I got to the nut but tightening it appears to do nothing. I'll have another go at it tomorrow..
Oh well. At least i got my tires rotated, wheels painted and interior trim painted.
Next up... finish fixing the floppy handbrake and then try and get some of scratches off my car..

I was just wondering if anybody had posted a DIY or something before i just go in there and start tearing things apart. I did a quick search but nothing really came up.

I've taken out my rear deck. Seats don't need to come out. You have to remove the C pilar covers and break some screw type things in the process. I didn't buy new ones because it still stays in place and doesn't rattle or anything. It was a BITCH to get out. I have some handy PDFs thanks to Ed that I can send you if you want to pm me your email.

yea if its the same year it'll fit.

09-10 acura grilles will fit on 09-10 accord euros

11-13 acura grilles will fit on 11-13 accord euros

and of course you can fit the different year grilles on an older/newer car, just gotta get the same year bumper etc

From what I remember a lot of aluminum pedals out there looks cheap. And most are too expensive. We had a good thing going when we were told we'd get OEM ones for way less money.

I have these! they fit perfect and look oem! The only thing i recommend is getting some more screws from the hardware store. the ones that came with the pedal are cheap and strips easily.

For $45 shipped and it only took 7 days to get to my door.

I Can post pictures tomorrow if anyone is interested.
