A few new things for this year....
Its been a while since I posted some pics so Here are a few changes im doing to the car for this show season. I dropped off my headliner and pillars to my buddy Romeo at Romeo's tint and upholstery to have wrapped in suede.

![](http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff163/grounded4/mikey025.jpg)
The drivers A-pillar I had the honda accord 3 pod gauge pod that layed over the factory pillar but was annoying me since it didnt line up properly. So I had my buddy cut it down and mold it in to the factory A-pillar.
I had to cut out some parts of the factory pillar to access the air ride gauges from behind

Here it is after I got it all molded together

Next I dropped a bunch of misc. stuff from my engine off to my buddy martin at liquid powder coats to be powder coated. I just got back my alternator, alternator pulley and power streeing pulley. Now I just have to have my friend Isaac who took the alternator apart put it all back together. I was going to powder coat everything a color called almost chrome which looked polished but decided to do some stuff a transparent rasberry and some almost chrome.. I dont know what it is about this color but just couldnt resist...

Got the last of the transparent rasberry pieces back from the powder coater but he still has a few pieces to powder coat almost chrome should be picking the up off him tom. The color looks alot better in person it has a nice blue tint to it that looks nice with the blue color of my car!!

Thanx.. There actually vinyl not leather and I paid $650 but I also had the guy redo them to look like the Type S seats... He said the vinyl holds up better and doesnt crack like leather..
