thanks dude^, i pmd you a while back...






I did get around to sewing up the holes in the seat bolsters from the old armrests...

Luckily when I installed the old armrest I didn't actually trim off any of the old fabric, so I just sewed it back up...

I'm satisfied with the results, that is- you have to patch it up some how, right?

Always liked the Element. If I was ever going to get an SUV it would be one of these. Good choice on ditching the chrome rims. They looked out of place.

Edit: I'm thinking about trading in my 09 civic for one. I'm looking for a reputable used car dealership. Is Indianapolis Used Cars dealer worth checking out?

painted my rims today...

against my own desires to paint orange (i currently am obsessed with all things orange), i decided the black would look best...

anywho...







i also just painted center caps black too










also i think towhook sticks out about 2 or 3 inches too far, will rectify that situation when i order new fogs...

aslo just checked my email, AND MOAR PARTS WERE JUST DELIVERED to my house, as my obsession with the SC interior continues....

Honestly, I think orange would have set this car off right!

Black is alright too, lol.

Looks good man, keep it up.

Congrats on the engagement/marriage too!

From looking at your wheel prep pictures, I thought of something dope if you had large rim lips. Yes, deck of car pattern all around the lip. :D

Coming along pretty well too. You paint matching the plastic panels?

i dunno whats next?... i had it for sale for a while but i think im gonna hold on to it... i would like to buy tien full coilover system- smaller tires/bigger rims and get it as low as possible... replace the majority of the interior with black oem SC pieces... and eventually have it painted... o i need a new hood... and driverseat is starting to look well used... maybe s2000 seats... i could go on for days...............

i would love to auto x this summer, but the scene in spokane is weak, as far as i know. and its next to impossible to see another tastefully modded vehicle- not that mine is all that tastefully modded... lols...
