I'm not sure if I want to go with that look, but I wonder if I take my headlight apart, if I can take off the amber reflector to get the same Domani look.

I've seen a few people do that, it would give you the domani look of being all chrome although the corner indicator/park lights wouldn't have that ribbed prism that diffuses the light the same way the amber lens was designed to do.

If you look back a page at The Hire's photos near the bottom of the page, his second photo shows what the corner will look like. Yours will look like that only not painted. It's all personal preference

only reason I got mine was because i got a steal of a deal on them and my oem ones were chipped and hazy, otherwise I would have looked into modding them

SportEL

I see what you mean. The Domani ones have a foggy textured kind of look with the vertical grooves. I'd want to get clear side indicators to match.

That's another idea I can do if I can't think of what else to do with the car. I still have a number of things I want to do first.

But since i had a shot of mine at the same angle, i Photoshopped em on:

Nice Photoshop! I like that look. And then put a retrofit in there and I think it would look awesome.

If you guys want to insert an in-cabin filter, you can get one for you EL/Domani too. I did this almost 2 years ago.

what did u have to do to fit the 04-05 leathers if u don't mind me asking........ I have a set that is just collecting dust in my garage

SportEL

You have to reuse the 97-00 Side Bolsters and Seat Cushion, and wrap the 04-05 Leather covers on them. The Seat backs fit no problem.


For those wondering about the RSX seats, they aren't bolt in either. Custom brackets had to made for all 4 corners. That is the best way to do it. You cut off the existing tabs on the RSX seat, and weld in new brackets. I had the 02-04 seats before that had metal extensions on the existing tabs, and that worked well too, but if you get custom brackets for the back, the seat will sit lower. It felt about an inch or so lower.

Looks good, Sport.

I also have the premium trim with leather heated seats and soon I'll be combating typical winter Nova Scotian temps

I quite like the look of the 1.7EL rears, also much cheaper then DB8-R or Ferio VI-RS swaps!

Is that also a 1.7el steering wheel?

SportEL

Cheaper seats to get, but you have to spend money for an upholsterer to do the swap. So not that cheap in the end. They did a great job. The seat buckles actually go up through the seats instead of coming behind it so they have to cut holes in the original seat foam and stitch the leather altogether.

No, 1.7EL steering wheels are 4 spoke, and won't work on 97-00s. Mine is an 05-06 Acura RSX steering wheel with working cruise control

SportEL

Also, my Other interior mods are JDM CTR pedal set and Ferio Tweeter Pods and JDM Sunglass holder.


The Arkon Cell Phone Mount is perfect for the air vent. The phone stays put through hard corners no problem. It's fully adjustable for vertical and horizonal viewing and angle tilt adjustments.

Does anyone know the front brake rotor size for an MB4? It's a RHD Japan model. I've scoured the interwebs and found nothing useful other than it might be 9.something or 10.something inches in diameter.

SportEL

^It's the same as US Honda Civic EX/Si, 10.3". There shouldn't be a difference with RHD model.


Got tint for my car 2 months ago. Not too dark, not too light. I was really going back and forth for years on getting tint or not, and I'm really glad I did. It's 40% all around. I like the uniform look. It's lifetime warranty, and blocks 99% of UV rays and 29% of solar energy.
