Okay, here's a little teaser of the car coming out of hibernation... (winter sucks)

It is super foggy right now in my Hometown.

I got an alignment yesterday (my 3-year "lifetime" alignment is almost up)
I had my windshield replaced this morning, only 100 bucks with insurance.

Lip is to be paint matched along with a type-r rear lip to match.

I installed the HOP console in and the Cup holder/Coin tray.

Thats pretty nice work there. I like the radio position swap with the cup holder add on. Got any more info on where those parts came from and hard is it to do that swap?

Nice seats too, i hope to be able to get those seats sometime maybee this summer if money permits.

The HOP console can be found in a bunch of places. But, it's almost always backordered.
Make sure you get a LHD one!! There are slight differences like mounting hole positions and the side is further out on the passeger's side.
I got mine from JHPUSA.com.

The Cup Holder/Coin tray is from a Ford Taurus believe it or not. You need to cut some stuff off of the back of it with a dremel.

Putting everything in is pretty easy. But if you want an aftermarket CD player where mine is you have to be good with a dremel.

Thanks man! I painted it with 3-4 light coats of flat black to make it a gunmetal-ish color. You can still kind of see the chrome shimmer through the flat black.

Well, I did replace all of them with the CF pedals but the clutch and brake pedal started so slip on the pedal so I ripped them off immediately. The gas hasn't given me any problems so I let it be.

I'll have to pull it out and take pictures. It's hard to explain, but I'll try. You have to cut off part of the corners in the back. And, I don't know if you have to, but I took off one of the side "hold in place" clip things.

Well, I was being a doof and playing in the snow this winter. I managed to demolish my other lip. I've been wanting to get a rear lip for a while, so I went on good ol' eBay and order up a set of type-r lips. Right after I ordered them, I realized that I forgot about Mugen style lips and that I should've gotten one of those. I just shrugged it off and said oh well. Just my luck, when they came to my doorstep the front was a Mugen style! That was the first time that I was happy that some Fleebay putz screwed up!
