[QUOTE="Ackbar00, post: 15415322, member: 22571"] Still been working on the car, just haven't been posting much on it. Put a couple hundred miles on it and things had been going pretty decent. With the sale of the RX8, I was able to get some things I wanted to do done. First off, was getting some horns for the car. It flat had nothing. Lucky, the factory wiring was intact and working. For the life of me, I could not make the horn button work on the steering wheel. Spent WAY to much time trying. In the end, said hell with it and wired in a simple switch. I also got me some ABS plastic and made a gauge pod / AC cover for the hole the previous owners cutout. I also used some to cover up the hole with the radio. [ATTACH=full]695128[/ATTACH] I also added a cheap Tach and Fuel level gauge. The sending unit is bad in the tank. Ordered one and will tackle that come winter. Its always been my plan to put nice gauges in the cluster (Speedhuts), but just not justifiable now. [ATTACH=full]695129[/ATTACH] Next up was the correct trim rings for the headlights. My car had NONE. Found a good deal on Ebay for the outside ones and CJ Pony parts had the inner's on sale with the holiday. Had to repair some more of the Grill to make them fit, but I think it turned out pretty good. I also wanted black Lanyards for the hood pins. Kind of a PIA to find, so the ones I found are for a Go-Pro camera, work awesome!. Also got a Grill emblem coming from Ebay as well. No trim rings [ATTACH=full]695130[/ATTACH] Trim rings added: [ATTACH=full]695131[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]695132[/ATTACH] Next was the seats. Got a good deal on the fronts. From a 2002 and were $20! Went to the Pick and pull and got the rears for $67. Didn't have the modify the rear much. Looks a lot batter than what was in there. Pulling out the old [ATTACH=full]695133[/ATTACH] $20! [ATTACH=full]695134[/ATTACH] I think it looks kind of cool Two tone with the black [ATTACH=full]695135[/ATTACH] Had to cut this off of the rear seat tray [ATTACH=full]695136[/ATTACH] Used these to build up the floor and used factory seat attachments [ATTACH=full]695137[/ATTACH] Had to cut some foam out. You can see the wood risers added in. [ATTACH=full]695138[/ATTACH] And done. Still have to staple the carpet to the wood risers in this pic. [ATTACH=full]695139[/ATTACH] Seats function correctly as well. [ATTACH=full]695140[/ATTACH] Next? When I last drove it, it just rides awful.
