dook it took about 2hrs just to take covers and everything off. i put it back together after i inspected the belt, because i bought a aftermarket from oriley's and wanted to go OEM. plus the mount being shot i didn't want to chance the putting a crappy belt on especially when the belt with 100k on it looks better then the new one. @ guitarplayer i whated the hawaiian plam there next one's i will maybe at the beach. thank guys for the comment. @ steve i am still kinda learning how to play on here kinda still a FNG

vietx they are 17 and MSW's they were on the car when i bought it. some of the center pieces say they are from OZ racing. at least i can say the gurl i bought it from did that right because rims needed rubber and rotors changed. @ dip thanks for the comment. you helped me out with installing my ISIMPLE when i first got my ride. OMNUTS thank i will soon. I am thinking of doing NON navi to NAVI swap. soon if i can get the cash up. if i didn't have my house i would be able to do so much more to my car.

Non Navi to Navi swap? As in putting Acura full Nav in a car that came with no nav? Can you tell me how much of a nightmare this is? Cost?
