Oooh, car seat projects! I've got a whole interior project this summer.

This summer's project is to redo the cop car's interior. Cop cars have: 1.) Vinyl floors ... to catch the blood and vomit. 2.) Bad seats. 3.) No interior lights ... so bad guys can't see in at night. So I have ordered (1) new black carpet to replace the flooring; (2) new racing seats and mounting brackets; and (3) interior accent lighting for under the dash and under the seats. Installation will probably be late June/early July, depending upon when the seat mounting brackets arrive. Yes, it's hard to believe, but the NTRCPTR is going to get even more awesome.

It really is amazing how aftermarket companies have embraced restoration.
EDGEMAN • 05/24/23 06:47 AM ET
Yup! Some of it blows my mind that they’ve reproduced the small parts too**

I think it would be better to recondition with the cover on the seat

Just a 2008 TSX.
EDGEMAN • 05/24/23 06:50 AM ET
how much oil does your TSX use between changes?**
typed by ben • 05/24/23 07:11 AM ET
I never have to add oil between my 5K mile oil changes. Zero.**
EDGEMAN • 05/24/23 08:32 AM ET
How many miles?

There's nothing like winding up a naturally aspirated VTEC motor to 8k rpm!**
