Thank you! I appreciate that! I really try to cover everything and be detailed. I know how it is when you need detailed instructions for installs, and some products these days don't include detailed instructions, so you basically have to turn to the internet to figure things out. I'm trying to be that help, and share whatever knowledge I know :)
Great job you two! I’ve yet to complete my CRX. Now that I’ve been reminded people from U.S.V.I. are still heavy in car culture, this definitely spurs me on to complete it. Hail up from STT via UAE!
@@dabgoddess3232 Yes, it is complete. It is never done though. Good luck with your CRX. I hope you can finish and enjoy it as I do mine. Keep going. It's worth it.
Yeeeow jus come across yuh vid to get some of de 'how to' jitters outta meh system n I get something even better! Ah couples DIY tutorial!! Really good to see family's in de garage living it up instead ah eyes glued to ah tv. Keep de positivity vybz alive n active!
This was / hell , is the best install vid. I've seen. You both did a great job . Thank you. One thing tho if I may suggest, Lose the red arrow stickers. The latches look great on that Honda. Now off to do this on a Nis.350 convert. with carbon fiber hood. Have a Great day.
Omg!!! I’m losing my mind right now!!! I always look for cool car vloggers and I always have different pop since follow som many. This video popped up and I saw that it was a woman. So I thought this is dope I want to check it out. I’m watching this thing and within 2 minutes I hear this accent and I’m like. These people sound cruzan or Thomian. I read some comments and saw someone commenting on USVI and I’m from St. Croix USVI. So this was all unexpected to me. I’m filling this for sure. And she’s freaking beautiful as well. Dope stuff man!
very good video great job only 2 things id suggest which are important touch up edges you cut with paint cause it will rust and those rubber grommets you removed for the pins are actually adjusters so the hood lines up with the fenders and keeps it from rubbing the head lights grill and upper rad support drill new holes for the pins great video tho top notch
Thank you! I appreciate your suggestions.. We didn't have the touch up paint yet, Sean has to get the touch up paint for his color mixed, then he'll paint the edges. And I do know that the grommets are the adjusters, but the strike is adjustable up and down so the hood height can still be manipulated to line up with the fender height. Also, the hood latches come with bump stops that go over the strike, so that could be another option of keeping the hood from going down and getting too close to the headlights, grill, and upper rad support.
@@Aisha_LadyBuilt you can also just make a new hole for the stock bump stop/adjuster. Or make a custom bump stop out of the right thickness rubber (doughnut)... A little locktight on the bolts (top and bottom) helps keep everything good.
Yes FINALLY somebody said the thing that needs to be said. All these “quick install” guides on youtube completely ignore any car enthusiast’s biggest nightmare: RUST. Whatever you cut or drill, touch it up with something, rustoleum or similar stuff is fine. But do SOMETHING 👍🏼
great work. great color choice on that Honda as well.. so far this was the most detailed instructions on how to.. keep up the good work!!😎👊👍 question: at 5:58 where you mark the lines, is the hole above that line? or should it be exactly where the lines cross each other?
I have a 2000 Civic with old-style (and just plain-old OLD [rusty], too!) hood latch pins, on account of an intercooler that mounted up so high that there's no room for the factory latch across the center of the grille support. This would be perfect for it.
this might be an old vid but I appreciate your detail Sis!! If you were putting this on one with the OEM latch already on would you remove the OEM and replace with these?
Thank you for watching! You could do either, but I would probably go with taking out the OEM so that it doesn't bind up when you're trying to close the hood.
You guys welded up all the holes but I used the closer to the stock latch and it made for a cleaner install because I only have two round holes from the bottom of the hood .I was able to slip that bottom plate in from the top .
FYI you should have sprayed it to prevent rust. other than that, great job! Possibly could have used gasket maker along the seam also to hold back water.. but the reason is, when it rains the surface tension of the water will pool up around those bare metal areas and eventually cause rust. depending on where you live and how humid it is will determine how long it takes.
I was thinking. Instead of cutting all the way through the bottom of the hood, it could have been possible to have just the striker come through the bottom and for the entire assembly via the top hole since the chassis has fitted holes for the nuts. Probably would have had a harder time but it would have had less cutting and looked cleaner from the bottom side. But maybe that’s all in my mind.
Hey i know this dont relate to this video but i was wondering if u know of anyone that can fab up a itb for a d17a2 01 honda civic sohc vtec? *Plz help*
Our cars are street, race, show cars lol. We daily them sometimes. I just don't like driving mine as a daily because I'm afraid of people hitting into me. I was rear ended in my daily (RDX) a few years ago, and I would have been livid if it were my orange car!
The hood latch and cable were removed in prep to paint the car, and Sean decided to use this type of hood latch instead of the stock hood latch. This type of hood latch is universal for any type of hood.
Aisha Lady Built Garage maybe it’s not a dodge looks like a challenger or charger in your intro lol and I feel that. You show the real shit no sugar coating everything and only showing the wins
I am really not looking forward to putting holes in my 1300 dollar Siebon hood nut I have a set of genuine areo catch latches I must put in. One chance! I better get it right!
Depends on what you are wanting. Are you trying to rebuild the engine? Do you want to upgrade? Are you looking to just have a car running, or are you looking for performance? Lots of options, but you have to figure out what you want to do with the car.
What I want to do with the car is basically build it from ground up the engine is shot so it’s not running but I want a little performance not so much u know I was wondering what kind of engine should I get for the 1998 ex coupe
That won’t be an issue i know imma spend a couple grand on it I just wanna know what engine would you recommend on this build like i want performance but not that much to where it’s like I’m trying to be ina race track
@@Aisha_LadyBuilt Yes I live in Arizona and anything plastic gets destroyed. To be fair I don't know how long they've been on the car because they we're installed by the previous owner. Both sides are broke and faded.
