    Grey interior swap

    Whats up guys,

    So yesterday I finished painted the inserts for the rear door panels. You can pick up fabric paint at any local auto shop. As with any spray painting, do light coats. Between each coating, take you hand and massage the material so as to keep it from getting stiff (ie: what happens when you run your hands through your gelled hair) You want to make sure its nice soft and fuzzy again before you apply your 2nd and 3rd coats, as needed.

    Heres a pic of my finished rear doors. I'll have the fronts done by next week.

        all i painted was the inserts. i used painters tape around the insert, took off the plastic piece around the power window out and sprayed. i'll take pics of the fronts when i do them today. =)

                  I finally took the time to go to CS and install the door panels. Pretty simple swap. The 95-96 panel fits slightly different but nothing noticable. The front panels bolt on at every point except for one. Where the 97-98 has a plastic screw in the part of the door closest to the hood, the 95-96 uses a metal screw and has a screw point 2 inches closer to the center of the panel. No probs it works fine. I'll have pics when I charge up my cam and get my ass back to CS.

                  everything looks good just need the center pillars and doors sills and i'm good, then its time to change out the carpet and header.

                      Project323 has the sweetest protege i've ever seen you should post more pictures of it. How many inches did you lowered it?

                        Everyone has their own style. I tend to go for the cleaner less dramatic JDM look.

                        I dropped it with the B+G Extreme springs 60mm (2.4 in). I suggest using a camber bolt afterward or your front tires will wear on the inside.


                        btw nice handle =)

                        I'll take mor pics today of the engine bay. any other requests?

                          The handle derived from Project D haha. Since I get my car sideways in the winter time.
                          My Dropzone springs are in the mail and should be here sometime this week. The sad thing is that it's only a 2" drop. I was gonna get the coilovers but the spring rate would be too high if I were to lowered it 4", it would look nice but ride comfort would suck ass.
                          Post lots of pics so I could get "ideas" hahaha. The exact look I was going for clean JDM sleeper.
