^Brad your interior is sick. :bowdown:

I love how the silver inserts in the headrests echo the console trim.

Looks great, Brad.

Nice work with everything.

CB, I guess you will have an update for us in a couple of days as well.

Looking forward to your review of the latest purchase.

thanks dude, just about finished with the interior, i wanna change the door suede and maybe a perforated black leather armrest. but i might turn my attention to the exterior for now.
the silvers dont match up yet and the door trims arent painted but for now it looks alright, having the same problem as you did with NH412L :lawl:

except with rsx YR234L and cls "Titanium", i think ill end up painting everything a darker silver to match the seats(close to NH412l actually) or ill just metal vinyl wrap everything, something like this stuff maybe brushed titanium

^I ended up finding another Honda color that was close to the NH412L, I will have to update that thread I made on it. The part I sprayed with it does look darker than the HVAC at first glance, but that's only because the part I painted is in a recessed space, and doesn't get much light. So the normal/shadowed part of the HVAC matches the part I painted, if that makes sense. I'll get some photos up when it's done, I have to tweak it a little, then clear coat it.

That wrap doesn't look bad, if it is in fact raised and has somewhat of a textured feel like he said that's even better.

The intake? What's stupid about that is I sold my old one, not realizing I could reuse it...I really thought the J32 TB was bigger than the J30 just because of the massive difference in IM's. But Jakub seems convinced they are the same, and AEM's website does say that part number fits both 98-02 V6 Accords and the 2G CL-S/TL-S. So I'm a bit surprised.

Love the sound that thing made though back when I had it, the kid in me is kinda excited to hear the difference lol.

thanks, probably my favorite interior mod ive done. I honestly think the 05-06 type s seats are the best honda seat option for our cars if you're looking for Sporty AND comfort, they look and feel better than 02-04 rsx, s2k, and cl/tl seats without weighing too much, sitting in them makes me wanna drive 1000 miles and hit every curvy road i find

Will do. And the CL color you are referring to is called Anthracite Gray Metallic. Really nice color.

If only they were heated. That and the good side bolstering is why I'm after tan CL-S seats. RSX do look cooler though and obviously have great bolstering. But I do like that the CL-S are basically a straight swap, I wouldn't know what to do about the rails and seat height issue, etc.

Brad, really like how your interior is looking, great job!

RedRyder · Jan 21, 2014

Flying truck tire split my passenger sideskirt, smeared my front lip and bumper with rubber marks, and destroyed some of the underbody aero panels and fender liner. ****ing highway debris.

Not sure if the sideskirt is repairable. Front lip may need a new clearbra, not sure if that can be buffed. Will have to replace aero panels and fender liner. Hopefully the bumper will clean up.

dang sorry to hear that, im always driving in fear of that happening on highways. pics of skirt? if the clear bra isnt all chopped up and just has rubber marks, they might come out with some carb cleaner and a rag.
what are these "aero panels" you speak of? :thinking:
