of time if you ever want to remove the lightstrip.

This is the one I got from Amazon. Not sure how the OEM spoiler is shaped on the underside as mine is a different aftermarket spoiler, but this size should work for you. There are videos on YouTube you can check out for prepping and tips on applying it.

It's not the seals... I had a car that had this happen to. It was late last night I I didn't want to post and link to pictures.

First you would remove the plastic covering the a pillar on the inside like this

If you remove this it will look like this, you might have to scroll to see the roof. So near the front of the car you'll run a water through this channel. And wait for it to leak. Once it does you'll know where about the leak is at.

Run the water hose slow and start at the windshield and work you way back waiting about 2 minutes before moving the water hose back.

I searched for windshield weatherstrip and found this part.

It's also on Amazon

See this video at 3min 17sec where they remove it from the bottom

I believe the noise is created when the reverse lockout ring makes contact with the inside of the shift knob. I took off my shift knob and placed some foam tape on the inside of it to absorb the vibration and I have no more noise.

This is what I used.

Oh, that thing. Use some 3M automotive trim tape to stick it back on. Glue is not going to work well and make a mess of your frame.
