to the antenna.

Splash guards arent it though, theyve been on the car for awhile now. Right quantity, but further away then chill_dogs guess though


The sharkfin antenna looked too bulky and the shorty antenna was $12 shipped on ebay. Its much less noticeable. I wish we didnt have an antenna on the roof though

center caps?

I am really surprised that cars today come with big roof-mounted antennas. The 10 year old CL has an in-glass one.

Bingo! I picked up the Volk low type Club Sport center caps. The faded gold and silver caps I had before looked horrible IMO.

New centercaps look great, Morgan. Can you get a closer pic of how they used to look and how they look now?
I think the old ones were the VR (every time I see those, it think of Virtual Reality...remember those video games in the mall in the late 90's?)

I was gonna say tire shine

Centre caps look nice though, I like the subtle contrast.

Wash the CL!

Yea, they were the VR caps. If they were still mint I wouldnt have changed them, but the silver and gold was flaking off the "carbon" was faded.

I don't remember anything about spacers, and in the last pics I saw it didn't look like they were on there ...doesn't mean they weren't mentioned, though . I was thinking the center caps, but got tired of looking to verify potential changes so I gave up. Since I was unaware of the spacers, I'll consider myself correct. I await my prize. Oh, and antenna's suck.

Since I didnt officially post pics of the spacers, Ill consider your guess correct

And yes, external antennas suck.

Ever thought about relocating the antenna, shouldn't be too hard pull it out extend the cables if needed, and move it to the back window and fill the hole....

Heh, fill the hole


Yea, but I dont want to do body work on a new car, especially for such a small annoyance. The only way Id do it is if I were to get a CF roof - not an overlay, a replacement roof skin made of carbon fiber Its made in Japanland though, so the JDM tax will be a killer, and then shipping on top of that

Yes JDM roof skins are killer. Spoon makes one for the FD2 and it is $5k
