Ok, so here are some pics from when i first got her
Image

Image

Image

Normal scratches and small dings and dents as expected, other than that the body is in great shape :D

Image

Image

After a few days I installed a spectre intake cone on the stock intake tube.

Some pics after i buffed out all the minor scratches and a wash and wax
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Cleaned up the interior and wiped down the engine bay (it was already super clean)
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Once she was nice and shiny and mostly scratch free I started ordering some parts for the little touches. The rear Honda "H" badge was missing so I ordered some new blue ebay badges
Image

Of course they didn't directly fit so I had to shave down the plastic prongs on the back
Image

Image

Image

A few days after the new emblems came, her new ebay ember corners got here!
Image

Image

After the amber corners went on it started to rain heavy again. Went for a drive and noticed a small leak coming from the aftermarket sunroof (yep DX with a sunroof :?) so i re-sealed the entire thing.

Now we're up to this current week, it was my friend's turn to drive us to work so i figured perfect time to paint my steelies! I love blue with white wheels so I went for it
Image

Image

Image

Due to parking restraints and limited daylight after work, I decided not to remove the wheels for paint. I sanded all the wheels down starting at 100 grit and moving up to very fine, then applied the first several coats, and the final coat 48 hrs later (thanks for the DIY's Teal!)

Painted Steelies ftw! I think they look pretty good for what they are :hehe:
Looking forward to everyone's thoughts, comments, and advice! Thanks for looking :)

- Fri Aug 31, 2012 1:54 am #314654 So to summarize:

First thing I did was buff out the minor scratches, wash, wax, and clean interior/wipe down engine bay

spectre intake cone on the stock intake tube
ebay blue Honda "H" badges
ebay amber corners
white steelies

Also re-sealed the aftermarket sunroof
Cleaned all the excess spray off the tires from painting the wheels

My future plans for her :twisted:
-Tein lowering springs
-upgrade shocks
-upgrade tires
-ASR subframe brace
-rear sway bar
-front upper strut bar

-front tow hook
-tints (not too dark)
-refurb body trim moldings
-fix dents
-new fender
-paint (keeping her blue)
-rear ferio trunk lip
-SIR/Type-R/Spoon sports front lip

-Mugen oil cap
-Spoon sports radiator stay
-paint valve cover

-Type-R shift knob
-Password jdm shift boot
-oem front/rear seat upgrade
-SIR center console
-eg armrest
-new carpet

Tell me what you guys think im definitely open to suggestions. A few things im not sure of yet are: choosing a secondary color (either green, purple, or pink) and doing a mini-me swap. I want to stay with the D series for sure, and I want her to stay reliable. I do have a budget just like everyone else but I have no problem spending the extra money on quality parts to keep her running strong

Thanks, I was so pumped to find one with low miles and stock :D
For a secondary color I just mean a color for suspension componants and engine bay like valve cover and stuff like that.
Yeah eventually I want to convert to a manual ex tranny, don't know how far off in the future that may be so I left it off my list for now..good eye btw picking up on that!
Thanks for the input!

- Sun Sep 02, 2012 6:33 pm #314827 Ok I see purple would look good with that Harvard blue :thumb: pink would be pretty pimp too 8)
I also had the same plans when I got my sedan but mine needed a lot of work if you do the auto to manual conversion make sure you have everything before you start removing things :wink:

- Wed Sep 05, 2012 4:51 pm #315062 So I guess we're getting hit with the remnants of that hurricane up here it's been pouring for 2 days. Driving in to work today (about 8 miles) I noticed a tiny drop of water fall onto my pass seat. Thats when I realized I forgot to double seal my imposter sunroof :x

Weather says it's supposed to be kinda nice out tomorrow with no rain until sat soo I will definitely be double sealing her up tight. Will post pics (unless it comes out crappy lol).

On a side note..anyone know where I might be able to find brand new seals for it? I have no idea what brand it is but I know its aftermarket because DX has no sunroof and it's not one from the EX so I ruled out that it was added as an option...thanks.
