here are two pics to give you guys idea more will come when everything will be done as of know im having few troubles putting all pieces back into place

i think it looks pretty cool.
just not fond of the contrast in color.
i would have done a black velvet or alcantara.

how big of a pain in the ass was this to do? ive been toying with the idea since i got the car. just havent pulled the trigger yet.

I think it would have looked better in a SE with the dark red accents.

tob, setup is super sick and the red suede inserts look amazingggg. i mean AMAZINGG. was wondering about your navi system tho. Is all the info from the center stack displayed now with the dual screen? If not, what's not showing up? Also... details about extending the wires? not exactly an electrician but with some sort of direction i'm sure i can get it done

well it was a lot of work taking all pieces out wrapping them then putting back in yes its a big contrast but thats what i was going for my first choice was black but then i was like if im gonna do his its gotta be something "crazy"

thanks
the navi displays only navi and video
the stock screen displays all the info for radio ac etc
all i did to for wires was extending them one by one so nothing got messed up

what size rotors 13" ? how much do they weigh? Whats the cost? Why those over the xlr8 stoptech 328mm kit?

Those rotors do look kinda small compared to the caliper in that pic, probably need at least a 14" for those huge calipers to look right, imo

Sorry for all the questions, I'm looking into BBKs right now

nice deal then . What year accord are they from (US model)? I guess it's safe to say accord BBKs fit on the TSX? That would open up more possibilites if other cars setups will work on ours.

I'm just worried about adding more mass to the rotors and hurting acceleration & economy. I weighed our stock 11.8" front rotors and they were @18lbs. Those 2 piece 13" probably weigh less and is the largest diameter you can go without adding weight. Nice choice

Thanks

yeah US 08-12 accord... they fit but if you ask the companies if they would work they'll probably say that it wont bc of different car/weight etc i havent drive a lot yet but so far no problems at all...
