[steelbluesleepR]

wow, i completely forgot to update this for a long time!

i've just been keeping up my car recently, cleaning out what trash i leave in there from cruise nights, re-polishing the wheels and valve cover (i really need to wax the wheels), and wishing it was warm enough to wash, clay, and wax my car. since summer i havent really gotten a lot done. being at school and away from my car really sucks. over christmas break i installed my cerwin vega components and built tweeter pods on the "triangles" just inside of the mirrors. it is too cold to paint yet, so they are still in sanded white primer. they will be done come spring break. here is a pic of what they look like, but they have a little more work done now than what the picture shows:


also over break, i installed some blue LED's to light up my subs, changed my blue license plate lights to white, cleaned up the wiring for all of my lights, and replaced the blue neons under my dash with some thin LED strips that Mndude07 gave me for my spare 5th gen lip. almost everything was electrical-based because it was way too damn cold to do anything else except for the 2 days i made the tweeter pods.
i got some great stuff for christmas, a lot of tools, a craftsman 17 drawer tool chest, and a lot of mothers car car stuff:


anyway, here's some new and not so new pics of my car:

thanks man, i love night shots.

i just photoshopped a picture of my car with almost everything i want shaved. this i will probably be doing this summer, as well as suicide the rear doors. in the picture i shaved the handles, all the mouldings (including the bumpers), the gas door (wait and see where i put its replacement!), and the antenna. mostly this was from being bored and practicing with ps, but also to show my plans. the second photo is my car slammed to the ground when i do the air ride suspension i want to get. the last picture is the original that i started with.

[steelbluesleepR]

i did a lot to my interior over spring break, but i dont have the ability to upload the pics right now. i dyed all of my door panels black and wrapped the inserts with dark blue ultra-suede, wrapped the headliner and pillars with black ultrasuede, and dyed all of the side trim pieces (door sills, B-pillar cover, fuse box cover, etc.) black. i also got some blue 90-93 integra headrests and a white DC2 integra clock. i screwed up my rear virw mirror beyond repair, so now i have to get one from a junk yard, and i'm going to wrap the visors with blue ultrasuede, but other than that, my interior looks amazing!

[steelbluesleepR]

finally, heres some pics of the interior and other shots i got of the car over break:





here's a bad picture of the headliner which, being black, is VERY hard to photograph!

and now the rest of my pictures from spring break (sorry, nothing but cars. )










i love this one, but i wish it was more in-focus





and here is me with 2 other guys from my car club; Endless Kustoms.

Looks good.

Got a few ?'s about your new INT:

1. Where did you get/find "ultra-suede" ?
2. How much did it run per foot/yard?
3. How easy was it to install?

Oh, and how do you like it?
