Put on a newer steering wheel tonight.

Here was the old one


Bottom is what is looked like forever, then the leather at 12 o'clock ripped so I took all the leather off.

Here's the leather all the way off



Both my cameras were dead so I couldn't get any pics, but I'll get them up tomorrow.

So..like Hawaii!!

Cool thread Kris..keep it up!!

wow I didn't realize replacing the steering wheel required the entire driver console to be disassembled!

No, that picture from up there was when I was doing my swap.

Here's the DIY I used -- http://cl.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=486041

Nothing special.. just the stock wheel

on my 03tl with the tan interior, i put the black steering wheel with the air bag and the steering wheel column cover and the plastic under the dash, it looks a lot better.

Oh ok that makes much more sense.

It looks like you did a good job on the new wheel though!

Nice man, That looks real good!

Yea I may look into getting the column covers and airbag cover one day, but this will do for now. I want to get some more black interior pieces too. It already has a two tone with all the leather and black plastic pieces so I was going to make it even more two tone.

Just put a down payment on a Mugen replica spoiler

Thank you, thank you. The Mugen was discontinued a while ago and they are ridiculously hard to find. If you do find one now, you'll pay a grand for it. Marcus at Heeltoe Automotive is getting some replicas made for us over on AcuraZine. They are still currently in production so it's going to be a month or so before I even get it.

yup i put my down payment on it too. getting it in CF

Nice.. I'm still not sure yet. I also just ordered the Progress rear sway bar for the 3G TL.



I was actually thinking about doing a different paint scheme since my hood and trunk need to be repainted. Do you think black hood, roof, and trunk lid would look good? I'd probably get Acura NBP (Nighthawk Black Pearl). Then the question would be.. what would I do about painting the 3pc spoiler in that situation? Paint the whole spoiler black or paint the trunk part of it black and the side pieces blue to match the car?

why dont u get a cf hood and then paint the roof nbp along with the trunk and get the 3pc in cf

B/C I don't really need a hood, I just need mine to be repainted.

ask someone to photoshop it for you to know exactly how its gonna looks.

I can do it I was just seeing if you could picture it..

the chrome trim around the grill really sticks out, id leave it the stock color and paint the 3pc body color.

• Changed transmission fluid -- GM Friction Modified Syncromesh MTF (from Honda MTF)

I think I might actually get that Mugen replica from eBay

Just a few notes on the new GM fluid.. The old fluid was pretty dark; couldn't see through at all. Shifts are noticeably smoother (as expected) and everything feels good so far.


I plan on installing the Progress rear sway bar tomorrow afternoon

Got the sway bar installed last Saturday.

The bar and everything in the kit with the stock bar on the bottom




This thing was a big upgrade compared to the stock bar. Feels real solid throwing it into turns now. Probably the best $140 I ever spent.

now i have to get that.

You really should.. it was a great investment
