I think when I do my interior I am gonna go with tweed.....I tried painting a few pieces but I just wasn't happy with the results. Let us know how it looks when you are done.
well for everyone here, hope i can give you some ideas of what it could/will/may look like:

when i took out the dash i didnt need to completely take off the steering wheel, but it did need to be lowered down. Neuspeed87lx cant wait for the pics.
yeah, i just lowered mine
I guess it's too late now but if you're using vinyl paint make sure you lightly sand everything and use "plastic prep" or some kind of chemical solvent to clean it so it goes on evenly. My door panels are a little rough and then I did the above things to my dash and the consistency was a lot better. It looks basically the same but I have a feeling the dash is going to last longer before it needs touchups.
nope it came out nice and smooth ...i cleaned the pieces real good first then primed them .....then painted with very light coats....i put it all back in and it looks nice.. ill post some pics later
DOOOD!!!! HELPPP!!!!....im having the same problem...how do remove the freakkking dashhh man.....i have an 87 accord DX and i removed all that shit...and i still cant get the dam thing out???? ok then...how do you remove your steering wheEL???...oh yeah....ummm...ur car may be an automatic door lock.....but u know that plastic cover behind it???/theres no screw...and i was wondering how u paint that....well anyways...good job with the paint job...nice color...imma do mine white too....:)
Type R Accord: for the steering wheel, remove the 4 screws at the back, remove the horn cover, remove the cruise control and horn sockets
then use 19mm (17mm??) (lugnut socket will work) to remove the nut
hope that helps
i got it all back in and it looks reaaaal good...ill post pics tomorrow
