  • Well done good sir.

    I am curious to see how these turn out.
    I have a buddy in Japan that is hunting some down for me in the meantime.

    He liked to see done. Somebody else built it in civic hatchback? I wonder because I also want to mount on my Civic 90 hatchback

    hell, I am curious to see someone make some blinds for the rear side bubble windows. I know they made them OEM, but have never EVER seen pics of them besides inside a brochure.

    I would def like to see a final pic after they were mounted. Especially to see how you made the brackets to mount them

    For the top, I drilled a small hole in the dowel and upper plastic and attached with wire.

  • What size rods did you use, 1/2 an inch?

    How are your blinds holding up? I thought I read about you saying they ended up warping from the heat or something? I've had that happen with a wood set that I made. I've tried wood, metal and foamcore so far. Was going to try these faux wood blinds next, but not if they will warp out. You really did do a great job with these, they look stellar.
  • simplyhondasimplyhonda Council Member
    Just checking in on an old thread. Sorry for a way delayed update....yes, they warped all to hell. Looked awesome the until it got hot outside. Besides, I couldn't see a damn thing out the back, especially when backing up. It was just something I tried & technically succeeded at but have since abandoned this. If you want blinds, make them out of aluminum or something solid. My opinion... If you want rear blinds, pony up & order Daisy JDM blinds that are adjustable and fit properly.

    I have a bunch of these I just cut off from the blinds in my house. :devilish:

    EDIT - nevermind, just read the OP's update.

  • klumklum Senior Wagonist
    Yeah I looked at the post that a user named Jesse said he paid 30$ I saw another post on Honda tech with some guy that had them for sale at 250$ as well I'm not sure but they did have 17 and only have 5 left I'm not sure how well I feel about it after losing 600$ the other day it kind of gave me buyer regrets lol well see what I feel like once their installed tomorrow
