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 still achieving a unique simplistic style.

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

blacked out turn signal lights & taillights

(using smoked film courtesy of stickercity.com),

...and a custom-made aluminum grille.

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

95typeII's 1995 Acura Legend Miami, FL Customized with Custom Pedals, Custom Gauges, Custom Sub Enclosure, Monster Cable Wiring, K&N Intake, Enkei Wheels, Ichibahn Shift Knob, Bridgstone Tires, MB Quart Speakers, Bose Tweeters, Alpine Head Unit, NGK Ignition, JL Audio Subwoofers, Alpine Amplifier, Custom Seats - 57

There are a few remaining trim pieces that need to be changed to black, such as the door handles, upper door/window trim and rear deck outer trim. The dash also needs to be swapped.

DIY Gunmetal trimmings replace the stock burl wood interior trims along with the gunmetal gauge cluster and face plate, AC controls, steering wheel horn buttons, heated seat controls, cup holder, glove compartment latch, and the courtesy light dimmer/TCS switches. Other upgrades include aftermarket billet aluminum gas & brake pedals, custom-made aluminum foot rest pedal, Ichibahn shifter (modified for lower placement), LED dome lights, and LED door courtesy lights.

The Engine is kept stock excluding stainless-steel brake lines, DOT-4 brake fluid, K&N air filter, and NGK Iridium IX spark plugs. Subtle touches of gunmetal continue in the engine bay with the wire covers, cowl cover, strut bar, and hood struts. The valve covers were also recently 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 Class-D 4-channel amplifier installed in place of the stock amplifier using a custom-made mounting plate painted black (shown below).

A carpeted MDF panel conceals a JL 10" subwoofer in a ported box, 1.0 Farad capacitor, and Alpine Class-D mono-amplifier set-up allowing full access to the spare tire and 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 both amps via 8-gauge cables. The system is grounded out using 8-gauge ground cables. I installed the fuse block under the dash to protect it from moisture and possible damage. I wanted it not to be visible yet still be easily accesible for fuse replacement, if need be.
