since when was it a 5spd? :shock: lol
no garage? nice upgrades btw. I have the same problem with the leaking trunk. Post pics and some instruction to fix. thanks Ben. You the man :thumbs up

EDIT: oh, its an auto You got me there lol.

hahahaha yeah, it's supposed to look like a manual now. as far as the tail lights go, i didn't take any pics :/ but i got a little creative haha. first of all, do you have the OEM foam tail light gaskets? if not then you should definitely do this. i used this kind of stuff

its a foam-type self adhesive weather strip that is obviously water tight. The guy at the hardware store said it was "closed cell" which is the water tight kind of foam as opposed to open cell which is not. And basically ran the tape on the body around the holes like this:

make sure when you do it to keep where you start and stop the tape on the bottom side of the hole, otherwise the water can leak through the seam if it is on top.

Noob^ :lol:

Lookin good man I like your shift boot more than mine lol

That's realll nice!

Nevermind, I researched, I'm sad now

a seller on ebay use to sell a full lip kit with those same skirts on ebay. the kit included a fiberglass front lip, those side skirts and rear valances. It also came with a flat whale tail spoiler that sat at the edge of the trunk.

Looks good Ben!

thanks Ben. But when it rains, I see wet spots in the middle and the sides of my trunk carpet. Can this be due to the tail light or something else? I want to make sure before I buy the self-adhesive. thanks

i got mine from ace hardware store, tried to order gaskets from acura, but they were discontinued, with all this rain, my trunk is now dry

in the middle of the carpet? that's weird, mine was along the left side under the carpet. There's kind of a shallow groove there and the water collected in it. If it's in the middle, when you open your trunk look at the bottom of the rear window and check that seal because it may be dripping down from there.
