Sorry to ruin the page with a crappy shot after all this quality.

Gonna attempt pulling the dash this weekend and swapping in the new one. Ordered a new NRG slim hub and Nardi Deep Corn suede too.

Tabs are broken for the glove box. There's a hole in the dash above where the glove box goes as well.

New dash is in. What a pain in the ***. So much stuff to keep track of and remember where it went. Swapping all the parts over was no picnic either. There was a ground behind the cluster that threw me off for 30 minutes. So glad that's over.

Yes it was. Holy crap took forever to find where it went...lmao. I had a blue interior in a previous EG too. But that time I had a friend helping me that knew the ins and outs of it better.

Nice "heap".

Some of my other hatches over the years.

$500. Not worth it in a lot of people's minds...but spending what I've spent so far doesn't make a lot of sense either. It makes sense to me, it's about building it how I want. I'm 38, and have been into Honda's for 13 years, I have the money.

No, vents had to be replaced. Online vendors that are cheaper like majestic Honda wouldn't ship a dash, so I had to go local. You could order vents too if you need them. I cracked the top vent on the dash removing it, so I'll have to replace that.

I almost cracked my top vent until I realized that it pops up from the front of the dash.

Fresh red paint is almost as good as fresh black paint. You could always paint snowflake red and re-name her bloody snowflake?
