It was his call. He explained that if he put it on the inside, he would have to put lots more than that. And if he used the little stick on ones, he would have had to add some to both sides and it wouldn't be great. (It looks like he tried. There was sticky residue on the inside of it.)


OMG I'm so gay for this, but the way those beautiful rims catch the evening sunlight is amazing.

 

ya i wouldnt worry about the small weight that much. at least it does match the wheel.

 

Those rims are sweeeeet they look so nice!

 

I stripped a lot of the interior today. The rain really threw me off but I got the 4 door panels off, the seatbelt cover parts on the B pillars, the ECU cover and opposite cover, the passenger seat, and the lower center console. I took the speaker grilles and handles off the panels too. While I was working, I went ahead and swapped the inner rail from the Civic seat to the Integra seat and vice versa. It was cake! No trouble at all. Couldn't swap the seatbelt receiver over, but I'll just paint the tan away. No biggie.

The integra arm rest is just a little bit different from the Civic one. They're SUPER CLOSE but not enough for a direct swap. I stripped the leather off the Teg one and put it over the Civic one. The Teg one is bigger but I'll trim some leather off and it'll work. Interestingly enough, the little ash tray off the back of the Teg rest will swap directly into the Civic rest. Too bad I don't need it. It may end up in my forsale thread.

I know you all want pics but all I've got is a semi-gutted car and a bedroom full of interior panels. If you REALLY want pics of that... sure. But I didn't take any because it's kind of lame to.

I DID find out that the passenger side rear door came off another gold Civic. If you don't remember, that door was hit in my wreck back in November. It got totally replaced. I thought it was just sprayed gold to hide whatever it used to be but the inside doesn't lie. Nothing but gold all over. Nothing under it either. Nifty.

I looked around at the rear seat backs too. The Teg rear seat will in NO WAY swap over in such a way that the latches will work. I'm gonna have to notch the core support and move one of the latches over, then cut a hole in the rear deck cover to make it work like stock. Hey, it ain't custom unless you cut sheet metal.

I don't know what I'm gonna do without music now. No front speaker, wires just dangling, just 6x9s will suck if I have them and the 4 Crossfires playing. Guess I'll do without for a bit.

[edit] Ok, fine. There's the parts corner.



And here's why I can't change the door panels over to leather.



They're not like the 2dr ones that are removable. That thing is solid with lots of lines and holes in it. So, I'll just hit them with fabric dye.

 

o please.... just go to a junk yard with a knife and cut up some rear door panels and see how the fabric is poped on the panels... im sure there is some kinda seperate panel under all those melted tabs on the back....

or just remember its also not custom unless you cut some plastic also dont be scrared... whats the worst that can happen? you have to buy another door panel from a junk yard...

aint nothing some plastic JB weld cannt fix good as new

 

the thread i linked you to on honda-tech when we were talking on AIM shows you how to remove the insert from the door panel.

 

Guys, I spent 30 minutes looking for a way to take it off. The thing is ONE PIECE. Unless I cut it up and jb weld it back like addiction said, its not really happening.

 

I see now.

 

What do you mean it wouldn't be great? Does the person know how to properly balance rims and tires? With a little 15" rim, it doesn't take much to balance the inner and outer with stick-on's.

 

The rim was slightly bent on the spokes. So, it wasn't an ideal thing to work with.
