I have ordered so many parts for this thing this month already its insane. I have ordered a new trunk spoiler, front lip from WW and have gotten the back leather seat installed, along with covering the back inserts with black leather. I still have to get the front seats from the 2003 ready to install in the place of the gray cloth fronts then cover the console lid and front door panel inserts with black leather and the interior will be done for now

Yep, it's an oem acura cover, and it covers both ww lips and almost completely covers my 18's

I'm not garaging the car btw, just covered her while I was treating my new shoes with water repellent

Good looking cover. I've got a cheapy from Walmart that covers alright, but I never seem to want to use it till it's too late

And why's your car on that side of the garage? It won't make it out of the driveway from that side...

I know that side is rough, I haven't driven it much since the meet cuz I need to fix up the rear lip, so I switched it back over to put my truck back in the garage, plus I kicked the bitch out so I have both sides accessible at all times now

got the 2003 passenger seat in but think I am going to have to take it back out tomorrow because on the 2003 the ABS module was attached to the bottom of the seat and I left mine where it was attached to the floor and I think its rubbing because you have to push it to get it to go all the way up when you are trying to get out of the back seat. Also got the rear spoiler today and hope to get it painted tomorrow as well

I've driven mine twice I think since the meet. And living with mom and dad means I have no garage space accessible to park the car And every time I think about covering it, I'm too tired or too lazy, and then the next day it rains and the car is covered in dirt again

Black interior with 2nd gen seats sounds nice. I have a black 98/99 CL center console piece that you can have. There are scratches on both the driver and passenger side. Other than that, it's fine and I have no use for it.

Not today, but about a week ago, I did quite a few things. Took shit apart all over the place trying to find holes or what have you in the AC system. Couldn't find anything. Still no clue what's going on with it (for about 2 years now?). It's starting to get cooler out anyway, so not too much sweat anymore.
Figured out why my one turn signal in the rear would sometimes work and sometimes not. Some rust was impeding the spring loaded contact from meeting the bulb well. So I cleaned that bitch out good and now it works fine.
Driver side HID is always going in and out, so, like always, I reconnected everything on that side, and it's working fine for now.
Tightened up the anchor bolts on the upper control arms, because apparently I didn't do it tight enough last time, and they were clanking a bit.
Used some packing tape on the license plate because my ghetto-fab bracket fell apart.
Took the intake manifold apart and cleaned the shit out of everything - ports, runners, both egr ports, IACV, and throttle body. Didn't replace the EGR valve or install the little plastic straw thing, but whatever, that's easy if I want to later, and I wasn't trying to go buy more shit on a deadline.
But the car feels SO good, I might have to start giving it more love. I'm not sure if I've ever felt it respond like this, now that everything is squeaky clean in there and it has a new, reinforced transmission
Also signed up for motorcycle classes today.. so that love may be redirected soon.

Its going to be probably saturday before I can get the drivers seat installed because I have a sick child and don't want to take the seat out/apart and her call me to come get her from School and me have to sit on a bucket all the way to Cherryville to pick her up. I am hoping the Drivers seat goes a little easier than the passenger side went since it was a trial and error kind of thing but the drivers being power may pose problems I didn't have on the passenger side. As soon as I get my welder here I am going to cut and weld the power tracks from the second generation to bolt into the car but until then the passenger side is on the manual track from the 1st gen seats. The second gen track is about 2 inches longer than the 1st gen so the front holes line up but the rears are way off. I knew my daughter has been feeling bad and thats why I went ahead and painted and installed the spoiler today instead of working on the driver seat

got the 2003 drivers seat installed today and all wired up. Now I have to find a switch for the heated seats and also noticed there is no wiring hooked to the blank in the console so if its not in there somewhere I will have to wire the heated seats up to the switch as well. It was dark by the time I got the seat installed so it will be tomorrow before I get any pictures taken. The only problem I had was I had to make some custom cables to hook from the seat release 9that makes the seat fold forward to get out of the back seat) the rest wasn't all that bad. I took out the side air bags from both seats and filled them with some extra foam in their place just so I didn't have those wires under the seat not being used
