Whats up guys, just thought I'd post some pictures of the car since its had some recent changes.
I put new suspension on, blacked out the headlights, put on an MDX steering wheel and painted the airbag cover black to match.
The wheels are going soon, being replaced by 04-08 a-spec wheels in 18x8

 

I am not feeling the rims too much, but overall the car is clean! I like the wood steering wheel, I got one too.

 

steering wheel looks good, your rims are your choice, and you need to slamm that bitch.......

 

ooh.
that looks nice!

what did you use to paint the airbag cover?

looks SOOO close to oem.

 

same shit Im sayin......

 

cant slam it with the streets like they are around me, i have enough trouble with it like it is now. although it is an option since the coilovers are adustable.
ill never tell!!!!













in flat black, prep work is key

 

^ wow. nice.

great work!

 

^^^^ i agree im not feeling the rims but overall it does look like a good start, and drop it

 

since yall were curious about the steering wheel here are some more pics

 

nice work man! the wheel looks really good-factory even.

 

Your car looks great man

And that's an awesome job on the steering wheel! I'm not brave enough to attempt that haha

 

Look great, i love that steering wheel I might take a look into that, it'll defiantly solve my problem of the leather coming off do to rubbing. Plus my airbag cover is also a different color then my steering or inside of my car, didn't know what I should use to paint it, now I do... thanks!

 

iono if its the pics or the camera but the lip kit looks like a different white than the WDP.. IMO

 

As you mentioned it, I notice it's a lot "cleaner" or brighter, not sure though if it's cause of the sun.

 

how much was the steering wheel and is it easy to put on?

 

nice, looks clean.

 

steering wheel was around $100 shipped, brand new. it is made for the mdx but the wood grain matches perfectly.
it is a shade off, the front bumper is original to the car and the pearl has started to yellow with the age, thus not matching the new(er) lip kit, I'm considering getting the bumper painted to match it better but really cant justify it right now.

 

and its not really hard to put on, you've gotta be patient though and have a steering wheel puller to remove the wheel from the hub. also new airbag screws are necessary whenever you remove the airbag

 

maybe a nice claybar and wax job would get the whites to match back to normal....

 

very nicely done bud, looks good, and I love that wheel

 

I like the wheel! where did you get the wheel for $100? do you know if it comes in the black wood? i really want to change my wheel. Possible DIY? im just scared to pull my airbag and the thing goes BOOM! haha. what year MDX is that wheel?

 

^ yea i wanna get 1 for my car too

 

^ x2....I wonder if the MDX beige wheel matches my beige airbag.

Thanks for the info on the woodgrain. That was one of the things holding me back. Wasn't sure if it matched perfectly.

 

very clean, the aspecs would make the car pretty complete, wat are u dropped on btw?

 

I love the blacked headlights on white with black tint. I haven't had the courage to try to do mine yet. lol

 

ive got ground controls on the front with tokio illumina struts, and apexi coilivers in the rear.
mdx beige is a shade or two off of the tl beige
here is a link to the auction i won

youre adding woodgraing and im getting mine taken out.... lol

we're all so different

 

Every1 has their own taste.

 

 

How is the ride with 2 diff types of coilovers?

 

its pretty good, the fronts are set at 3 which is pretty comparable to the rears which are not adjustable, so the firmness is pretty uniform all around.

ive got the rear ground controls, but the adjusting nut is cross threaded on the sleeve and the people from ground control wont return any of my emails or phone calls so i cant get them fixed, otherwise i would have those on.

 

Wood wheel is the way 2 go.
