  • Thanks mrb :) it was worth the hassle to get everything together.

    I'll have one up of it on the car. :)
  • Went to the junkyard today and found an armrest from a 90-93 accord! What a great find! :) its cracked in one spot at the base, but it is in great condition still. I dyed it black, and im currently washing the upholstery. Fits nice and is going to be comfy!
  • Finished the arm rest. fits nicely.

    I have to say that the rear one looks brand new.

    Awesome Wagon, I love the look of the hatch when its sticker bombed.
  • Looks great! I like the mix and match of parts....reminds me of something...hahah!
  • :) what's that?

    Are those Falken RT-215?

    Jeebus, those must be old! lol
  • Yeah i bought them from a guy who let them sit in a garage for ages it seems. :) im wearing them off because they are wayyyy to tall for these rims.

    I went to a local car show on labor day. 500+ cars showed up O-o it was huge. I managed to be one of the main cars featured.

  • Switched out the 6k HIDs in the wagon for the 8k blue in my integra. Got my yellow 9005's in as well. Started removing the stickers on the back. Ordered a B&M dual bend short throw, blackworks bushings and a new black suede shift boot with the red stiching. Lots of pictures to come in the next 2 weeks.

    :)
  • why are you removing the stickers?? I loved that! and what size rims are those with how much drop?
  • lol I dunno i removed the top portion but i left the bottom section stickered. I felt like it was too much. The rims are 15" +0 offset with skunk 2 lowering springs which are like 2.5".

    I just bought some used skunk 2 coilovers, I plan on just using the rears to put it down more. And just a couple more updates:

    Yellow 9005s (very bright and much more yellow than stock.

    The hood bra came today too.

    And the last update. I started re=painting the rims a different color. What do you guys think?

    I love the fitment of those wheels dude. I got 16" offroad grid that are probably going to sit like that. And did you get the corner pieces of the bra that go on the fender?
  • I still think you need higher offset wheels, those stick out too far, and prevent you from dumping the wagon

    Anybody else notice that wheel's not actually mounted? I think that shot is just to show color contrast with the body.

    I like the color. Subtle.

    Yeah, you're right. I just went back through the thread and sure enough there they are! My bad. :oops:
  • fyi im trying to do something similar to jaker's ride. So dont bash the fitment yet, I have the coils, the tophats and the camber kits along with the flares ready to go on. :/ Full time student and full time work is the only thing holding me back

    What paint did you use to do this? because I've been thinking about doing this, my color is similar to yours I believe. also, were your bumpers already painted or were they the black?

    Your wagon looks really good, I'm diggin the dirty look haha. I can see where you're going with the fender flares. Post pics of the progress!

    Question. Do sedan and hatch lower consoles work in wagons?
  • H_civic66H_civic66 Senior Wagonist
    No the sedan lower consoles dont fit. Its the one I got and it comes out to far. Also doesnt fit over the wagon shift console so I had to switch in a sedan one. Another thing is it doesnt go all the way down. I have apic I think in my thread. If not if u want one ill take a pic for ya. Keep up the good work.
  • So did you mean hatch for the first sentence? lol :)
  • nice wagon. the roof liner is clean, i like the tartan you used. keep it up.
  • Only wagon consoles fit wagons, thats why they're hard to find, and more expensive that hatch and sedan ones
  • Yeah i figured. Just had to answer a question someone asked.

    I got on to some maintenance today. Did the fuel filter, thermostat, coolant flush and a new battery for winter. speaking of... Winter mode:

    Got the skis up.
  • TerminusVoxTerminusVox Senior Wagonist
    its all good. I just got a lip from a prelude that we fit on. looks awesome! Fits perfect and looks oem.

    Me and a couple buddies also spent some time installing some super yellow projector foglights. They fit the contour of the bumper perfectly, and light up the road so well. Worth the time it took to modify everything!

    280.jpg
    It'd be interesting to see how you mounted those fogs.
  • Good looking wagon man.. Luvin the pic with mud all over the place.
  • Newest project. :) Should I leave it black or do it silver?

    Since real bull bars are hard to find and are so darn expensive.

    I'm picking up some hella 500's friday and relocating the other fogs into the bumper.
