Finally got rid of my stained OEM mirrors. They came like that from the dealer after having the car sitting out. I did not notice until the morning after purchase, by then it was too late "how ddi you clean them" :rolleyes:. Anyways, got the Mugen's on. Found out the mirror caps come off without taking the mirror off. Thank you @Milosdad

@RODSCIVIC looks good! Debating whether or not to install the last set I have on my car.

How did you do it?

I’ve got some Mugen mirrors I have been meaning to get on
It’s real easy. Just gently pull the mirror off, unplug the OEM Mirror, use a trim tool to take off the mirror cap and then plug in the harness, reinstall everything.

Follow this video



Follow this to take the mirror caps off. I found the other way to be too much of a Pain in the ass

Gave her a bath and tested out some new wheel cleaning brushes worked great getting the inside of the rim without pulling the wheels and or chopping up your knuckles lol.

What style of brush? Looks like it does the trick!
It really works pretty good although it’s soft which is good but not good for those caked on brake dust areas you have to work a little harder. Kinda wish I got one with bristles and also bendable to easily get behind the spokes.
I’ll run this kit until it wears out which might be a while as it even comes with an extra slip on mitt. I do like the brush for getting around the lugs nuts works really good.

4 new OEM tires, Dixcel Z pads, and an oil change @ 13.5k miles + 1 track day at Homestead. Front pads had a bit more life, but the rears were pretty worn. Tires were 100% used up.

I also installed the WOT hood stuts last week, super easy to do if you have a rivnut setter (ty, Amazon) and work a treat.
