    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
