I painted all the little trim pieces. It was a bit of a pain but they turned out good.
So when I thought I was finished I looked at the door and saw the trim that goes around the seat beltso I took the seat belt off to see if I could take the piece off. After a while I realized I couldn't and since I didn't want to cut it I taped the seat belt.
Not the best but it worked.
I'll see if I can finish it soon.
Small update....
Well I decided to check the mail and got a surprise.
All I have too say is that they're awsome, thanks stat1K.
Well I finished installing my interior.
Good: I like the two tone look.
Bad: It doesn't exactly match the dash but it's better than what I had.
Looking good.
Nice man! love the way its turning out..i need to reupholster my panels as well
Thanks. I thought It wasn't gonna look right because of the he way the door panel goes down but you can't even notice it when the door is closed. When I got in the car today the whole car smelled like vinyl so I got to let it air out. Also since I had the door panels off I decide to tighten up the springs in my seat belts so they wouldn't sag so much.
About 2 weeks ago I noticed a small click on the front driver side wheel when ever I stopped, turned or accelerated so I went and checked it out. I noticed that the upper ball joints needed to be replaced. Since they weren't that bad (not a lot of play) I left them alone for know (till I get enough money for new prelude control arms).
Also, ever since I changed my clutch I been having trouble with my tach. The needle would start to twitch and go crazy when I went to WOT or close to (but not all the time) but recently it started to get worse (now even at normal acceleration or cruising) so I decided to change the dizzy with one I had laying around and that seemed to fix the problem. Then my a/c compressor decide to take a crapper and lock up. So when I was changing the dizzy I decided to remove the a/c comp belt, as I was under the car removing the belt I looked up and I'm pretty sure my face turned white because I saw the bolt of the lower control arm coming out. When I finished taking off the belt I started to tighten the bolt. It had backed out about 6 turn and I'm glad I found it on time.
I went for a test drive and the engine was smooth, no crazy tach and no more click so I should be good for a couple more weeks before something else goes wrong. lol
Update: I haven't really done anything to my car since I did the interior so nothing new :p BUT I might get my car painted REAL SOON!!!!
Well the paint came sooner than expected. Today I went to drop off my car. Hopefully it will be done by next week, I'm so EXCITED!!!!!!
paint the trim in the bumpers/doors and it should look fresh!

I dropped by the shop again to see how my car was doing but it looked the same. When I got there he had barely finished painting a front bumper (it looked really good) and started working on a lexus. The guy said he's stuck doing other work but would start to paint it on thursday or friday. I really miss seeing my accord in the driveway.

The bumper trim will be painted black later. He wanted to paint the whole bumper 1st so he could do the trim later.
Thanks
Yeah, the guy has 20yrs of experience so he knows what he's doing.
