I found one the same color but it's pretty rough. Would anyone happen to have any idea on how difficult it would be to carefully take the leather wrap off a good condition wheel and stitch it onto an "Inspire" wheel??? Advice would be appreciated.

Yeah the rear was rubbing a little so I had to trim bumper tabs. I already rolled the fenders when I first bought the car stock to be ready for wheels. As for the steering wheel ima just leave it as is.

hehehehe I would not call that a Bargain for a Used Catback, It amaze me how much the "ATLP" Brand Sells lol but I dont give 2 dimes about ATLP Itself I just want a Catback

I would not pay more than 500 bucks for that / 600 Shipped... for 800 Bucks I can get a BRAND NEW APEXi catback and SHIPPED the thing is, I dont have 800 bucks.

Well Good Luck with the Sale pal!

We all know what it's worth and money is always nice to have ya feel me. Some old Asian guy bought a 2g with all this on the car including oem visors and a ww rear lip. Didn't like how low or loud it was so he put it back to stock lol. I wonder if the previous owner is a member on here or not.

I get what you are saying and trust me I love finding good deals on stuff ( just got dc sport headers for 306$ brand new). Money is always good to have but you could've sold it for 500$ and still more than doubled your money. Personally I don't like buying used parts with some exceptions. Luckily the guy didn't know what he had I would keep it since they might not make anymore for now. Keep up the good work on the car though

Don't mind the temporary gas lid. I had to send mine in with the front lip so they can paint match it.

I'm trying to keep the motor bone stock as it is my girls car. Honestly, I think these tl's should stay stock cuz its an automatic. Who races with an automatic luxury car? Dump all your money on exterior because thats all anyones going to see and thats all that matters. That's why I have my civic to play with just my opinion

i'd rather buy a new one for 180 shipped!

Here's a teaser photo taken at the recent Canibeat meet in fremont.


on the way to and from this meet, the tranny finally took a shit on me and i barely made it home. On top of that, i got a flat tire on the freeway. Dropped off the car on saturday and got it back on sunday with a new Rebuilt transmission for $1300 3year warrenty. Weird thing is, my check engine light popped back up and VSA. code came out to be Torque converter but the car rides like new still...taking it back to the shop right now for him to look at it.

Mean while, stay tuned for a photoshoot coming up!
