keep_hope_alive's 2001 Honda Accord Some side-by-side of old vs. new. i really like the new look.
I am not a fan of the woodgrain. I started this in early May and ended in early June.

keep_hope_alive's 2001 Honda Accord i wanted to update the look of the dash. The woodgrain looked out of place and the plain black plastic was just depressing. I used Rustoleums for Plastics - Silver Hammered. It gave the pieces some texture while providing a nice coat. I had to disassemble a lot more than I expected. But I'm glad I did.

June 10

just got my rear deck recovered with vinyl. I used some 3M 90 spray adhesive, and trimmed it to fit perfectly. i also painted the rear speaker and seatbelt pieces silver to match the doors and front. i took my third brake light and the mystery child seat loops off and now the rear has a simple and sleek look.

cool digs man. someone still using Xtant. When i last competed in IASCA i used the 603x in my Corolla. I have 3 1st place professional class trophies with the XTANT http://rivermm.tripod.com/1987_fx16_gts_corolla/index.album/molded-into-a-corner?i=2 you should see what i did to that car. by the way my website is www.rivermacomber.com ans to the answer of how many layers of glass? i think it was about 6 layers or so of 2 ounce mat and i used poly resin and mekp for the hardener. i have been doing custom fiberglass enclosures since 1995

Gotta love ALPINE! I blew 2 sets of them same exact components. I upgraded to SPX17-PRO which have not let me down yet and the sound difference between the two is crazy. 5*s all day!
