^ Bad comparison, but we had Sumitomo HTR A/S P02 on our Civic & I was really surprised with how well they handled. A little loud road noise wise, but have also heard from other users that they've had good results with them as well.
Not gonna lie... I pop into this thread every so often and you guys motivate me to look around CL and eBay for an early AP2. I'm sure I could convince the wife to let me drop $15k-$17k on another car
Hey guys...in case you feel like tackling your dash bulbs...
I ended up posting in s2k since all the older and OP pic links were broken.
Not too hard to do, but definitely not something I'd want to have to revisit by doing LED. Dave, you sure you checked your start button with key in ignition? That's the only time it comes on.
here it is all out...
here are the bulbs and assembly out for the main bulbs
should have done this first, had to pop it back in and then I marked which bulbs were bad and which weren't...
on the AC side, you'll need to pop the rear cover off to get at 2 of the bulbs...it makes it a LOT easier to get at the exposed bulbs too.
Here are some of the bulbs...
here's the starter button assembly taken apart to swap the bulb...I almost thought I had an issue, then realized it only lights up with key in ignition and ready to start, NOT with the parking lights like the others.
Here you can see the 4 - 12MM bolts/nuts you'll have to mess with...remove the ones closest to you (nuts)...loosen the ones furthest from you (pictured next)...move the plastic foot vent out of the way by pulling on the black clip...
Follow OP's tip to lower those out as much as possible then thread them back in a bit so you get the most room you can.
Don't forget to put the upper steering assembly cover back in before bolting the column back up...I had to retrace that step.
J, if I lived in Florida, I would pay you a monthly fee to take your OCD out on my car(s). I'm too lazy to do shit myself these days lol.
+1, want to come install a few things for me?

Would not even attempt the soft top on my own. The risk of it looking like sh1t is too high and too expensive to not hire it out to someone that knows what they are doing.

I will say though, having a newborn will slow my shit down quite a bit.
I has baby now...as of last Monday, thank you boys!
I'm in love...
Nawww...with the top, it's all in buying the right one and just taking your time. I'm tempted to get a blue OEM one that's on sale for $765...blue on yellow could look cool...but Betty would probably veto and tell me to go black and probably be right...plus the Haartz Stayfast cloth is 100 less and supposedly harder to clean but much more robust and already reinforced in trouble areas.
