Default Accord in progress

Sup all, though i share.
3 weeks of having the accord
Installed carbon fiber bezel trim, pretty easy just to get to it, just gotta take off the middle console and then theres 2 screws underneath the ac and 1 underneath the cruise control
Also did the leather wrap steering wheel, took me about 1 hour.
cant really see it in this pic but the cf it looks really realllllllly nice

almost finished dynamating the trunk, i found out that it works better when the dynamat is warm before sticking it on. It conforms to curves much easier, sticks better

Took off the chrome from the license plate trim and cleared out the turn signals,
just stick a drill in there and drill out the yellow pieces, and Walllaaa, JDM clear taillights. (look how clean it is)
and the prelude rims look decent.

gonna lower with neuspeed sport and koni adjustables soon, just gotta find the time.

Nice. I like the wheels. And yes.....lower the biatch! Not much for leather wrapping (Got a Momo Team waitin to go in...just need hub) And you must've found the C/F instrument thing off ebay huh? hehe

I like the Dynamat......I probably HAVE to dynamat at least the trunk floor to keep exhaust waves quieter...(my girl's expecting)

is it a boy or a girl?

i read on here, that dynamat doesnt keep the car quiet, they suggest other stuff, just do a search on it and save some money.

yeah im an ebay king, 104+ no -s or neutrals.
if they sold food, i buy it from them hehehe

$16 at local automotive store, pepboys, make sure you get the WIDE one, some of them dont fit.
or you can get it at the dealer but it cost $60
i might try to find an ex strerring wheel at a junkyard, it already has the leather wrap.

Thanks KTeller.

Tweak: Dunno yet. Ultrasound's next Wednesday.

Anyway, yea I ebay a lot too. LOLZ.

Also what should I put in the search to find out what to quiet the exhaust down? I already have a 22" long Cherry bomb muffler to act as a resonator and it's still kinda loud. I might have to reinstall the OEM muffler but GOD it sucks. What can I do to still run a performance exhaust yet have it "quiet"??

o_rage_o said this "STOPPING NOISE
To stop noise you need something that will absorb the sound, ie. carpet padding, foam spray, liner etc. This stuff will hinder the sound from actually reaching your ears."
