    Finally got the seat in. I wish they could have just made rails for our cars, it would have saved me A LOT of time!

    If you check out the steering column, you can see where the attempted theft damage is.

    Thanks Eric.
    I absolutly love the projector headlights. They look good during the day and awesome at night. I'll take some night pictures so you guys can get an idea of how they look. The seat is really comfortable, but a little expensive for my tastes ($575.00U.S. list price). I am working on a tailight conversion right now so I'll let you guys know how it will be in the end. Lots of work, but all in fun. I just wish that I had more time to work on my car. I don't like getting others to do my work. It's all about pride right!

    The center console is actually a dealer option that I got back in '91. My sales slip says it was $250.00 plus $40.00 for install. I guess they are pretty rare nowadays, but I would honestly rather have the Integra console because it's a little larger. Also, the dash os from a CRX. Can't really see it but I also have the power windows, mirrors, and for those who are really JDM conscience.......door panels. You really need to know what you are looking for on these ones. Check the checkered pattern on the panel inserts and if you look REALLY hard, they have chrome inserts on the top where the inside part meets the window.

    They are Aerogear fenders and they cost me $570.00CAD from the local shop in Calgary. I got them special ordered and they were actually for a CRX. No big deal, they are the same. The fenders come with a ID number that is embedded in the fender, so those pesky thieves can get caught. They are also gelcoated so they are extremely well built. If anybody gets them, instalation is self explanatory if you have taken fenders off before so don't pay someone to do them. I think you can get them at www.nopionline.com for $300.00US plus shipping.

    Well, I got the Momo 2pc. race seat and they didn't have any rails for the 88-91 Civic. What I did is custom build a bottom "frame" on the seat. The bolt holes at the bottom of the seat holds the frame while my factory bolt hole locations holds the entire seat and frame to the floor. Then, I had to raise the rear left part of the seat because of the floor. The right side of the floor is raised 1" and some odd compared to the left side. I put a "box" type thing welded on the frame to level the seat. Now I'm going to have to do the passenger side, but that should be easy because I'll build a new frame with the same measurements and flip it around. It's quite a good experience and looks great.

    P.S. Do you guys think I should have got the yellow alcantera inserts instead of the red...or is it all good? I just need to know. Here's a link to what the seat looks with the yellow inserts.
