Thanks but i already have a DA cluster

I'm feeling the black instead of a gold or bronze honestly. Maybe even a silver? Heck, you could even consider polishing them if you had the time.

I am thinking about keeping them black. If I went with polished rims I would prob. try to pick up a set of 99 si wheels.

Today I am going to TRY to start working on the rims. Sanding Sanding Sanding. When I get the rims completely done and sanded I will go ahead and paint them and the front bumper.

I am really wanting to change my oil BUT I am wanting to use the honda oem oil filter. I cannot find where that guy is that was selling them on HT. If anyone knows where the link is PLEASE send it my way. I will update with some pictures of what all I have done today alittle later. Thanks.

How much for the armrest? You can fix the climate control and make it look like new.

I am looking to get atleast 200+ from the armrest. I know its kinda high but they are going for 250 easy all day on ebay.

Yea the climate contoll doesnt bother me at all. I am going to epoxy it up first and if that doesnt work I will just buy a plate.

honda used to sell oil filters manufactured by wix. I think what the sell now is equivalent to fram. just go to NAPA auto parts and get the $3 filter manufactured by wix and call it a day.

what color are you going respray the car?

I am thinking about keeping the car the color it is. My old lady likes it pretty well.
The original color of the car was silver...god how I wish it was still its stock color!

If you are interested in painting your car, i have a buddy here in louisville that would do it for a good price, as long as there is not major body damage or rust. Here are some pics of cars he has painted, he painted both 240's in the pics below. The red one is his.










The AE86 he just finished





right now his is working on another buddys s14, and will be starting on my CRX soon. If you are interested let me know and i will give you his number.

Thanks alot though and its great to see other cars from around here. Are you going to all the meets this year?

Last night I went and picked up some trim pieces from one of my other crx's. I am thinking the car would look better with black trim instead of everything painted blue. I sanded them down and when it warms up alittle bit I am going to paint them black with some bumper paint. I found these peices hard to get off without breaking the little clips. Is there a easyer way of doing this.

I will have pictures up later when I get the rims sanded. Thanks.

If you're gonna paint the wheels, might I recommend satin black instead.

PS
Don't give-up on the red OEM bumper. It looks better than the body-kit one.

Satin black sounds good to me also! I know i am going to rock the 89 front bumper till I can find me a 90-91 one.
