yeah the previous owner, twinlex, upgraded most of the interior to 01+. since it was a 98 the interior was bland and he decided to make it look like a 01+. it is basically the same ashtray but the wood lid comes off with brackets.

i manage a pre-owned luxury and sports car business that also sell accessories and do modifications such as paint, carbon, etc... things of that nature. i don't want to go too much into detail since my boss' business is not a vendor yet here. but you get the picture. thanks for the kind words.

Sweet... Document the process and make a DIY!

I actually had a pair for my old Acura TL-S but I never got around to installing them because I couldn't figure out how and there wasn't much information on how to do it... even information from other cars. I still have the mirrors... just not the car

lol it is easy the one outside. the one inside usually only comes out on weekends or show days, or when the GF is in town. otherwise i choose between the gs4 and the 4runner. 4runner if it is raining lol. feels good. but i am selling the gs4 to my cousin in a few weeks so it'll be back to pimpin the 4runner
