Yeah I got it...and it's available to anybody else that wants one through Uncald4, Acurazine Vendor.

A new one is being fabricated for me with a 1x1 twill.

Here's a picture of what the prototype looked like.

This was just the top cover because when I took this pic the lower cover hadn't been made yet.

I haven't been around here for very long, but I've been around long enough to know that this car will never be done :wink:

Looking good Brian.

wuddup scott - 1 year isn't that bad, considering my car has put on about 1,000 miles over the entire span of this thread. to be honest, a new car is coming into the stable by the end of this year, so i either need to start enjoying this car more, or just set it and forget it.

nevertheless, here's some teaser pics of the progress of my interior:

I don't know how much they are charging for strictly a dash, because I got my dash, pillars, headliner, rear seats, door panels, speaker deck, center console all at the same time.

each panel is either suede/leather or leather, red-stitching through the car.

^ Actually it's all done.

I had my car showing at Nisei this past Saturday but the judges had a hard time deciding which category to put my car into - either way, my car didn't win anything, but my car got a lot of looks especially with the interior.

Lots of people had questions for me, I met a few people from this forum, all in all a pretty good time.

IIRC, they put me in the Accord Showoff category. Better for me (I guess) considering the SoCal Acura scene is very heavily weighted on Integras of all years and the NSX

It's defintley a unique wheel setup on a car like this. Just right, or too far? You be the judge.

Thumbs down 19 x 10 Wheels On Acura CL Type S 6m FWD
