i finally got home last night and go to see my car, took some pics tonight in the garage post buffing and deep cleaning tomorrow, i have a lot of scratch's i need to get out but the interior is looking okay. ill keep you posted, probaly going to black my headlight housings tomorrow.

 

I think you need some floor mats.

 

yea i took those out for my cleaning tomorrow, im shampooing the carpets

 

anyone have a remedy for my steering wheel, its pretty nasty lookin, i could get a cover, there is a grey one at my parents dealership

 

Saddle soap.

 

nice man.. what kinda green is that?

 

whatever the factory but on it. its like blueish green. im not debating on how to attack the stratch's in the paint. my gf's dad gave my his orbital buffer and rubbing compound but im really nervous about using that. i bought some stratchx i think i am going to try that out...anyone have any ideas. im gonna go snap some pics of what i am trying to get out.

 

 

Those are some pretty nasty scratches. Good luck gettin em taken care of.

 

rubbing compound works really well on some scratches that dont go below the base coat, but those look real deep and you might not accomplish too much with rubbing compound, the scratchx isn't even as strong as the compound either, good luck though

for scratches like that you might wanna use a little body filler if they're real deep, then a touch up pen to paint that, then clear coat with a pen or small foam brush, sand with 1500 grit and use compound.. thats if they're really deep

 

For the steering wheel, it looks like its $82.53 for a whole new body piece from www.acuraautomotiveparts.org. That doesnt seem too bad of a price, mine is worse.

 

speaking of steering wheel...why is it again that the 98-99's can swap to the wooden wheel but the 97s cant? whats different again? I wonder if its possible to convert the 97 to whatever the 98 has so i could get like the MDX wheel...

 

the horn buttons.

 

You can probably get some of the scratches out in the first couple of pictures. The ones that looks like it's been keyed, you'll need some filler, those are way too deep.

 

humm....wonder if it'd be possible to do a conversion?? I want this!

 

how to get rid of scratches, "uh oh better get maaco." plus new paint just looks so nice and shiney. especially with a couple coats of CC.

 

can i peel the old leather off my steering wheel. it seems there is black under it. has anyone done it?

 

do you have sex on your hood with your keys clipped to your pants?

 

haha, nope, it was like that when i got it, most of it won't come out, might as well get it repainted to many stratches. just as long as it runs im don't really care, its impossible to keep the paint nice, especially if its 8 yrs old, detailed my engine and shampoo'd the inside, only thing i need to do is put my exhaust and taillight tint on

 

ill clean your engine it will look brand new just give me 5 hours with her

 

hah ask agranado, he might know

for replacements, the 97 airbag is also a different shape.. that why we can't get only the outside part of the 98-99.. its possible if you buy an airbag too but they're expensive
