So here it is installed back in. Dupli-color metal-somethingorother paint. Didn't take long at all and looks fantastic for $4.50.
Getting there. Would love to figure out how to take off that plastic engine cover so I could paint that as well.
Maybe a bit difficult to see, but the LED bezels are on and working. I wired them so they only come on with the headlights. For me, they're just too bright for day use...as stupid as that sounds. Meh, personal preference.
The is the generic shark fin antenna from ebay that I got and installed a while back.
Got probably the best compliment on Foxy so far. Was at a gas station and guy asked how old she was. I told him a year and a half, and he said he'd never seen that trim. Fantastic compliment as I'm trying to make Foxy look like what Honda would have done if they did make a Type R.
$12 job on changing out the shift boot and candying up the silver trim surround. I think it looks sick. Finally got the red LED dome bulbs in and secured the ambient foot well lights.

Once my Clazzios arrive, I believe I will be done with the interior...for now.
Looks good. I'm planning on ordering the same but doing a gloss black to give the front end some contrast
That'll look great! I, in my infinite wisdom, ordered the variety with the carbon fiber texturing on parts. Unless I want to spend a weekend sanding and filling, it's gonna just get clear coated on those portions.
I've really got to work on my photography skills...can't see the red floor well lights. I'm very pleased with the seats. 9 weeks is a helluva wait, but they look freaking MAAAAAD! I also haven't taken the time to go back and properly fit them on the seats. Been a busy week. If you look close, you can see that I've started the final phase of my interior...
Annnnd the flip side. Be advised, to get the fabric inserts out (the white hard plastic portions) you'll need a heat gun to loosen up the plastic that's been melted in place (cheap bastards couldn't be bothered to use screws all the way around).
Traced onto the (p)leather that matches the Clazzio's. Shout out to Jackman's fabric in Fairview Heights, IL.

Painting/clearing the remaining trim tomorrow and hitting the embroidery store Monday. Should have Foxy's interior done before the end of the holiday weekend, then she goes into cold storage for 6 months.
So the interior is done. I'm very proud of my work (not so much my sad photography skills), and it is all my work! Thanks to all the folks on FitFreak. I learned so much more than I could say. I started out scared to touch anything inside to getting Foxy looking this good.
There's still so much to do under the hood and to the exterior, but that will be put on hold until spring when I get back. I'll still be active in the forums, but Foxy will be in cold storage starting in October...giving me plenty of time to save for when I'm back!!!
How'd you remove the silver trim from around the air vents above the radio? Mine got blemished from an air freshener drip and I've been wanting to repaint it.
It shows you've put a lot of work into your car. Come back safe wherever you're going
To get the trim both around the driver's side vent and above the radio, you need to remove the speedo surround (gently pull and it should come off). From there, its easy to see how.
Thanks Rismo, thankfully I'm going nowhere dangerous this time around. Worst I have to worry about is the over abundance of super cars.
Also, $474...UGH!
