Trim ring doesn't fit very well. It was getting in the way of the motorized face so I just left it off. You can barely notice there's even supposed to be a trim ring there unless you know what you're looking for because the face stands off from the dash like an inch.

That leather makes me Im thinking about saving up for one or 2 racing seats and then the rest custom leather that that. Man the purple is a cool color. My gf has a purple accord but it just dont look as good as yours. Great job! Always good to treat yourself to something once in a whole

I don't know where you guys get purple from ... I mean, I guess it does have a purple twinge to it, but it is definitely a Maroon more than purple. Additionally, my car needs a good polish and wax and then you can see the real color ... it's a must-see in person.

Truth be told, my first pic was blue ... but since I bought in April-May of 98 the dealer told me to pick another color. I wanted something a little different so I went with Rosewood. There was nothing like watching them pull that color car up for the first time ... it was gaw-geous! Still lovin' my car and the color, but I never realized there were so many others who felt the same way about that color

concord mist is more like lavander. . . rosewood defenetly looks purple under some lighting conditions, its a very deep color - under different angles and lighting it could look purple, maroon, brownish copperish... It really grew on me. I need to get a good pic of it.

UGH. That's NO JOKE. It's a bear, but totally worth it. In fact, I'm going to wax them here sometime soon which should make them easier to clean for a few months.

My side markers are never on. There are merely no bulbs in the sockets. The housings themselves do reflect amber at night, even through the tint as they are OEM tinted. I found those lights to be purely decorative/busy and tried my best to minimize it without paying for bodywork to fill it. Someday if I get serious about this car, I'll be shaving those bumper lights right off.
