Help me hook up my interior -pic-

[Ricochet]

Here's my trainwreck, I'm thinking of redoing everything in there either all blue, or all black (same as exterior). Suggestions?

[AirAllen01]

What color is the exterior? My suggestion would be to find a way to connect the radar detector and hide the wires. Continue the blue on the dash, but bring the white from the console to the top of the radio section.

black
The center console is a bitch to get out, otherwise
I would have painted it white. I'm tired of the blue/white
"theme" and just want one solid color.

Yeah i would continue the blue to the dash and the white to the radio. That would look good.

Get a carbon fiber dash (I know a lot of $$), and paint everything else black. Get black Sparco or Riccaro seats with red lettering and black piping. Black carpet with diamond plate flooring, and a carbon fiber shift knob. Indiglo gauges, red neons under dash (both driver and passenger side), red underbody neon kit. Do you have a stereo or anything else?

I'm not into the diamond plate floor things too much, or all the neon effects... I do have a blue neon kit but the front one smashed and I never really had the urge to buy a new one and reinstall the whole thing. I am starting to dig black with red detailing, especially with the red top under the hood now.

As for the shift knob, I'm buying a jdm ctr one when I find a good deal online. The true jdm ones cost $200 through inlinefour, but there are some exact replicas out there for $50 or so. $200 seems a bit much and I can live with a replica shifter... I would buy indiglos if I haven't heard bad things about them from everybody who owns them. From those I've talked to, after a few months the lights actually discolor the faces making them green in some spots and blue in others. Again, that's just from people I've talked to.

I do want a carpet kit, that would be pretty sweet ane they're only $100 or so. I think my next big step is a pair of seats (when I can afford them), but I can't seem to find any that I really like. I do have a nice Pioneer deck, Pioneer four-way 6.5"s up front and 6x9's in the back, and a Rockford sub w/a 500 watt amp.

I'll take some new pics when I progress a bit and post them up.

i think it looks nice how it is

Gotcha on the diamond plate. If you want something to protect the carpet then you can get some black rubber mats with a red Honda symbol, or if you just want the carpet then you can get a red Honda symbol sewn in or embroidered (whatever they call it). If your planning on the black with red trim, then I would switch the underbody neon bulbs to red. I was just gonna see if you had neons around the stereo or not, but you said you don't really dig the interior neons. You could also change out your steering wheel to a red one. Let us know how it goes.

I briefly tried looking for a ctr steering wheel but came up empty. From what I've seen aftermarket wheels don't come with airbags..(?) I've been in a couple bad accidents where the airbag saved my life and I'd probably want one with an airbag. I don't think those will come too cheaply though.

I'm more interested in performance parts than interior, but I'm just looking to clean up my "train wreck" a little bit with black paint. I'll post more pics later when everything's looking a bit smoother.

Know what you mean. I know two people that had to have the jaws of life to get them out of their cars.

You have no idea how long I've been wanting to do that, but unfortunatly there's no way that I've seen to clean up holes in vinyl and do a great job. I want to put it in the left airvent on the driver's side but I don't know, it does it's job where it is. I don't like gauge cluster tachs because I can barely see them with the steering wheel in the way. If you have any suggestions, by all means let me know.

i got a JDM stock one for an integra type R. its made by momo, and looks really nice, but doesnt have an airbag, of course, my 88 civic hatch doesnt even have ANY airbags, so its works great. they do have ones with airbags though. check ebay

I hate the word naaaaws...

But yeah it was, hence my reason for getting a new engine. I've blown 2 D16's with it...
