Lol I tend to suck *** with these types of projects lol. I like the ones that give me tons of error room.

Thanks for the motivation tho. It's next on the list.

Just disconnect both battery cables, turn on your parking lots and let it all sit for like 30 minutes. Just take it slow and be gentle. As far as getting the bag out, I pushed it from behind as best I could and tried not to handle the front of it, too much, or put my face in front of it. The chance of it going off is slim, but I like to be safe. Once I had it out, I set it on the ground, away from the car, lol.

Swapping the wheel took some time, close attention to detail and some brute strength but once it was all swapped, I put the bag back in, carefully, put away all my tools, then re-connected the battery. Started it from the passenger seat and checked for SRS lights. Horn works and the airbag does stick out a few millimeters than it used to but its not noticeable.

Im still kinda cautious with it but I think in a few days I'll be over it.

Awesome man! Great job. Glad you got through it. I wish I had someone to call while I was doing mine, because I was nervous as hell... haha.
Where did you get the woodgrain around the radio? And do you have it around the window switches too? if so where did you get that?
I would like to woodgrain it all around as well...

Re: Mikey's 2001 Accord Coupe EXV6

I was still nervous! Lol. Thanks for the pointers man.

I do have wood around the radio, shifter and door switches.

I bought the shifter piece from a member. Bought the radio piece from www.handa-accessories.com. And i got the door pieces from a junkyard.

The radio piece is expensive and is just a thin piece of plastic the sticks over the old via double sided tape.

The door pieces were a B1TCH! Had to use the entire switch assembly from the donor car. They also dont fit quite like the old ones. Its a 99% fit but they still work and look good.

I already have the console piece that I bought off of here. I didn't know they made door pieces for the coupes... And how does the radio piece look? Can you tell that it is a sticker or does it blend pretty good? Maybe a closer picture if you don't mind.

Re: Mikey's 2001 Accord Coupe EXV6

Yeah they make coupe door pieces.

You cant tell the radio piece is a sticker. Its just kinda depressing lol. Especially considering how expensive it is.
