check the link in my sig, it shows all the mods ive done so far. i replaced the gauge cluster, got bored with the non-lit 130mph cluster, and put in an integra gauge cluster. 150mph speedo, amber needles. its a lot better laid out, and looks better too.

tru dat... it'll look really good done right, but it all just depends on the quality of paint u use and quality of the job u do. thats what makes the difference.

48 hours
28.5 cans of spray paint
$75 worth of materials can only add up to only one thing.

One word. FlatBlack


Oops. I forgot. Inside the car , not outside. hehe

hey its not bad. i want to do the inside black, someone write up a diy?
ok here it is:

get duplicolor or plastikote vinyl dye from autozone, pepboys, advance auto, etc.
take out your interior panels (refer to haynes manual or honda manual, theres a thread in archived diy's that links to them)
clean them with simple green or some other cleaner to insure paint adherence
paint in 3-5 LIGHT!!!! coats using even, sweeping motions
let it dry, the vinyl dye stuff takes under 5-10 mins. it dries really fast
put it back in and admire (oh and take back out and touch up every once in a while to take care of scratches)
