Did some work before and after Street Scene (had a great time):
Bought some door sills off ebay UK- showing the first pic to show the red, which is washed out on the installed picl
Those Type R LHD mats really suck and the holes at the bottom don't match up, btw. I went back to my good set of Si mats instead; mucho bettero.
Trial fitting of the ABS cover (from the Facebook group buy):
Not too happy with the fitment, so am going to cut back the outside so it fits better with everything. Also get a new front nut - it looks obvious how grody it is when contrasting with the white.
Finally, did the David Ortiz hood prop mod. I played with the first strut too much, and the metal retainer at the bottom didn't hold enough, so ordered another one and it will be going on when I have time. The "kit" that David sells does its business quite well; the only difficulty is getting a 13mm wrench underneath that corner to hold the nut in place while tightening the bolt at the top.
Picked up a set of used door panels from someone local. They're from an 03, so they have the black window switches, which was an unexpected bennie. Just ordered the red fabric for the faux Type R treatment and an RSX black door lock switch. Has anyone found a way to get the interior door release to be black too? It looks like there's no oem black replacement, which would leave paint or wrapping, neither of which I'm really excited about. Any experience appreciated!
