This is my '95 Legend Coupe LS with '02 TL Type-S rims. As it inches closer to completion, my goal is to maintain a stock feel while achieving a unique simplistic style.

Exterior upgrades include clear corner lights with LED bulbs,...

The Interior has been updated to a black/tan two-tone combination not offered in the second generation Legend's production. The new leather seats include preforated center inserts. I reupholstered the armrest, sun visors, center door panel inserts & the back panel of the front seats with high-quality black vinyl. I also swapped all the brown sections of the door panels, rear deck, steering wheel & steering column with that from a black interior Legend including the seat belts, e-brake & gas cap release lever.

In addition to the dash, there are a few remaining trim pieces that need to be changed to black, such as the door handles, upper door/window trim, & rear deck outer trim.
 
 
DIY Gunmetal trimmings replace the stock burl wood interior trims along with the gauge cluster & face plate, AC controls, steering wheel horn buttons, heated seat controls, cup holder, glove compartment latch & the courtesy light dimmer/TCS switches. Other upgrades include Nokya billet aluminum gas & brake pedals, custom-made aluminum foot rest pedal, Ichibahn shifter (modified for lower placement), LED dome lights , LED map lights, & LED door courtesy lights.

The Engine is kept stock with minor upgrades including stainless-steel brake lines, DOT-4 brake fluid, K&N air filter, & NGK Iridium IX spark plugs. Subtle touches of gunmetal continue in the engine bay with the wire covers, cowl cover, strut bar & hood struts. The valve covers were also painted gunmetal (pictures coming soon).

Audio... The stock Bose Premier system has been replaced with an Alpine Headunit powering MB Quart speakers via an Alpine 4-channel amplifier, which replaced the stock amplifier using a custom-made mounting plate painted black (shown below).

A JL 10" subwoofer housed in a ported box, an Alpine Class-D Mono-Amplifier, & a 1.0 Farad capacitor set-up  are concealed by a carpeted MDF panel allowing full access to the spare tire & plenty of trunk space while protecting the audio equipment from trunk cargo.

4-gauge power cable runs to the dual fuse block concealed under the dash, powering & grounding both amps via 8-gauge cables. I installed the fuse block under the dash to protect it from moisture & possible damage. I wanted it not to be visible yet still be easily accesible for fuse replacement, if need be.
