Just Cleaned Her Up

Here are some shitty pictures. The last time I posted any pictures was when I first get the car in August, when it was bone stock:



Fast foward 7 months:



























I've been keeping busy with it. Everything that is in my sig has been in the last 7 months. But I'm done for now since I have to focus my time and money on my other car. Maybe this winter I can finish her up.

You guys can give your opinion, but honestly, I don't give a f@$k

Its the Pioneer F90BT with the Acura start-up screen loaded onto it.

Only when I was up in NY last weekend and I hit a large bump. It was a very light rub. No marking on my tires or fenders, so it may have even been my rear sway bar that had a bolt loose.

I may still roll the fenders though.

Thanks for the positive comments!

Those wheels really look good. I have that same navi. Could you send me the file for the Acura start-up screen?

The G-ride looks tight. I think the JL setup in the trunk is very unique. I'd like to do something like that. Are there similar setups that you know of? Also, how would I change the dash lighting?

Yes it is Uncald4's enclosure. He makes some good shit. Mine is made out of fiberglass, carbon fiber and kevlar.

Thanks for the compliments.

PM me your email address. It is in widescreen format for the other larger screen AVICs though, so if you want full screen you could just chop the sides off, unless you have one of the other AVICs of course.

Thankyou.

What do you mean similar setups? I contacted Uncald4 for the enclosure. He can make it for any sub. He made mine specifically for the sub I've got. If you go to the BM on here, he's got a thread in the sponsor forum.

Nice...yeah I wanted to get that box!

Looks perfect!

What sub are you running?

I have a W3 and he recommended that one for his CL box.

Also...I have my amps mounted to that rear panel but did you reinforce it because there really isn't anything solid there.

13TW5-3. It's the thin sub. I love it. Alot.

I took some 1/4" mdf (1/2" so you don't have to double up like I did) and cut it to fit the area between the side panel and the pass through. Glued and stapled carpet, then screwed three of the four mounting screws for the amp on it. Then I attached it with some deck strapping. It's not going anywhere, it's very sturdy.

That is correct. Thanks.

If you've installed radios before and you don't have a fear of wiring, nope. Thankyou.

There's a few things that I have to finish up with them. I need to get the door switches converted to red still and try to get my sunroof switch to light up evenly. Right now it has hotspots.

I used to have blue LEDs but I didn't think it went well with what I was trying to do with the car.

Still coming along awesome man.

I don't have the cajones to start a full LED swap on the interior because I'm just nervous about one burning out and then having to rip everything off again

Haha, I've taken the dash apart too many times so far just to get the gauges just right.

Thanks for comments.

Yup. I don't even notice that it technically isn't in the correct location (CL shifter bends, Accord doesn't for those who don't know). The throws are so much shorter, plus with the shifter bushings the shifts a much crisper. I just want to replace the Honda MTF with some Amsoil to see if I can rid that little bit of notchiness.
