Looks can be deceiving.

It's actually matte charcoal, a really dark gray. In person they look much better and add a small bit of contrast to the car while still maintaining the stealth look.

They're a really weird color... in the daytime in the sun, they look dark gray. In the daytime in the shade, they look nearly black. During sunset, they look like they have a bronze tint to the gray. At night they look like they have an olive green tint to the gray.

And yea, boost will be coming. I'm probably going to buy GReddy_civic's mani/turbo/downpipe when he takes them off for when be builds his motor and upgrades his turbo. I just don't know when that will be for sure. In the meantime, I'll buy the rest of the stuff I can go ahead and buy.

today i replaced the rubber boot that goes over the shifter ball, and the seat that goes inside of it. shifting has improved tenfold.

also, i sprayed some belt conditioner on my drive belts. for some reason, the car is a lot quieter now... weird.

they're only about 1000-2000 miles old. i think i got some grease on them or something and the conditioner is helping. it's making like a "shhhhhhhhh" noise now. i think that may just be the conditioner on the belts.

it's kind of hard to explain the difference between what they sounded like before and sounded like now.

I never posted pics of my recently painted black interior panels. I used SEM Satin Black Plastic & Vinyl Color Coat. It worked great. It looks OEM, and it doesn't chip.

What do you mean it wont chip?
Because i was thinking of painting some of my interior panels, but eveyone i know said not to do it because over time it will chip and fade.

I think it's actually a dye or something, or at least acts like a dye. The can says "permanent", so i put it to the test. I tried scraping it with my fingernail, which would normally chip average paint... nothing happened.

I think it also says it's fade resistant.
