Im pretty sure the only thing to cure faded paint... Is sandpaper!

I would go to an upholsterer and see if they can find a material that best matches the style thats currently in your interior.

 

Don't respond again without pics haha

Ironically I just got back from driving my 88HF I just got from Cali. You have a way further drive than me being in Ohio. Hopefully you aren't the one that brought it back.


Buff out the paint with a high speed buffer. As far as the seat covers, there are usually some nice ones on egay, but I would recomend either taking it to an upostry shop, or buy seats in better condition.

 

please dont do seat covers, si seats are so clean get some new ones or get them re-upholstered.

 

yeah, no on the seat covers...Si seats are hella sexy, wish i had some

 

Not sure were to start...intake,exhaust,..??..NEED more power!!

Those are good starts. At least you have an Si. My car is almost half the power of yours. I will be doing the same mods too btw. I am more interested in mpg than performance. I have another CRX for going fast.

Here is my thread about my Cali purchase:
