One more look on the whole interior:
Modes continues....
Recently I have recieved 2 items from china (aliexpress), LCD screen and reverse camera.
Monitor:
I purchased from aliexpress - extremely cheap - 30USD with shipping. Bought it as a test but I was surprised how well is the quality - of course if you dont expect HD quality
- http://www.aliexpress.com/item/7-TFT-Color-LCD-2-Video-Input-Car-Monitor-Car-Reverse-Rear-View-Mirror-Camera-Work/640896628.htmlFirst tests:
Later I decided to fit it to civic's headrest. Headrest i a bit too small but i dont care
.
Reverse camera.
Also very cheap - 15usd with shipping.
And testing after connection:

How did you get the double din installed? I thought there wasn't enough space to fit.
Well, there is enough space if you move heater panel approx 5-6cm lower than it is in original.
First I did was to unscrew the heater panel and srew it to thesame holes but lower. This way ideal 2 DIN hole was created.
I purchased a spare console just to cut the down part of the radio frame - so from 2 consoles (2 orginal frames) i created one which looks close to OEM frame.

Update. On the meantime I fitted a 2 DIN radio in console - my target, which I believe I achieved - was to make it as good as potential OEM part would be.
Its not perfect I know, but Im totally amateur in creating completely new parts.
New pics:

Rims are cool for daily use, but curentely I'm looking for some stylish, polished rims -17'
-
Awesome photos as always. I just wanted to ask have you thought about projectors ? I think they will make the car complete
Unfortunately, selfmade projectors are banned by polish law. In case of road control or accident, I could be in real trouble....
Recentely I replaced old front lights into brand new DEPO lights, with new Tungsram Megalight +90% bulbs - night cruising is new experience
Now I can see everything

I gave seats to a upholsterer, he rip off and OEM material was replaced by Alcantara. Leather is still OEM
.Few days ago, I've lowered front suspension to lowest, rear a tiny bit up so front and rear is now at thesame level.
-
As promised. No plastic imitating wood anymore
. Istead there is 3M DiNoc Red Carbon, but the Gloss version. Which is just a little bit more glossy than normal.
-
think something needs to be done about the wooden trim
Correct. I'm just looking for foil in the best matching colour.

Nooo
, Im not that skilled -
Interior was slightly modified
. Lether + red alcantara.

Updates guys
I have replaced oem ashtray by Rover 45 ashtray & cigarette lighter, which as a matter of fact is P&P. Some elements were covered by DiNoc 3M carbon - but the Gloss one. Between chairs I've installed switches for heating seats (this switches just selects the power of heating, turinng on and off is connected to OEM swithes)
I have installed MTS v3 susspension (springs & shocks)
finally summer setup and some detailing
-
There were no updates recentely but this doesnt mean there was no progress
Recentely I've installed windshields
And today I've recieved this:
-
Well, I did wiring by myself. I have HONDA Oem switches as you can see on the pic, Ive connected them to through the additional relay to heated mats so when I press button it gives power to main circuit of heated mats.
Those mats got additional 3 possition switch which will be fitted on the side of the seats. With this switch I can select power of heating.

Wing is a copy of Mugen wing.
For lexus i got some plans but, in case of lexus its waaaaaay more expensive. If I'd live in US than I would not as bad as most of manufacturers of bodykits for CT200 is from US, but shipping cost to europe + tax make these part triple/quadriple the price. For example bodykit that I like (front lip, rear lip, side skirts) cost 400$ with free US shipping.
But shipping it you Europe+Tax bump these costs to insine over 1600$. Parts from Japan its even twice that price.
So for now, its keeping car in good condition, polish it, put ceramic coating, repair minor scrathes on the leather.
In case of mods, probably coilovers (BC Racing or K-Sport) and some nice 18 or 19 inch wheels. We will see...
