ok, i'll bite since i don't think anyone has asked yet....

are those center caps custom? i've pretty much decided on bronze ce28ns, but i don't like the look of them with the volk center caps...these definitely work though.

also, i know it's custom, so it may not be applicable to the stock ap2 leather shift boots, but how did you get it to sit so high? i've fiddled with mine for months using various washers and such and it always falls back down.

...oh, and i love your car.....
The caps are Rays flat type center caps. Unfortunately, they won't work with high offsets. As Alejo points out you could use them in the front but not the rears.

Hey quick question Diez, Where can one purchase the rear H emblem?(that is if its still being sold) thanks
You mean the one in my sig? That's just a sticker I designed, printed, and stuck on there temporarily to see how it looked. Its an old 60's F1 Honda style. You can see its missing in the most recent pics.

Damn, I guess there goes that idea.

What about the shift boot and how it sits up so nicely? Any special thing done to achieve this or is it just the type of fabric/folds?

I found these pics that I took while I was reinstalling the cage and garnish kit. The rear of the rollbar is pretty much stock Mugen. The custom parts are principally in the front: The way the bars end at the A-pillar; the downtube on each side going down into the floor and then the side bars, which bolt up to the front downtubes and also to the rear bulkhead. The rear "roll hoop", so to speak, bolts on exactly like the Mugen roll bar and cage.

It took a lot of work to get the side bars in there while minimizing the cut up plastic. I'm glad to say the door panels did not have to be cut. But everything was measured using the Taitec rails, so I'm sort of stuck with them. I tried the ASM rails and the seats wouldn't fit inside there.

Oops forgot Yeah, that was just a stroke of luck! The upholsterer used a slightly stiffer alcantara and it just sort of sits up like that. I understand you're frustration, I used to hate that about the stock shift boot!
