Pballer2005 Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 very clean. are you going to do anything for the suspension to make it handle a little better or just maybe put new stock replacement parts in? how did you refasten the door inserts back onto the door? i followed some diy instructions i found on hondatech to reskin my armrests and they said to use a certain type of screw but they were too long and started poking throught the door, so now i need new door panels.
Humphries Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 awesome.. love the attention to detail and the color is perfect.
EJ1Mek Posted July 22, 2009 Author Posted July 22, 2009 for suspension im going with Buddy Club N+ Damper kit .
