Great build man! Uber clean car! Carpet swap looks great, and the moldings look good as well. Reminds me of when I did my headliner swap in my old NHBP EM1. I ended up trading my OEM armrest for the DX delete because I didn't use it. hahah

Great progress man! Can't wait to see the finished product!

Very nice. Looks like a masterpiece waiting to happen. I have a 96 ex also needs quite a bit of work but it's on it's way.

Thanks a lot man!

I would have done that trade in a second with you lol, I don't know how I didn't have an armrest earlier than this. So much better IMO.

Should be a while till its finished, one step at a time but thanks for the love :thumbs up

My ground controls came in over the weekend! :cool:

Didn't get a chance to snap some pictures but here they are now.







Koni yellows shown here as well




I've decided that im going to go with two tophats for the front as well. Should be putting the order in for some sometime soon. As well as some new lca bolts then should be able to throw it all on! Can't wait

Haven't done anything lately. Had a few family issues to take care of but now I can direct my attention back to my car.

Putting in a order for the ground control top hats today or tomorrow. Just for one pair on the front.

Might be picking up some si wheels for a great price if they are in decent condition. Need a change from the hx wheels.

Oh and a order for some new LCA bolts and what not to get back on track and this suspension on!

too bad you're not in the Dallas/Ft Worth area. I've been looking for a set of HX wheels. When I cn find them, they usually curb rashed, or poorly painted

I still think I wanna keep them anyways. Just need a different look and can't afford real wheels yet lol

Well, I did end up getting the si wheels.

$150 for all of them with like 70% left on the tires. They need a little attention like cleaned real well and what not but I think it was still a deal. Im probably going to grab some new tires for them anyways cause the ones on them are monster truck status. Looks like ill be saving for new tires and im trying to also save up for a ws2 exhaust cause I can't stand this yonaka anymore, it's garbage.

Here's a shot of the wheels. They will work now till I can afford real wheels.





Shot of the sixth gen by the new ninth gen as well
