    New guy from so. Cali

    I'm 27 year old dude. Brand new to the import scene. Been into American muscle since 13 had multiple 5.0 mustangs and iroc camaros. Lived in texas for a couple years and owned an 86 lxi never had problems with her. Now I live back in california and just bought an 89 lxi four door. The best car I've ever owned soo far! Love Hondas. I'll post some pics as soon as I get a chance.

    118k miles everything works but the a/c. I'll have to check the relay on the fan since it doesn't turn on when the a/c switch is turned on

    And yes I have the screw caps just two are different colors than the other two. I'll need to paint them to match first before replacing them

    Speaking of painting the lug nut covers - is there an off the shelf spray can color that is a good match for LX-i silver rims? My covers also need paint.

    I just used the off-the-shelf hubcap paint from Kragen. Duplicolor I believe. It matched perfectly.

    ...and is all flaking off now.

    Yes 14 inch rim and I did find the dupli color paint to match. I love how cheap the tires and maintenance parts are on this car too. Under 200 I get a full set of tires compared to my suburban which is 800 and up.
