Re: *4/16 Update* RR's 3.2L '99 EX-L Coupe 6MT

You can always add Nav, and heated seats. No excuse (katzkin with OEM switches) (cough)

My ideal situation would be to get hold of a charcoal 6GA interior, with black CL-S front seats (heated) and have silver or brushed trim throughout. Custom black and red would be nice too.

NAV I'd like OEM.

canadians have heated seats lucky *******s

Ugh don't even get me started on that rant. I will never understand why Honda thought we don't get cold as hell here. If it snows where you live, and you sit your *** on a leather seat in the morning....a heated seat fits. Makes zero sense.

Car looks great Chris. Wish I could afford to dd that height every day.... Lov'n the wheels-:drool: Oh and props for the roll'n the bra, takes me back looking at a car with that ...:afro:

Thanks Daniel! The wheels are pretty much my dream wheels. :) Did your old coupe have a bra? I can't remember lol. But yeah I like putting it on sometimes.

Current height is pretty easy to DD, actually. Only challenges are my driveway and the occasional bump or dip in the road. I'll be going a little lower though, soon as I roll my fenders.

haha I'd be all over the heated seats in the winter, I hate the cold with the fire of 1000 suns. I'm always looking for the OEM switches and trim. But wow, never used them once...

I used cruise a lot when the car was auto, but not as much now. Just long trips.

Nice stance, Chris! Are you being able to drive w/o any hassle with this height? It seems a lot lower than when you had the A-Spec's.

EDIT: NM. Saw the other thread. I even scrape on things sometimes w/ my height w/o lip kits, so it is a hassle for you then haha.

Perfection. Do not lower it anymore

Thank you. :) This is definitely the final ride height, gonna keep it here and if all goes well for a week or so, then I can get an alignment and be done messing around. Tired of tinkering with my wheels/fenders.

Thanks Richard! I am now…where I live, this height seems to be pretty problem free to DD. Shaved the rear bumper tabs last night, and now I have to hit a big dip to rub, and even then it’s barely noticeable. So really the only things that require attention are parking blocks and curbs, but I just play it safe when I park. I can get in and out of my driveway fine. So not so much of a hassle anymore, pretty happy I made it work.

I think for me, this is the perfect line between function and form.

We need side pics Chris!!

Ha okay, I’ll get those when I wash it today or tomorrow!

Know what’s funny? Seems like you and I have switched places. I mean in general, I’m not as low as you were haha.

Nice to hear that it is still being practical for you. :thumbsup: Yeah, I need to watch out on those especially those sharp & tall speed bumps on parking lots that are not DOT standard, yet more like a parking block. Hate those so bad..

Agreed. :boink: Your new stance is my ideal.
