So here that update I was talking about that I've been trying to keep a secret and haven't told anyone even about the idea because I wanted to wait until I actually did it and see how it looked:

wanted to get something to match my s2k antenna




installed:


Yes, its JDM climate control that i "ruined"
but I couldn't see myself doing it on a USDM one
cause then I'd never use my JDM one and it would just be a waste
It was "risky" but i think it was worth it

and before the smart asses say what I know they will say
I don't have a heater core/fan, so no need for controls as i'm sure you're wondering what I'm going to do without them
Even if I had heat and needed fan controls
I'd find a way to "tuck" it and still be able to use them.

That said, let me know what you think
and if you're wondering...the ergonomics/location/position is perfect
very natural turning the key on then pressing the button
even better than s2k/dc5/fd2/OEM I would even say (at least the LHD ones with them cause its on the opposite side of the ignition)

More/better pics of it installed in the car coming soon....

oh and here was my inspiration:


wanted to do match or exceed the cleanliness of the installation

might post a DIY thread of somesort myself

p.s. if u haven't figured it out
I'm home for a couple days!
which means del sol time

Wow!!!! That looks awesome and OEM. But now you need to repait or remove the "off auto -----" from the control now. Thats fricking perfect

:drool: BTW ward im putting in that rear panel this weekend. only took me a month or two to do it LOL

I just finished getting the two center nuts off at lunch. And whoever told me it was a 20 minute job lied or didnt have to do those. I spend 30 minutes on just those two. the other four were cake though once I got the trim and carpet off.

The outside mirrors and the exterior door handles that are all body color on USDM sols.

Here's two Euro Sols with black mirrors and door handles.

@ Wray
Glad you received the package. Was starting to think the package took a boot trip instead of a plane ride!
Looking forward to seeing some new pictures.

Man. That vtec sol for 3500 is a steal.

It makes consider getting in to debt for it, but I know if I do, I'll never finish the hatch.

Morning fellas

Thats a nice Sol you got there!

Here's some more silver Sols:




I'm going to bed now, got a nasty throat infection.
Need to take a rest from all these Sols.

Goodnight everybody
