Thanks man! I love it! I'm still going to be looking for the oem carbon shifter trim piece but until then this will do.
I started on the wheels last night, primered 2 / 4 going to do the other 2 tonight and hopefully lay some paint down this weekend.!

Next project is sorting out the front fog.
So got the oem fogs earlier like a month or 2 ago with the full harness un cut.
So i inspected the wiring and trying to figure out what goes where and i think i have it all figured out. Some of the connections are corroded so i bought new wires to replace it with. Time to create a fresh harness
.

Also picked up an oem shifter off a 2004 1.7 Acura EL and i believe it goes very well with the carbon wrapped consol compared to the oem prelude shifter. I also got the trim piece that goes below the shifter which i will swap out later on.
Here is the oem prelude shifter:

And the Acura EL shifter.

Started on 2 of the wheels with white plastidip and i'm really happy how well it turned out. Need to peel off the dip from the sidewall but overall I'm happy. The other 2 i will use cue cards or something to keep it off the tires its actually harder than i thought to peel off.....
After 2 coats

4 coats....

6 coats...

Lined it up to see how it would look and pretty happy with it.

Baking in the sun

While the wheels were baking I got around to replacing the aftermarket fogs with oem fogs with HIDs
5 plug switch installed

The wiring harness i got with the oem fogs was complete but it was a mess! Took me a long time to figure out how it all works together, once i figured it out i re ran some new wires and fixed any broken connectors etc.....

^ Thanks buddy, ya i love it as well. It was a pain to do and especially hard getting it to curve properly and so far its holding up pretty nicely. Haven't had any bubbling or peeling yet so im pretty satisfied with it.
