I do believe that is a A-spec steering wheel. I have the type-s carbon wheel. It compliments the interior perfectly.

when you do your calipers try to keep the "ACURA". I feel every time I see red I think of a civic lol Im sure it will look good cuz you do good work maybe painting the "Acura" black with the red caliper might look pretty fresh imo cant wait to see what it looks like

goodoldayz i got those overlays on ebay for like $12.00 shipped.

sourial84 thanks for the tips but i think i'm leaning more towards that brembo look like the hyundai genesis coupe or sti's or evos.The brembo logo in white,nothing too flashy.

alex|WILLIAM Thank you sir.

I actually got quoted $500.00 to get the roof painted black,but i might just hold off on that for now.I love that look on the new white nissan maximas with the black roof.

Shaving door handle key hole

gofasttl93 and Horditruck Thanks guys i bet your cars are just as sick as well.

Do it your self for $20.00.The part you going to need is a rear drivers door handle cover that comes painted to match your cars colour.

Tools needed:
- 90 degree small pick
- shirt or big rag(rolled up to create a mass)



Before


Install rag in between door handle to make it easier to remove old cover.With the pick pull old cover out.


Install new one in reverse order.The whole thing took literally 2 minutes.It's that easy.

Thanks mugen-k for providing all those part numbers saves me some time .
Thanks guys i think it looks a lot cleaner like that.In case your wondering ,i'm aware that if the battery dies i got to get it open somehow.It's so easy to remove and re-install i just couldnt resist.
goodoldayz i dont really see those little things too often but if i do i'll save them for you.

UPDATE:
The brembo calipers project is on hold for now,because i had a side job this weekend i just couldnt pass on.Nowadays you got to take everything you can,even if that means working in this 20 degrees weather.
