haha... I didnīt excpect curious inquiry on this post...

But I will answer them !

- Those seats are standard fabric seats, but I made them covered afterwards with Leather and Alcantara... (I don't like leather in the middle, this combination is much more comfortable and cheaper than Fabric Standard Leather... :D )
- That key is a Switchblade Key. I was unhappily surprised that the CR-V doesn't come standard with a Switchblade Key... So I searched through the internet and I found one on Ebay...

Some more pictures of the furniture...

To make you/people more curious...

- I Chiptuned my CR-V to 170Pk and 425 Nm... (it's a Diesel...)
- I put some SMD-LED's lights in the interior and in front and at the back of the car...
- Audio Install: Eclipse AVN2227P (http://www.hondasuv.com/members/AVN2227P_overviews.html), Audison Amplifier, Hertz Speakers, Pioneer Active Subwoofer, iPod Nano, Pac Audio Steer wheel interface (!)
- It's an Elegance version, but I added a SUN & Light Package and 18"wheels, so it looks like a Executive version...
- PDC's for Parking Assist (installed them myself...)

And tomorrow I planned to put HID's in my foglight's, that must be beautiful...

(sorry, I'm a Newbee here, where can I introduce myself ??)

Yesterday I succeeded installing HID Bulbs in my Foglights !
It was an easy job installing it.
I still find it very hard to get Xenon lights look well on pictures (too much light...), but here's the try...:

I used H11 HID Bulbs 5000K.
I thought the original Xenon lights were 5000K also, but it looks like it is 4300 or 4500K or something.
Does someone really know what color is originally used?

Haha, yeah you really have to have your foglights switched off when you have oncomming traffic... 8)
But I drove yesterday evening on a unlighted small and curvy road and it was very convenient having those Xenon Foglights on ! :idea:-:idea:
