what up guys, been a while since i posted pics. I ve done a few things to the car since the last time i posted pics, not much, but between school and stuff, its hard to juggle everything at once. It was dark when my friend took the pics so i guess you can call em teasers lol, i still have some stuff to finish up, but overall, i try to keep her close to stock and clean as i can. Here are some of the things i ve done

Tokicos illuminas shocks
skunk2 coilovers
forbidden ss
apexi safc ( sold vafc )
gunmetal rear lower tie bar
painted accord front lip
painted rear lip
painted accord side skirts
Front and rear black H emblems
painted valve cover ( graphite gunmetal )
painted cai ( graphite gunmetal )
painted front strut bar ( graphite gunmetal )
painted msd box ( graphite gunmetal )
painted msd coil ( graphite gunmetal )
painted battery holder ( graphite gunmetal )
painted battery ( optima yellow top graphite gunmetal yea yea i had to try it lol )
cleaned the engine part of the hood ( was real nasty )
painted front bumper ( left spacers black )

Sorry for the pics quality, it got dark when my friend decided to take pics.

you know what to do to view the bigger size.

Comments and questions are welcomed.

EDIT:

for those interested, here is the alignment result after suspension work. All 4 wheels are sitting str8, and tire wear is normal and all even.

Dang man, you slammed that after you got done with the suspension. Good to see you figured out that lower tie bar too.

The graphite color looks 1234123513451345x better than the yellow did.

tint is 3 or 4 % not sure. its pretty dark tho. I had it a 2.5 % once, but a motorcycle cop was bored one time and pulled me over, so i took it off and didnt pay the fine and retinted it after.

nice like the cover color.

but you need a front lip like last week. get the greddy front lip then your done

Si_g · 07-19-2004, 10:38 AM

^^^ thx it was a easy diy and the paint was cheap for all i painted. For I m good with the accord front, matter of fact the whole accord kit, just tryin to be different. The car is pretty low already ie when i go on certain driveways the front lip is about an inch from the ground already, so any other front lip would scrape easily. So far i have no rubbin or scrapin with this lip or the rest of the car, i got about 3 inches or so between the ground and the front lip and i bearly make it, but i do hehe so goin over a really steep drive way is already a surgical process hehe, and theres no way i m raisin the suspension hehe, it looks and handles way too good.

hope it doesnt peel anytime soon!

Si_g · 07-20-2004, 06:54 PM

its not gonna peel lol, i did it well, i stripped everything down with some paint stripper from home depot, then scuffed everything a lil bit, cleaned, primed, and sprayed with high temp paint and hight temp clear. If anything, i ll remove the clear by wet sanding and spray a few more coats then reclear it. Its actually pretty fun to do. I m startin to like paint, i d like to learn more
