What is your 1st impression of the rare jdm harness cover? I had one for about 3 years and wasn't overly impressed. Sits in a box in the garage now.

It's not bent. If I end up deciding to sell it, I'll hit you up.

Your car is coming along nicely, will look much better when you clean up the bay.

Thanks
I'm going to paint it again and paint the engine bay while I'm at it. Im going to have my mechanic take the engine out and the timing cover off to send it to get polished while I'm at it

It's been a long year for G restoration and not quite done yet.

Completed:
All of the above plus:
Fortune Auto500 coilovers
All new headlight and marker bulbs
Phillips Ultinon bulbs
JWT clutch and flywheel resurface.
New coilpacks
New cam and crankshaft sensors
Full fuel system, throttle body clean
LED interior lights and side markers
New drivers seatbelt
New driver and passenger seat belt buckles
New tint
Continental DW Sport tires (2016 model)--the only thing I regret. Got them on clearance and they are unacceptably noisy with only a couple thousand miles on them. Will replace next year.
New oem shift ****
New door pull plastic trim
New wiper arms
New oem black floormats
Rust on rear wheel well fixed
All dings and scratches fixed

Still to go this year:
Paint and replace both mirrors
Driver and passenger window weather stripping
Paint front grill and diffuser area

Next year:
Dye carpet black
Fix foam and tear on drivers seat
New radio with JDM facia
New Pilot Supersports

Whew....I think that's it. Almost everything above is oem as well...

A lot of work. I hope she doesn't die! I don't even want to think about how much this cost, but in for a penny, in for a pound (or a few thousand pounds as it were.....)
That is quite a build list. Can not wait to see it all finished.

I'll snap some under the skirt pics of the suspension this weekend when I can pull a wheel.

I have the mirrors and grill sitting in my trunk right now waiting to get dropped off for paint.

Funny thing is that compared to my recent pics, it's hard to tell a difference since the car was already in pretty good shape. It's when you get up close that you can notice all the details and when you drive it that everything feels fresh.

A little Wolfgang's on my seats, hands down the best $50 I've ever spent in my life. Seats look and feel great.

Also hit the plenum and strut bar with some polish. Looks better, but far from perfect.

Got a new backing pad for my buffer, so gave my headlights a quick polish. Ordered some 2k clear coat, going to see if that holds up longer than 6 months. I've been having to polish my headlights every 6 months or so.
