Very nice. Those are the same floor mats I have in my Civic, but mine are blue.

you stitched the boots yourself? nice...

what kind of car do you have? my console looks like that, but doesn't do that turn up at the e-brake handle...

Looks great! How did you do the arm rest on the door panels?

[lkailburn]

i actually had my aunt(expert sewer) run the stitching. i cut out all the pieces and marked exactly how and where to stitch it, but when i tried, it just got all f'ed up so i had her do it.

its in my 97 civic.

the armrests i wrapped myself. you have to pull apart the door panel to do it. its a bigger project then some ppl think(if you want it done 100% right) but i could walk you through it if you wanted.

thanks for the compliments

I like the dual bend shifter.. seems like it would be much more comfortable to shift with the angle that it's at.

Hey man! your on clubcivic.com also! Nice to see you gettin around!

the dual bend is great i love it. 30 bucks spent on the whole setup(sihfter and bushings) and its a HUGE improvement over the stock!

I considered it but did not know how to go about getting the arm rest off in one peice and then getting it back on after getting through the plastice welds. That would be great if you could walk me through it. Thanks

well after you've cut off the plastic 'welds' you'll see on the doorpanel part, hollow plastic cylinders.(the tops were melted which we just cut off). what i did was bust out my dremel, used the drilling bit to clean out the hole in the cylinder(still had some melted plastic on some of them) then took a 1/4"(i think it was 1/4") running tap and bottoming tap(with same thread pitches) and tapped the insides of each cylinder. then connected the armrest to the panel with these tiny ass short screwdriver-head bolts and used washers where needed(for spacing on the really short plastic cylinders).

i call this going the extra mile because this way you can unscrew and re-screw the panel together as many times as you want and you don't have the same worry you do if you used self tapping(which would eventually leave you with just a gapping hole)

i hope that makes sense.

Yes, that makes perfect sense. Thank you very much.
