    Glad, I'm not the only one hiding my toys. Dam at 45 you'd expect that I could have all the toys I wanted.

    Good to know that we are both in our 40's and still have toys to hide from our wife's. I'm sure there are plenty more of us that do the same.

    LOL at everybody chiming in on this one. I feel ya...
    the thing is I think.. is that we feel like we should defend these toys because they are always brought up in the next tiff with the wife, and we also do not get a fair turn around when they blow $xxx amount (insert frivelous feminine expenditure here) which to us has no value and seems like a total shredding of cashola.
    Just say at least you were not buying smoking dope stuffing dollars down strangers panties, or getting oreintal massages with the happy ending treatment.. LOLz

    Re: Started Pulling out my Engine and Transmission today (56k I do not recommend)

    decided since I was stuck at home today with my f' up ankle I would attempt the map light install I got from 2drSE-i. Turns out I had to cut into the headliner so that the bracket that attaches to the mirror would sink more into the roof.
    I couldnt bring myself to cut into my pristine headliner so I gave the blade to my wife and had her go at it for me. (sorry for the crappy pics all I had was my cell at the time)
    My wife cutting into the headliner



    The Map light housing installed.




    I still have to hardwire in the lights and it will be done. The only thing I notice is that the edge of the visors hit against the map light housing I guess I'll have to try and readjust the visor or have them shortened a little.

    Next project on the list is to get this chrome antenna housing that I got from 84Accord installed, my black housing has a pop rivet holding it in place and not screwed in like the chrome piece had.

    i had the same problem with my xm setup up there,i ended up making up an overhead console from assorted other parts. don't worry about cutting the headliner, it's covered by the map light now, much better then stock.

    it was just so hard to get the nerve up to make the first cut, glad my wife had the patience to do it for me

    Well it looks great pico! you may have to come up with some coupe visors, from what im to understand they are smaller. I was told that maplight would work for coupes, but the SE-i headliner is different.

    I'm ok with it at the moment, I'll probably put a little bend in them. No big thing
