Okay! Greased em up but I have yet to drive it..
I got some better photos for you all!!
So I finished putting my sound deadener in last night! I still have the headboard and doors to do though.


Here is my carpet!




I started painting my interior.. I found a SEM paint that matches almost perfectly called Shadow Blue. Here is the before photo.


ANNNNNDDD!



Drum Roll Please.


My minty newly painted rear side panel




I think it looks PUUURTY.

Here is a window piece installed.


Now that the exciting stuff is out of the way, here are some photos of my other dealios..

The seat - Looks like crap. DX top and Prelude bottom cause I couldnt get the stupid seat recliner deal cut right..


Here's my muffler


And my traction bar.


And the shocks that come with it.. Anyone know of these?

[wyatta4]

Some photos of the body...






Dad in the background....

My ugly cap... Ill just shave that off when we do body work. I hate the antennas.


Does anyone know how I can recarpet this to match my new carpet?...

[wyatta4]

Here is my inspiration for a straight body... Dads project.. The paint job is immaculate...

Probably Tokico Blues. Those are a reasonable OEM-replacement shock. Not high performance, not really recommended for lowered cars, and they give ride and handling similar to the stock shocks.

They're definitely Tokico, and they're definitely blue....

Haha Alright. Thank you for clearing that up for me..

[wyatta4]

Sooooo.... Took my seats in today to get them reupholstered... Its gunna cost a little under $400 for both.. OUCHHHHH!

Here are the colors.. though the photos don't do them any justice, just iPhone photos.. didn't have my camera at the Upholstery shop It was as close as my eyes could match...

Here is a look at the original..


Here is the inner material.. It is silver with a slight blue tint. Its the second one down.


And the outer material. It looks grey but it is really a blue that matches pretty darn close to original. It's the third one down, right smack in the center.

This is my inspiration. Deleting the stupid fin and Carbon Fiber hood. And that little ugly thing on the bottom of the front bumper.



I want those wheels too.. They are so good looking

[wyatta4]

Those wheels are spendy... I'm thinking more along the lines of the HX wheels.. or maybe the 1st gen Insight. Anyone have any input on rims?

[MetroMPG]

Either HX or Insight rims would work nicely. And being 14 inch, you could get a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE92 LRR tires to go on them. http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...e92-19126.html
