And here's the new & improved one:



Where online exactly did you get this center console piece?
its the one that comes in the cx and possible some of the dx's. It the one that came stock in my car. if you want one just go to a junk yard and you'll prolly find one.

heh, that yellow wrapper was the packaging for my new tail bulbs. As for the center console, I got it on ebay... from japan. It took about 2 weeks to get here and cost almost 30$. I'm glad you guys like it. Its a lot better than that armrest. The only thing about it is that it isn't an exact fit. The rear will be elevated about a centimeter and you'll probably have to make your own screw holes to keep it in place. Just a little FYI. More pics coming soon!

I've been busy as usual. I checked the laws on the headlights and yeah, they have to be amber turn sigs here, so I replaced those. Also put in some new sylvania lights. I got my new gauges set up and working. Here's a couple of daylight pics:

And... a night time pic:

I know a lot of you probably won't like the white gauges, but I bought them mostly for the night time look. I swapped out my standard green turn sig, and gear shift indicators for blue lights and my stereo head unit is also blue. The whole thing looks awesome. I am planning tochange all the AC control lights to blue, and do the cupholder lights in a few weeks.

The other thing that I did today was put in some grounding wires. I'm not 100% sure that they do anything except improve my idling, but they're supposed to do a bunch of things. Also, It gave me an excuse to start cleaning my engine bay. Here's a couple of pics:

Last week I purchased about 50$ worth of washing/waxing/polishing supplies and some touch up paint. Unfortunately, It's rained here for the last 12 days..... So hopefully I'll get to clean things up really soon and post some better looking pics. If you guys have any suggestions, i'd love to hear them.

EDIT: Paint that valve cover!

I know a lot of people on here dislike the altezza tail light look
As long as you like it that's what matters. Keep up on the progress man. You're making tracks with the mods.

No true modifications today, but I did do a lot of work. It's the first day in over 2 weeks that it hasn't rained in houston, so I spent most of the day Washing/Polishing/Waxing my car. Here's a few pics:

I also spent a lot of time on the interior. I removed my front two seats and vacuumed everything as well as I could, then used some Resolve to get the carpet looking nice again. Here's an interior pic:

The only two changes that I made were to put on some new OEM pedal covers ( i got rid of the racing pedals):

And I replaced my worn out steering wheel cover:

I've still got a lot to do. I ordered an NRG torque damper, a Type-R black grill and a lower rear Tie Bar. I still need to put on the H-Brace(it's a pain w/out lift access). Also Within the next two weeks I should be swapping all the AC control lights to blue. I'll keep posting my updates.
