    Got it from a local textile mill, ran me around $50 for the two pieces 1 was 7-1/2 x 4 ft and the other was 4x4 ft , what are you looking for, I could possibly take a look and find what you want and send it out to you!
  • Awesome dude.

    Not meaning to steal your idea or anything, but something SpiderMan themed :)
  • RoRoRoRo Wagonist
    There were several super man materials!

    PM me and we'll sort something out !
  • Cheers for looking mate, were there any Spider Man ones by any chance?
  • RoRoRoRo Wagonist
    No problem! I just remember seeing the super man one, I don't recall a Spider-Man
  • Awesome, sent you a PM.

    So ive been having a bit of an issue with the speaker pod

    - where it was mocked up was right above peoples heads in the back seat so there was no head room so i had to slide it forward
    this caused the issue of where i ran the wiring which was 8" towards the back so the wires were exposed and looked crappy

    -my suspension is really bouncy and where i live / my drive way are really bad so the car bounces like crazy all the time, the weight of the speakers + bouncing made the apoxy crack and split therefore making the speaker pod sag down in the middle and not sitting flush with the roof

    So today i took the speaker pod out and re ran the wires more up front so now its not in anyones way and sits closer towards the driver

    now i have to make up a support system that holds the speaker pod up to the head liner

    keep at it and get the kinks worked out. Customization aint always easy. If it was, everyone would be doing their own thing and wouldnt pay for someone else to do it. It will be worth the work one you get it final.

    Forsure man, it's going to be a 5 minute fix, it's just finding that 5 minutes lol
  • what fogs?
  • RoRoRoRo Wagonist
    i have no idea, just got them at the local auto suppliers, yellow housings with clear lenses , then retro fitted yellow HID's

    so today I tried to see if integra hatch shocks would it on the wagon

    NO is the answer, too long, does anyone know of any shocks that will work in replace of wagon ones?

    then I finally got my speaker pod flushed up, the solution.... ZIPTIES!! I used 4 of them and its perfect and way better then making a bracket and have to remove the head liner, I just need to cut te ZIPTIES if I ever need to change the speakers

    and I mounted it more forway so it's not in anyone's face, now I need to finish off the sun visors and I'm done!!!

  • Looks awesome!

    Maybe EF shocks would work?
  • 666DAN666DAN Wagonist
    I have EF CRX shocks front and rear on lowering springs (Y)

    Works well

    Dan, i think you are confused. He's talking about hatch shocks.

    Not sure of any other OEM that will fit, but if you have to order any I got these and love them. Pretty reasonable too. You might check out the website to see if there is any applications that are the same.

  • RoRoRoRo Wagonist
    I'll just keep using a 2x4 for now lolol all my money is going towards my eg, not this red one but my other one

  • PrennroPrennro Council Member
    Ha! I know the feeling...all my $ has gone into my eg as well! Thankfully, it is done and i can focus on my wagon.
  • RoRoRoRo Wagonist
    I have the wagon 2 eg's and a DA, the da is pretty clean and mint but I want to do a re paint, wagon needs a re paint, the 1 red eg needs a motor (the sohc from the wagon when I gsr swap the wagon) and the other eg is a bare shell
  • PrennroPrennro Council Member
    You will always have a project for sure! My eg has a gsr swap and a jackson schger and lots of other goodies and os fun to drive on track, autox and the street. Looking to get a bseries swap for the wagon so doing the research to see what all i will need to do and aquire in order to do the swap in the wagon. If you know of a good build thread with a list, send me the link.:encouragement:

    Love the truck running lights on the wagon! Sweet!
  • RoRoRoRo Wagonist
    that sounds awesome! post pics of it!

    i bought a GSR integra and pulled the full swap and was going to put it in this red hatch but its now going in the wagon

    the previous owner did a full OBD1 conversion already to my wagon so its just drop the motor in and im good to go (figure of speech)

    i already have the B series mounts, axles, tranny (YS1 , spare from my DA) header, wiring harness on the engine, Dizzy and ECU

    i know my Build threads name is "Swagon" but i have officially changed the name of this lovely Honda, its now "The White Trash Wagon" lol

    so today while working on my EG i noticed that the interior light bulb was one of those really bright zeon bulbs which was perfect because the map light i got from the DA and installed came with 2 of those and my stock interior light was just dull and didnt match, so i swapped that out,

    also while working on my EG i wore an old work coat and found two red peanut bulbs in my pocket, so i switched out the amber peanut bulbs from the corner (in the blinker) to the DTRL up front in the corner so now the DTRL are amber (gives the amber corner look) and my blinkers are red, look kinda of cool, i tried to take a picture but you cant notice the color difference
  • RoRoRoRo Wagonist
    how the da map light looks with the Xeon bulbs

    And the wagon all lit up at night, the rear fog should be brighter but I think it has a weak ground

  • maxfromCOmaxfromCO Band Wagon
    saw you on instagram! I'm the kid with the blue wagon on white bbs. sick headliner and i love the speaker pod! im gonna take tat idea if you dont mind.
  • RoRoRoRo Wagonist
    nice man! Thanks for the follow! Now you get to see my other 6 cars as their builds haha

    go ahead man! just give me credit llol just make sure it goes in front of the "oh shit" handles in the rear closest to the front so it's in Noones way, and that it's wide enough to hang in the plastics (mines no and inch too short having moved it forward)
  • RoRoRoRo Wagonist
    So today I finished my sun visors !

    i was going to get my sister to stitch them but I just stapled them instead

    I put a nice hem on it then stapled as close to the edge as I could

    and the finished product, the faces stay right side up both in the up and down position, just when they are down they don't line up :( too much rushing
