Why not go with a OE grill?

 

What kind of paint did you use on the interior? Looks like it came out really well.

 

I was using rustoleum vinyl and fabric flat black. I ran out and bought some duplicolor vinyl and fabric black and it is slightly less flat .... so I now have to take out my dash again to spray it so I have a good even color.

I'm picking up 6 more cans tomorrow of the duplicolor. I also ordered my new carpet (black of course) yesterday. I got a new head unit and 6x9s installed this weekend. I need to get some new 6 1/2s for the doors though. Its coming to together. My goal right now is to get the interior wrapped up.

I also went ahead and re-upolstered the visors..they turned out ok i guess..I think they are not that great..but at least they are not falling apart.

I still need:
tint, Seats re-covered, carpet installed, all other body panels installed.

When I get the carpet in, I'll take pictures of it all going back together. Here is a picture of what my dash looked like on saturday:

 

Here is the dash assym frame back together:

 

I reupolstered the visors in the same fabric as the headliner....they turned out ok but not great. Looks better than the dry rotted stuff that was on there though.

 

looks good, did you delete the mirror? or is it underneath the fabric? or im dumb and the visors are upside down lol.

 

yea same question here. i was actually thinking about that the other day. i think im going to bring my visors to a tailor to see if they can sow it for me. because i cant so for ish, and if it comes out bad i can always complain and have em fix it. i might use your idea and go for the faux saude. but i havent seen any at my walmart. it faux suede smooth or cotton-ie

 

Yeah I removed the mirrors..never used them anyway.

This weekend I replaced the carpet and put most of the body panels back in the car. I still have to redo the doors but its getting pretty close. I had a set back on friday when I noticed my ac compressor leaking. I got a quote for 900 bux for new compressor, drier, and expansion valve installed. I bought all hte parts myself for 250 and did the work. Got my local shop to evac the system and recharge it when I was done. All in all I spent about 320 bux, but hey, got a new ac Its cooling pretty good now.

Ill try to take some pics of the blacked out interior soon. Only panels left are the doors really, but I have to reuploster the armrest on one of the doors. Maybe one night this next week I can knock them out. Once the doors are back in, I'll just need tint and I'll probably call the interior done.

So random question.....but what would a 97 civic hx with 162k miles (only 2 owners) with new ac, carpet, battery, with the mods (blacked out interior, headrest, etc) go for?

 

I'm uploading a bunch of random pictures that I took today with my iPhone. I really need to get my camera out and take some real photos...my 3g iPhone camera sucks.
