Numbaone,
Thanks, I've seen your pics too. Nice work, but isn't it the "HONDA" Inspire, not the "ACURA" Inspire. Sorry, but to me...that seems kinda ricey. Otherwise, nice car.

69tl,
I got the red "H"s from a local car shop that makes vinyl stickers. They cost me $1 a piece. At the time, I didn't feel like going to the Honda dealership to get the "H" centercaps. I guess I should have though when I ordered the "H" for the plate in the engine bay.:p Anyways, thanks for the compliments.

Numbaone.
I realize the centercaps look a little off, but like I told 69tl, maybe I'll go back and order the Honda centercaps when I feel up to it.

Where did you have the custom decal for side mirrors done and how much were they? Please give me the number ... I'd love to have them on my ride!

Thanks!

Yaron2,
I got the decal from a local car shop here in Queens, NYC. The place is called Speedworld on Queens Blvd. I just measured my mirror, told them the size I needed and the color. My girl suggested the italics for the font to make it look better. Anyways, it cost me about $3/mirror.

Question

I've been to Speedworld quite a number of times and it is truly an amazing store .... also Big Boys Toys .... anyway, what exact size are they and what italic font did you use?? I really think it looks great!
Thanks!

VeiLsTyleZ,
I never removed the "A" from the steering wheel. I just covered it with the carbon fiber decal and the red "H". I didn't feel like messing around with the decal and possibly damaging the material on the steering wheel.
