Why I Chose Artwork Bodyshop Aero for My Acura Integra

The Artwork Bodyshop Integra series starts with how I chose this kit.

For this build, I did not want the Integra to look overdone. The goal is OEM+: make the car look lower, wider, and more finished while still keeping a clean daily-driver.

In the video, I walk through why I chose Artwork Bodyshop, which Integra areo kits I considered, and why I landed on a gloss black spoiler, front splitter, and side splitters from Artwork Bodyshop for the build.

Parts Discussed

Artwork Bodyshop Acura Integra spoiler

Artwork Bodyshop Acura Integra front splitter

Artwork Bodyshop Acura Integra side splitters

Why OEM+?

We have focused this build on something subtle clean and cool while maintaining the integra as a reliable daily driver.

• Spoiler: finish the rear profile
• Front splitter: lower the front visually
• Side splitters: connect the lower body line from front to rear
• No winglets: keep the side profile OEM+ clean and not too agressive

What Comes Next

This video sets up the rest of the series: unboxings, transformations, install details, and a final honest review after living with the full setup.

Disclosure: Artwork Bodyshop provided a significant discount on these parts for this project. They are not paying me to say anything specific, and the series will cover honest thoughts on finish, fitment, install, and whether the setup is worth it.

Mangoal Rear Dash Cam Update on the 2024 Acura Integra

This is a follow-up update on the Mangoal rear dash cam installation in my 2024 Acura Integra A-Spec.

After getting the full front 4K and rear 2K HDR setup installed, I wanted to revisit the rear camera mounting, clean up what needed attention, and share what I would do differently for anyone installing this style of two-channel dash cam.

What This Update Covers

• Rear camera placement after the original install
• Tape/mounting confidence
• Rear hatch/glass area considerations
• Cable slack and trim awareness
• Rear footage/angle check

Privacy Note

Dash cams can capture more than the road. Depending on the settings and footage, they can record GPS/speed data, conversations, faces, plates, routes, and nearby addresses. For public videos, I only use selected/sanitized sample clips and avoid showing private routes, home/work locations, pairing credentials, or sensitive phone details.

Mangoal Dash Cam Drive Footage Review in the 2024 Acura Integra

This is the real-world drive-footage review for the Mangoal front 4K and rear 2K HDR dash cam installed in my 2024 Acura Integra A-Spec.

The earlier videos covered the first look, the front camera installation, the rear camera installation, and the app/usage walkthrough. This one is about the footage and the owner verdict: day samples, night and challenging-light clips, front/rear usefulness, app/file retrieval, and the privacy tradeoffs that come with GPS/audio dash-cam recording.

The Mangoal front 4K and rear 2K HDR dash cam is now installed in my 2024 Acura Integra A-Spec, so this follow-up is about what happens after the install: powering the system on, connecting through Wi-Fi, opening the phone app, checking clips, and thinking through the privacy settings before sharing dash cam footage online.

This video is part of the Mangoal Integra dash cam series. If you missed the earlier videos, I already covered the first look, the front camera installation, and the rear camera installation. This one sits between the install work and the deeper drive-footage review.

Mangoal Rear Dash Cam Install On The 2024 Acura Integra A-Spec

The rear camera install is the second half of the Mangoal dash cam setup on the 2024 Acura Integra A-Spec.

The front camera install handled the clean mirror-area fitment and power connection. This rear camera video is about the part most people want to understand before they start: where to place the rear camera, how to route the cable, how much trim work is involved, and whether the two-channel setup still looks clean after everything is tucked away.

Mangoal provided the dash cam to Brady Adventures for install/review coverage. My opinions are my own. The full review still needs to cover day footage, night footage, app behavior, GPS/privacy settings, and long-term owner experience.

If you are installing a rear dash cam in a hatchback-style car like the Integra, take your time with cable routing and trim placement. The clean result is worth it, but the rear camera is where the install becomes more than a simple front-camera swap.

Mangoal Front Dash Cam Install on the 2024 Acura Integra A-Spec

In this part of the Integra dash cam series, I install the front camera housing on my 2024 Acura Integra A-Spec. The setup is designed to hide behind the factory mirror area, so the big questions are fitment, trim removal, power connection, and whether the installed camera actually looks clean once the trim goes back together.

Mangoal provided the dash cam to Brady Adventures for install/review coverage. My opinions are my own, and the follow-up videos will cover the rear camera, app behavior, day footage, night footage, and whether I would keep the kit installed.

If you are installing a dash cam in a 2023-2025 Acura Integra, the front install is the cleaner half of the job. The rear camera routing is where I expect more of the real work to show up.

2008 Civic Si FA5 Window Sill Weatherstrip Install

The 2008 Civic Si sedan FA5 needed a simple but very visible exterior refresh: the window sill weatherstrip / belt molding had dried out, broken down, and was no longer doing much sealing. In this Brady Adventures video, the old belt moldings come off and a full aftermarket replacement set goes on all four doors.

This is not presented as a perfect factory-service-manual how-to. The video shows the real learning process: stubborn old trim, plastic clips that are basically designed to break, cheap pry tools that are not always strong enough, and the extra care needed if your paint is in better shape than this Civic's already-worn clear coat.

Parts And Tools

• 2006-2011 sedan window sill weatherstrip / belt molding set: https://amzn.to/4zsU5sr

Part numbers referenced for the 2008 Civic Si sedan FA5:

• Front right/passenger window sill weatherstrip / belt molding: 72410-SNA-A01
• Front left/driver window sill weatherstrip / belt molding: 72450-SNA-A01
• Rear right/passenger window sill weatherstrip / belt molding: 72910-SNA-A01
• Rear left/driver window sill weatherstrip / belt molding: 72950-SNA-A01

What The Install Was Really Like

The old seals were in rough shape and came apart as they were removed. Masking tape helped protect the paint around the window line, but the job still takes patience because the retaining clips can stay stuck in the door or break away from the old molding.

The basic process was to work under the rubber and trim, pry upward, remove the leftover clip pieces, clean the channel, and then line up the new belt molding so the back seal and clips seated correctly. Gloves helped once the trim started coming apart, and a stronger set of plastic pry tools would make the job less frustrating.

The driver side improved quickly once the technique started to make sense. The passenger side went faster, but the same warning still applies: if your paint is nice, go slowly, use tape, and be careful around the glass and clear coat.

Final Verdict

For the money, the aftermarket set made the Civic look a lot cleaner. The fresh flat black window line is a big visual improvement over the worn-out old seals, and all four doors looked much better when the job was done.

The tradeoff is fit and finish. The inexpensive set used in the video was not perfectly precise, and one area did not lock in as cleanly as expected. OEM pieces would probably align better, but they cost much more per door. For a budget exterior refresh on an older FA5 Civic Si, the aftermarket set still made sense.

Red Interior LED Upgrade (OEM LED Replacement) | Integra / Civic

In this video, I upgraded all of the interior lighting in my Acura Integra — replacing the stock white LEDs with red ones (Civic Type R Part#) throughout the cabin.

This fits the OEM+ direction of the channel: useful, clean, and focused on real-world ownership rather than going over the top.
