Just to keep you guys up to date I didn’t get much done over the weekend due to rain. But I managed to get a few things done.

Took the carpet out so it could be cleaned. Used my handy dandy carpet cleaner that has attachments on it with some high traffic, heavy duty carpet cleaner. Cleaned up very nicely.

Also got my air bag for the steering wheel off a Toyota Rav than I put a TRD sticker on it replaces the Toyota symbol. I didn’t like the IS3 air bag because it has the ugly hump in the middle of it which I hate about that wheel and still waiting for the wheel itself. It’s off a 2001 Toyota corolla with no cruise control or buttons on it

Also got started on the RSX seats, got the sliders and took of the Mounty tabs from the oem rail.

Tonight I hope to get the seats installed and the interior back in because it will be the last day to work on the car before my knee surgery Wednesday

Anyway, so shes all packed up for a few weeks due to knee surgery tomorrow and I wont be able to get anthing done for 2-3 weeks But hey at least I get a chance to master the new BLACK OPS

Here are the last few shots I took along with a link that helped me get these seats mounted.

What’s up guys haven’t posted in a while from being out from knee surgery but I was able to acquire some sweet parts while laying around searching the web so if you all can guess what the last few pics are hiding ill post up in full detail. one of them I worked on with Broda805

For tonight, the plan is to finish getting the interior all back in. Carpet, rear window trims, belts ect.

But for now, here are some teaser pics! door trims are done to match all the other wood trims.

Got some work done last night but not what I had hoped. Actually took longer than I thought it would.

Reskinned the rear grills. They were first SEM dyed but after sitting in the sun for a bit, they got these bubbles that made it look like s***. So I got 20 bucks worth of speaker grill mesh on eBay that could probably do about 20 of these and reskinned the grills. They turned out really nice. And sense I have 6.5" rear speakers I drilled some holes in the grill to open up the space for sound to come through. Than I painted them before wrapping the tan so the black plastic wouldn’t show through the mesh. Was well worth it

Also installed black seat belts as well.

Anymore guesses as to what color the calipers are and what’s in the box?!?

Thank you Sir! It was well worth the couple hours to get it perfect. I'm also going to fix up the fronts. Maybe tonight.
