Default My coupe at the beach...

More pics of my red '88 coupe. This time at the Puget Sound. Very nice place.

I got the wood trim but not the new shift **** yet. Yeah new O2 sensor too! Day and night difference in driving. I posted this on the Legend forums so why not post it here. My brothers 240D Benz is in the background too.

Car looks to be in great condition, and the interior looks to be gently cared for. Good job!! Just needs a little fine detaining to remove some of the swirl marks from the passenger side,,kinda killed the look in pictures. Still a true testament on when Acura USED to build cars that people wanted.

The interior looks like something from a current Mercedes-Benz lol.

Clean car

There are no swirl marks in the door. The paint on the door is perfect. It is just a reflection of a swing set near by. But the pic makes it look like there are swirl marks.

Thanks for all the compliments everyone.
I am the second owner of this car. The first owner had it 21 years and I got it about 7 months ago. I just have been replacing little things here and there to make it mint again.
The leather looks new because those are seat covers! They feel and look like new leather. But they are slightly wrinkly in some spots. But it beats paying for reupholstering. The company makes leather seat covers custom fit for any car. So if anyone has an older LS or ES and and wants new leather this is a good solution.
But the best thing I have bought for this car by far is a new Bosch O2 sensor. It used to hesitate and idle really low and have some other driving issues but the new O2 sensor fixed all my problems.
