good luck, they should go in without a hitch/

 

when you cleared out your blinker of that orange cylinder,
did you bake them or use a heat gun?
i tried baking mine buh ended up just breaking off the tabs and getting nowhere

 

I bought it cleared, so I'm not sure on the process

 

I ended up cutting a window in the side with an exacto knife. I put the cut out piece back in and sealed it up. Noone's ever noticed.
Or you can order them from Upgarage or YAJ.

 

any pics? it looks like the little orange cylinder is held in by a screw.
i'm on the hunt for a new set now

 

Sorry, no pics. When you take it out, use an exacto and cut a window about 1.5"x1.5". That way you can get a screw driver in there and you might have to break the orange lens up with needle nose pliers to get it all out. Once it all out place the window back in place and use crazy glue to seal it up. I put aluminum tape over it as well for good measure.

 

Decided to do the UCA clearance mod today. Dropped by my friend's shop Jason Noren Fabrications in upland. At first I was just going to leave it be a circular hole but Jason suggested that we cover up the hole with a box. Here are the results. Glad to say my UCA doesnt bang against my car anymore


Getting started


Hole halfway cut


Hole completely cut, UCA visible


Measuring placement for the box


Box complete, mock test fit not welded onto car yet


Paint grinded off to prepare for welds


Up close of the tig welding


So we figured out the hood wouldnt close because the hood struts would touch the box. Modifications were made so the hood would close but still have the box there


Final design of the uca box that clears the hood struts

 

how much did it cost you to make a clearance for your UCA?

 

nice, making a cover is def recommended since all the nasty dust, water, and tire will end up in the engine bay lol.

 

his normal rate for something like this would be approx 250. But Ive known him for a long time so I didnt pay as much

 

looks clean, going to spray it black to match?

the boxing came into play when civics/accords back in the day had to do it when really low, and those cars being macpherson strut it made a big difference in rigidity as lateral force is transmitted in the shock tower.

in the LS, with its double wishbone suspension, that isnt really a concern, so the boxing is really just for looks and to keep your bay a little cleaner.

work looks top notch though

 

very nice and clean work

 

Nice work with the box! Yeah, definitely needs a little paint.

 

debating on painting it black or just leaving it exposed metal with a high temp clear over it so it doesnt rust

 

nice! i need to do mines too! hook me up vincent! haha
