alot of people are going back to the stock grill instead of the si style grill

Nice job on the interior!

was gonna pull my carpet out, vacuum it real well, clean it, then Rit Dye it black but was wondering... Was there a How-To on the carpet removal you followed that you can point me to by chance?

Thanks alot!

I didn't follow anything though. It's more easy then you think it is.

Basically just pull the center console, shifter, door panels and that good stuff.

You'll need to take out the metal bracket that holds in the cupholder as well. The rest is just those little pop in clip things that can be a pain in the ass but the come up lol

It's pretty simple to do.. feel free to PM me if you need.

Thanks man

Well mine was just kinda a DIY grill lol. The mesh kept falling out it was pissing me off..

Looked through craigslist and found this stock one. Plus, it happen to be in VSM so it worked out great. I still do like the si/ctr grill for sure but for some reason I like this just as much now.

Two small updates that make me feel better lol

This armrest took me a while to find because it's type K. Got it for a hell of a deal and it's super clean.




Then this little fuse cover lid, mine was missing. It alway's bothered me for some reason so I got one!









Armrest in







Nothing great, Just a little things that keep my mind at peace lol

I need one of those fuse panel covers myself lol. The "clip" part on my cover is broken and has been since I got the vehicle so it don't latch. I just threw it in my glove box but it's like the tell-tale heart... I hear that sucker beating inside screaming to be fixed.

I hear you. Its something small but it bothered me..

Got it for free so can't beat it! Funny cause some guy off honda-tech wanted $25 for just that..

Just have to wait things out sometimes.

anytips on removeing the passanger airbag? =) good work buy the way :D
Thanks!

Take out the glove box, there are 3 bolts and nuts holding the airbag down. Just unscrew those nuts and use alot of FORCE to push the airbag up from the bottom. You have to use a little muscle lol

Car kept reading cold lately, even when I drove it for a good half hour.

New thermostat in, works like a charm now. Forgot any pictures of the new one but everyone know's what they look like anyways.

This one was nasty as hell..

Good luck with the new job! The "H" in the grille looks classy and will alwayls look good! IMO I liked the black moldings with your mirros and handles being black, it was balanced. But since you are getting things matched up are you gonna paint the mirrors soon? or aftermarket?
