Thanks Cisco...I asked my parents for some money to help with the Clazzios...so we'll see how much I get. I'm going there the 19th-22nd...hopefully they will be feeling generous ;-). As soon as I get back to TX (they live in Louisiana), I will be ordering...whoot!

You people and your V.I.P. cars..... The GE models are worth the effort, especially the pretty white ones.

I know you aren't as slow as I am or you'd get run over by those kids you have to deal with..... You need to get a throttle controller.... That crazy thing is FUN, and you can adjust it at the touch of a button to make your car as docile as a 59 Rambler..... It is a breeze to install and there is a thread going on right now about them.... I am sure you would like it a lot..... I am very paranoid about the thing and have put my stock axle back pipe back on to avoid unwanted attention when I happen to put my right foot down too fast.... I will have to rotate my tires tomorrow because the front ones are wearing down very quickly.

LOL, I may have to look into that--although I'm a complete NOOB when it comes to installing anything electrical, so there is NO WAY I could install it myself.

They send a wiring harness that plugs into the computer diagnostic port under the dash.to the right of the steering wheel, and connects to that is about the size and 1/2 the thickness of a pack of Lucky Strikes that stashes under the dash and has one small cable to the match book size control box with 2 small buttons and red LED display window.... I used double stick Velcro to attach mine between the A/C controls and the glove compartment..... There is a thread with pictures and info on the one I bought.... There are 7 settings for the Sport mode and 5 for the Economy mode and the Normal mode is like the way it comes from the factory..... You just need to try it out on my car one of these days to see how it works.... It is insanely responsive on the SP7 setting and feels like an old Geo Metro on the EC5 setting.

Thank you, Thank you...(I seem to think your name is Mike, is that right?)

How about you get the best of both worlds? You're a baller--get you a fit, and swap it!!
You'll be and all the livelong day!

Where there is a will--there is a way!

The people that I've seen post that have seen one--say it's a better fit than in the GE's.
May want to contact Jpax and see if he can give you any insight.

Good luck man! I wish I was in Japan collecting parts :-(

Pictures of this knob do it NO JUSTICE. The colors are so rich and beautiful and just brighten up the entire interior.




It has blue, turquoise, purple, orange, red, gold, silver...just so gorgeous! I love it so much!

Whoa! your car is looking better and better with each mod. Did you have to cut part of the seat belt bracket to install the c-pillar bar?

Hey...I took the covers off (btw...a Honda source tells me the retail on the covers is under $5 each, so no big deal if you mess up)

After I took them off, I used small wire cutters to slowly clip away the part that matches the roof line. After I got enough cut off, I warmed the plastic up with a lighter and then sanded the rough edges/white part of the plastic. With that part cut off, the covers fit right back on, and if you have a dremel or superior cutting tool, yours will probably look a lot better. When I get a chance, I may order another set and borrow a saw and take my time to make them nicer. But for now, they look really good for the ghetto way I cut them.
