Smoked & Blacked-Out Wheel Emblems with Tinted Vinyl (No Paint) | Acura Integra Center Caps

In this video I show how to use tinted vinyl to smoke or black out chrome wheel emblems WITHOUT paint or permanent changes. This simple trick works for almost any wheel center cap and is a great way to tone down bright chrome, add contrast, and protect the emblem at the same time.

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

What This Video Covers

• Choosing the right smoke or black tinted vinyl for wheel emblems
• Working the vinyl around the raised Acura logo
• Using heat to smooth the vinyl and remove bubbles
• Before and after look at the smoked / blacked-out center caps on the car
• Because this is vinyl instead of paint, it’s fully reversible and easy to redo if you change your mind or want to try a different shade.

Why Blackout Details Matter

Chrome and bright reflectors can pull attention away from the A-Spec lines. Blackout and smoked details help the car look more cohesive without permanently changing the character of the build.

Reversible OEM+ Approach

The best part of these small styling changes is that they are approachable, relatively inexpensive, and often reversible if you ever want to return to stock.

Rear Camber Arms Install | Acura Integra DE4 / 11th Gen Civic Si Platform

Lowering the car is only half the job — now it’s time to fix the camber. In this video I install adjustable rear camber arms on my 2024 Acura Integra A-Spec (DE4), which shares the 11th gen Civic Si platform (and is also similar to many 10th gen Civic setups).

The goal is to make the job feel approachable before you start taking parts off the car.

What This Video Covers

• Removing the factory rear arms
• Installing adjustable rear camber arms on the Integra DE4
• Setting a reasonable starting point for camber before alignment
• How this ties in with my Eibach Pro spring setup
• Rear Eibach Pro rear spring install (this video)
• Song: Lensko - Circles [NCS Release]

Why Suspension Comes First

Lowering springs change the look immediately, but the right setup is about more than stance. Ride height, alignment, camber correction, and tire wear all matter.

How It Fits the Build

This is part of the larger Integra DE4 / Civic Si platform suspension series, moving from spring install to camber correction and final alignment.
