Ok you caught me. I thought about using this thread, but decided it would be easier to start another. Anyway, I will get some pics Monday, as I work weekends. and will update with what I have done, along with future plans.
Its not a lot of work but some aesthetic work. I don't have pics of everything but I will try to describe the best I can. All current work for the car is put on hold until January.
That way it gives me a little bit of time to save some money and collect my taxes, might purchase something big or a few small things. Will find out then.
Ok so here is a lot of picture of my car. WIll tell you what I was taking a picture of and what I did. So, without further adieu.
3M Di-noc carbon fiber wrap. The door woodgrain is done too, but looks like crap. I will redo it when the sun comes out.
Pioneer 4200 DVD, have had it for about 2 years. bought it used and it still works great.
Bass ****. Have to keep it low or I get a whole system cutout. I am thinking my alternator is on its last few legs.
I think there used to be cup holders here? Wait, yep, pretty sure there was. They are pieces of crap and didn't work half the time, so I glued the @%#$ out of it primed, painted, and cleared it. Looks pretty good for rattle can.
And here we have a sirius/xm radio cut into the armrest. When I redo the interior I will wrap material into the hole so the install looks better. This is why I glued the cupholder
LED cluster lights. All lights were replaced.
LED HVAC controls. Need some new ones. These are knock offs and are starting to flicker.
USB adapter in center console. Thinking about moving it and filling this hole.
Can you see the wires? Yeah me too. So its not 100% seamless install, but its pretty close
Sirius/XM radio up close and on. Got some tint to put on top of, because at night this is very blinding.
Red LED in ashtray/12V power. This desn't really get used.

Reason: Missarranged
Different angle of the headers. Can you see my lambda sensor plug. It works, but I need to get another plug.
OBX mid-pipe, if you can see it.
Cat-back 'Y' pipe.
HKS. You can read the rest.
And what it looks like coming out the bumper cover. If you notice my license plate is a little jacked up, some punk kid decided not to pay attention while driving on snow and ice and couldn't stop in time. It still pisses me off and this happened almost a year ago.
I think that about all the work I have done to it so far. There will be more to come just have to be patient. I had some Aristo tail light but the center garnish is all jacked up so I kept the GS300 one s on.
292,000 miles and still going that is awesome!!!! Is the Mishimoto IS300 radiator a direct bolt in? I am a little jealous of your strut tower brace. I have been looking for one. When I do get one I want to have it powder coated black to match the engine bay. Good idea for the arm rest it will look awesome when its finished!! Good job so far!!
Thank you. No the Mishimoto IS300 radiator is not a direct bolt in. You must use some ingenuity to get in but it work and wont break like the plastic pieces of #@%^. I hope to have a new interior in it by march.
Oh I figured something out that needs to be done before any other work starts on the car. The other day I had the wheels off to put my new HID's in and found that my upper ball joints boots are broken. Those things are only a year and half old. So I figured I would try to get some new ones. I also noticed that my car rides pretty hard, not like a dropped civic, but harder than what it should. That would something else to diagnosis and fix. Plus I need to get those window trim pieces. That is going to hurt my wallet bad.
