Nice so what plans do you have for it?

nino418 · 03-23-08, 09:35 PM

Injen intake, new leather for the front seats, tint.... 20% maybe, 4300k or 8000k HID kit, new tires (BFG's) then i don't know. That would put be in the ball park of what my other car was at. I ran out of stuff to do with that (and i didn't really like the car) so i bought the Legend. I have always wanted one since i was a kid, and now that i own one i am happier than ever before. The car hasn't dissapointed me once and is way above my expectations. My goal is to bring it up to date while making it look clean and OEM at the same time.

i'm not sure.....it looks like your cleaning brought about all the imperfections to a more "brighter light"........maybe a wheelskin wrap for your steering wheel?

nino418 · 03-24-08, 04:35 PM

The head unit is an eclipse avn2200.

+1 on the Wheelskin wrap, thats the first thing I thought of.

no i want to do this right. btw, those marks are from the powder from the latex gloves i had on. They look worse in the picture than in person.

nino418 · 03-24-08, 04:55 PM

ill just get a new steering wheel if it looks that bad.

nino418 · 06-23-08, 02:16 PM

So, i felt like it was time for an update. I've had my Legend for about 3 months now and i've made a lot of progress. Here's the list:
New- Radiator, thermostat, coolent, rearview mirror, Igge seat cover mod, sr5guy stage 3 chip, lightweight harmonic balancer pully (sr5guy hooked me up), 2 head units (eclipse shit out so i got a pioneer), tires, 5000k HID kit, OEM spoiler, Relaced all the lights that were burnt out on the dash, 12" kicker sub, MTX 1300 watt amp, VSS fixed, Rust removed, window glass replaced (long story), front bumper re-attached, and a few other things i can't remember. So, what do you think? Not to bad for the first car i ever bought, and for having a budget... here's some pix:
The day i brought it home

What it looks like now, before the spoiler

What it looks like now, after the spoiler

So... How did i do so far?

yeah, it crapped out before tristate. i wanted to use the GPS to get there. i felt that the AVN2210p was not eclpise's best product... the headunit portion worked still but the TOMTOM GPS stopped working.

After a lot of scrubbing, vacumming and carpet shampooing my Acura is finally up to my anal standards of clean. (inside). She'll be detailed inside once a week minimum like my other car because i can't stand a dirty car. ( the seat cover is a temporary fix, i have to find some new leather.)
