Gearox, THOSE GAUGES ARE SWEEEEEEEEEEEETTT~!
I am a huge fan of blue glowing things. How did you do that?? I have an 04 sedan and it has blue rings on the gauges but I would love to have blue needles!! Please do tell.

Thanks. I also have all the dash lights blue. Needles would be tricky on an 03. If you can look at the needles at an angle and they are clear, it may be possible to strip off the orange and paint the backs white like mine. Then you just wire in some blue leds behind them. I really don't know how the new cluster works tho. Probably alot harder than what I described lol.
The backlight is indiglo (matches the deck display), and everything else is blue LED light.

You still need to tint your windows, bro. That should set it off. Maybe swap the 4D grill with a 2DR or Altezza grill??
...And yes. Swap out your seats for the RSX seats (both front and rear).
BTW, those gauges are very nice!

Thnks for the comments. Tint is out, since it's illegal to do the front windows and I'm not doing just the rear. I wish I could do the seats. Well I'll have the car forever hopefully, so maybe in a few years I'll have more money 
I tried both a coupe grill and altezza with painted lip and didn't like the look. I'm very happy with the car now. It could be faster, but I'm not complaining. Tuning should help too hopefully.

Looks like your dash needs some TLC (kinda like mine

As before, your gauges are
On a clean car - At least the exterior

Looks good. I wish I could get around to doing the needles. As for being done... You are never done. Once you get in you don't get out.. no one leaves the mod world... you may be on hold for a while but you....... ARE NEVER DONE

Gonna try for next weekend before school starts up. Looks good man, good luck on 'quitting'! Its hard as hell, many people know that. Anyway, glad to see you're just enjoying it now! Get some numbers up!
Oh, and does that say around 20k miles??? Damn, you must not drive around much, or everywhere you go is really close! Unless, that's an old picture. Either way, good looking car!
