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.

8th Gen Civic Si Walkaround | First Impressions & Plans 2008 Honda Civic Si FA5

Time to introduce the newest project car to the channel. In this video we do a full walkaround and share our first impressions of our 2008 Honda Civic Si — an 8th gen Civic Si that’s joining the Brady Adventures lineup alongside our 2024 Acura Integra A-Spec (DE4) and 2016 Civic Touring

This one is more of a project introduction: what we bought, what condition it is in, and where the build could go next.

Watch the Full Video

Watch the full Brady Adventures video here:

What This Video Covers

  • Exterior condition and overall first impressions
  • What to look for if you are buying a similar Civic
  • Engine bay and basic mechanical overview
  • Things we like right away and things that need attention
  • Early ideas for maintenance, refresh, and future mods
  • If you’re into 8th gen Civic Si builds,

Why Add an 8th Gen Civic Si?

The FA5 Civic Si is a great enthusiast platform with real personality, a high-revving feel, and a lot of potential for a refresh-style build.

What Comes Next

The first step is documenting the condition honestly, then deciding which maintenance, refresh, and modification items make sense for the channel.

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.

Watch the Full Video

Watch the full Brady Adventures video here:

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.

What This Video Covers

Why I Like Simple OEM+ Upgrades

Not every upgrade has to be loud or expensive. Small interior and cargo-area improvements can make the car better to live with every day.

These are the kinds of mods you notice in normal ownership: cleaner storage, better organization, and a more finished factory feel.

PRL Cobra vs PRL HVI | Intake Comparison for 11th Gen Civic Si & Acura Integra DE4

The PRL Cobra and PRL HVI are two of the most talked-about intakes for the 11th gen Civic 1.5T and 5th gen Acura Integra platforms. In this video I break down why I chose the Cobra for my 2024 Acura Integra A-Spec (DE4) instead of the PRL HVI.

Instead of just showing the part, this one explains the reasoning behind the choice and how it fits the overall build plan.

Watch the Full Video

Watch the full Brady Adventures video here:

What This Video Covers

  • Fitment & compatibility – Civic Si vs Integra DE4
  • Design differences – true fender-well cold air (Cobra) vs high-volume airbox (HVI)
  • Daily drivability & sound
  • Performance potential (including PRL’s published dyno gains for the Cobra: up to +16 hp / +9 lb-ft on a stock Civic Si, no tune required)
  • Future upgrade path – pairing with turbo inlet, ducts, etc.
  • Price and value for a real-world street car
  • Product and Tool Links

Why This Matters for the DE4 / Civic Si Platform

The Integra DE4 and 11th gen Civic Si share enough platform DNA that many performance parts cross over. The key is understanding fitment, sound, daily drivability, and whether the upgrade matches your goals.

Real-World Takeaway

This is less about chasing a single dyno number and more about how the car feels and sounds every day.
