Hi Doug, I'd strongly recommend a new carpet from OC Auto Carpets. I bought a red one last year and while it was challenging to trim it and make it fit right, it was well worth the effort afterwards.
I’ve actually bought from them before when I replaced it in my 84 Toyota extended cab! Very happy with quality of their carpets but yes they do require a little extra trimming. I went ahead and ran a carpet extractor for a couple hours over the existing and for right now, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. I’ll show it up close in the next video.
I had a 2005 and put those all red taillights on mine. bought it with 114k miles and sold it at 256k miles almost 10 years later.. Best little car I've had. My steering wheel was peeling in the same spot
That's great to hear! I've read you either love them or hate them but it seems like I've been running across more people lately that have regretted selling theirs.
@@DougGoneWild I would have loved to keep it but at the time wouldn't have had somewhere to park it or the time to work on it. Mine was all stock except for the AEM intake that the original owner put in it.. All I ever did with it was oil changes and brakes and it ran great.. I wanted to push it to 300k but I once bumped a guys car and then it would lag a little out of first, and another time I drove over a small median in a parking lot when turning the wrong way to find a spot and I damaged something and could no longer get it passed 65 mph and it was starting to show other small signs of oil starting to leak so it was time to let it go and get something new.. It shifted great tho, a lot smoother than the new GTI i bought to replace it. My 2005 had a lil more with the body kit and spoiler than yours but I always wanted to get the Type R oem kit you would see in europe
Whoever had their hands on this before, shame on them... The EP3 is such a good car, mine's an absolute joy to drive Edit: I noticed the Oregon license plate, what part of Oregon are you from? I live near the Portland area, closer to Clackamas.
Doug finna get wild on this build let’s fucking goooo!!! I have 2004 ep3 always good to see anyone down to make content for this platform!

Strange find...interesting

Great job man cleaned up good! Im starting some EP3 content on my channel also. new sub here excited to see more
The cmc on my 03 accord was a little annoying to change. The ep3 has a lot more room to work with
I saw your post on the FB group, best of luck!

Well hello almost-neighbor I'm in Canby! haha but yeah it sickens to me see how some people take care of their belongings.
@@DougGoneWild Oh! I drive through Canby all the time to get to my friends place in Yoder. The road construction on 99 is awful...
@@vapour_xs9235 oh for sure, luckily it's almost over. What color is your EP3? I'll be on the lookout for you.
@@DougGoneWild it’s silver with a white Type R spoiler, running on bronze Konig Lockout’s.
