Hey guys,

Since winter is around the corner now, there really isn't much i can do more on the car... so i'm pretty much done, figured i'd share some pictures of how far i've gotten with a few of the mods i've done...

nothing compared to some of the members on the board! but enjoy...

No i set out a little further so it would flow better with the plate, the pics are from my bberry so for some reason they "add" detail that isn't really there... the little plastic pc though around the bottom keeps moving up in cold weather and then back in hot, not sure what to do about it...

the interior i actually don't like... but i quickly realized that my TWM shifter (weighted, all metal) got REAAALLY cold over night, at one point i swear my hand froze to it! lol so i had some leather laying around i put onto it temp till summer comes back or until i figure out what to do with it... found some black leather the other day so i might play around with that now... the steering really didn't come out as i had hoped, for function its a great feeling leather wrapped wheel, but to the eye i think its horrible, so until i can come up with some more ideas of how to fix it i figure i'll get the function out of it till then...

+1 for digi liners! best investment for ppl up north ever!

I was going to buy a TWM shifter since they are nice and have adjustable height settings to them which other ones don't. How cold did it really get?? lol

reaaalllyyy cold! lol i wasn't expecting it to be that bad, but walking to a cold car, to only grab cold dense pc of metal... it literally felt like like i was a kid sticking my tongue on a metal fence... lol but i love the shifter, completely changed the feel of driving... i think now that i found some black leather, to wrap it in black it won't look as "odd"... lol

yeah, the corner front side reflectors are tinted the same shade as my back, it dulls out the bright orange in the front makes the whole thing more subtle, but only the sides of the front headlight, not the whole thing...

+1 on weird interior... all i really did was shifter, wheel, Hand Break and the accord badge... but I'm not a huge fan of just going out and buying everything pre-made putting it on the way you're told to and calling yourself an enthusiast, that's just not me, i'd rather do it myself over and over and learn until i perfect it, unless its like rims or brake pads... lol don't think i would take a chance on them "failing" on me lol i'll get there eventually...:-D besides the fun is modding is the planning, and doing... once its done, you've got nothing to do!

lol i do believe you....thing is a solid piece of metal after all. Post pics on how you plan on wrapping it in leather, cause I really wanted one. Compared to the stock shift knob, how much lower does it go? Looks like it can be quite a big difference
 
did you CUT your front plate?!

I like the exterior

why does your shift knob have a foreskin?
cause i miss mine.... :banana: lol

i'll post pics up tomorrow or Friday... the shifter leather was actually almost a close match to the interior color (a lot lighter) but what i didn't realize was that with time it would change color like that... and the bberry makes it look more brown then tan...i have black leather that will be going on the shifter like that...

the wheel like i said, no clue! LoL was trying out something different... i don't like it... but the grip while driving is amazing... now just trying to find a way to combine the two... was thinking of warping the wheel below the leather cover to give it raised grooves without the ugly banding...
 
what percentage is on ur tails? Is it just precut covers or is it a custom cut tint?

i'd say just over 1-1.5inches lower... its almost at a height of a short shifter but not quite, def. a LOT lower than stock, and no more shifting a truck feel...
 
oh my.........that interior is quite messy :lmao:
it would look cleaner without the foreskin shift knob, try wearing gloves, i do. the condom needs to come off the ebrake, tuck in all of your wires, you can drill a little hole in the cubby next to VSA button, you can def tuck wires in the A pillar for your navi. and the steering wheels is....umm self explanatory lol. if you fix all of that, you'll be clean.
but the exterior looks great.
