a lot sportier than our seats, but no where as comfortable. do sit a bit lower than the factory, but not much. have a good feel.

feel pretty good, but i dont how much my bad back can handle with these.

this is what i did with the trim, painted them nbp along with the 03 side mirrors




Now, iive got 2 sets of silver trim, and one nbp. I think i'll wrap one of the silver trim with the 3M CF wrap.

havent taken any more pics, may be after the interior detail.
as far as modding rails go, the brackets bolt off of the CL rails, but are riveted in on the RSX seat, so you will have to grind those off and then bolt the CL brackets in and put the RSX seat on top and weld the bracket in that spot.

Seats look great. Your SRS light is on though. Were you unable to wire in the airbags?

x2 on the seats. They make the interior look way more sporty. I expected to see a faster 0-60 run out of this car than what was shown. What was the outside temperature?

its been on from before i put on the RSX airbag. need to replace the unit itself. i havent plugged in anything under the seat yet. still need to spray over the welds put the seats together right, clean and grease up the rails.

It wasnt the best run. Just one run and wasnt done right.
In the first gear, for the most part, instead of paying attention to the car, i was making sure the camera is catching it right. Also the road was pretty shitty. 3rd gear not pushing it all the way

But i'll see if can get a good one.

That's cool Rick. Try to come to the austin meet.

Back to the car, I fixed the bumper for the most part. The CL is going to the body shop for the rear bumper, some body work and then respray, also respray the roof and the pillars.

I also need to get new clips/brackets for the rear bumper.

Nice.

Did you remove the bumper tabs that hold the sides on near the wheel?

Yeah, i had to cut the tabs.
just need to get my lazy ass to make another location for them, about 1" farther. Also need to cut the fenders more so it doesnt rub as much.


what else is messed up is that yesterday at the meet we were talking about how shitty the stereo units are, they always go bad and guess what. An hour later, mine took a dump and all my 6 CDs are stuck in it now. More time to spend on the car that i dont have.

i'm not too big in to audio stuff thats why all my av stuff is stock.
but i think i might just throw something in there.

this car has became a black hole for the money for me.
ive spent more on it in the last 2-3 months than i probably did in the whole year. and more is to come , not too many mods, but every little thing that keeps breaking down.

I know how you feel.

At least for me, its not that the car is unreliable, its that Im never happy with it. And if something does break, its usually my fault anyway.

Stock stereos

Actually, it's decent for an OEM system of this year. IMO.

But yeah throw a 10" in there and an aftermarket deck.

Let me know (PM me) if you need a great deal on a custom box for the CL.

when i turned the car on yesterday, the head unit automatically started ejaculating the cds.

so its working fine now. I remember it got stuck on a CD that kept skipping, turned out the cd is all scratched up inside. I'm not sure why that would cause it to not let me change to another cd or eject any earlier.
