Tackled this today... and still ongoing because I'd rather not replace any panels. Sills, console llumination, and ambient lighting. Glad I bought trim tools.

Have any more pictures? Thinking about doing this, it looks like it’s easier to do all three in one go rather than buy each one individually and have to take apart the car each time lol.

what color (red of curse) but color code?
Funnily, "red."

It's this G2 brand epoxy caliper paint, and they have blue and black and purple and whatever, and "red." I figured everyone is trying to match Brembo red, including Honda painting that rear caliper, so it would be close enough. It's pretty much spot on, so I am very happy with it.

It's definitely easier to do all three at once since you have to pretty much take everything down for the center console and ambient lighting. I printed out the directions for each and when I did get stuck on something I YouTube it. I'll see if I can upload more. Just time consuming with the limited interior space.

Finally got my Mugen push ignition switch today. Took me about an hour to install, but realistically 30 mins should do if you know how to take apart the dash trim pieces/stereo/climate control. It's completely plug-n-play. No need to reprogram keys or anything.

Basically just unplug the harness circled in red and then push the switch out from behind and replace with the new one.

After of burning my hand during HOT summers and my hand slipping off during track days, I decided to make my own shiftknobs that solves both these issue. Check out my I.G. @ff_mayhem :D

Finished breaking the engine in (and the roads were immediately crawling with law enforcement), then I covered the passenger airbag light with a bit of vinyl (forgive that crummy picture but you get the idea). If you look you can see the relief of the text and the light through the vinyl, but it is nice and opaque so the light doesn't shine through. Big improvement.
