Well I kinda got tired of my setup I had. I figured I will never take this car to the track so I got rid of the Momo stuff and the harness bar and recovered my seats. It took me an entire week to do but it was so worth it. I love having the stock seats back. I will probably put in some new carpet next.

Here is a picture of what my seats looked like when I bought the car. This is my main reason for taking them out in the first place! And I couldn't buy covers from Honda anymore, they were discontinued, so I just gave up. :no:

Here was the old setup.

And here is the new seats. :yes:

And here is the rear now with no harness bar and fresh paint.

And here is the bay, with the new JDM Password bolts. :idb:

I also ordered the (rear garnishes) or triangles beside the rear deck glass, new from Honda. They were quite expensive, but my old ones looked so bad this made a huge difference. I also got a new Si emblem while I was at it.

Yeah they are the original seats I just recovered them. I ordered the covers and put them on myself. It's a pain in the ass, I would definitely not do upholstery as a living!

Hopefully some of the ricers on here can look to your car for inspiration, but I doubt it since you don't have 27 ebay "jdm" stickers and flamboyantly colored wheels. Very clean car, keep up the good work :goodjob:

great work as always bro, keep it up. You know anyone that can wrap leather seats?

^Thanks man. Na I don't. I think you can order leather covers similar to what I got and recover them yourself also.

You should seriously show me how to tuck my engine bay. I'd imagine they're pretty similar.

Thanks, yeah it is. I drive it 60 miles a day. Right now it's getting like 31mpg and if I drive it good for a week it gets 35mpg. I love this car so much!!! :goodjob:

I think I'd drive it more than the Z. Super clean ride!!
Athens_Red_Rexin
04-21-2009, 11:44 AM
^ I do! A lot more, and I am actually getting rid of the Z soon. For me it's just such an impractical vehicle. I considered selling the rex, but realized I just can't do that! :no:
