I'm curious was everything pretty much plug up with the existing hardware? Sorry not having any luck wiht the searching. Perhaps my keyword searches are off. Do you have link to a write up or thread to assist with the install? I like how the interior is. How hard was it getting the LCD in the middle? and routing the deck on the bottom?

i found a better picture of that guys interior



i believe he told me everything was bolt in, for the steering wheel, you just have to trim the cruise control piece from the old steering wheel and bolt it into place on the new steering wheel.

btw, he has a carputer and it's custom, pretty easy to do. i think he's on civicforums.com

That happens with any seat, though. I hate "wear and tear". What ever happened to invulnerable seats?

If you have high-bolsters on the side of a cloth seat, they'll deteriorate as well.

The reason I have moved my seat back everytime I have got out of my EP3 since day one. Seems EP3 seats last pretty long anyways (I've seen some with 150k+ miles and look good, no rips).

I can't move my seats back any further. I sit with them in the full-back position.
