the 2 front mounts some what fit. i had to widen the hole to mount them .. as of now im only mounted on 2 front mounts. the rear have to be completely cut off and re-welded. im going to do a writeup about it once i get situated with this wedding stufff. cause it has to be done. The ONLY thing i have a prob with is Leg room. Im 6'1 tall and its Just perfect with seat rolled all the way back to where it wont go further. for me its fine, if some one taller than me gets in, they wont have a good time. so maybe ill re weld it to old rails or try to figure something out. Other than that these seats ROCK... very awesome and flow with the interior really well. hope this helps

dont have alot of time to do much on this car with the wedding coming up in a week, but got a chance to mess with the cluster.

took it apart and made a way for the Si badge to glow, along with the RPM Redline. Looks legit love it.

Small update.

Got new Tires mounted. 165-50-15... it dropped the car about another inch or so, But now with such small tires i have a wheel gap, so ill be lowering it about another half inch.

Ordered Hubcentric 20MM spacers with APR extended hub bolts to space out the rear wheels and make them flush with the body. that comes in next week.

Also got a wedding present from my tint guy. Let him cruise around while i was on my honeymoon and he tinted my windows how i like em.... 2% rear window, 20% on sides and 30% on the windshield with rayband tint this stuff is amazing... (Flamesuit: -ON- )

starting with wetsand and prep for paint next week!

this is how the car sits as of now.

i used wet sand paper 1000 grit with some small ammounts of water obviously dont douse the thing in water but now and then keep the paper moist...sand untill u see the SI through the white finish under the black finish... then take a black sharpie and go around the areas to keep it clean... i also did the same with my RPM redline... looks amazing.. really sets the dash apart.

it is finished! It came out better than expected untill i started to clear... the booth i rented sucked...
then the wind picked up hard, and i got a bunch of trash in my clear... FTL...
anyhow Yeeeey, im gonna have a BLAST wet sanding clean now....
the front bumper for some reason started to peal as i laid the paint, stupid after market garbage.,, i have to get a new bumper now cause no matter how good ill sand it something is in this Jap plastic, its prob the japs revenge for Hiroshima ...

ill be assembeling it tomorrow. we'll see how it goes... for the most part (if not for the trash in the clear) it came out pretty good. cant wait to see how it will bling in the sun ,
