Absolutely not. It's a unique piece and makes a real statement just by the way it looks. I've got this uncontrollable urge to throw some sponsor's signage on it (Castrol, Honda AEM etc) and have some fun.
Heck, it's so one-off I'd doubt anyone would dare steal it 'cuz it's stands out so.
Good job.
It's a keeper

You can't sell the accorn.... you and your car are the biggest reason I haven't given up on this big bitch that I love so much (talking about my accord ) Keep going with it, just remember this..... a project is never finished

Besides, what would you do with it??? If you sell it, think of where it's gonna go. Some ricer will eventually get ahold of it and it will wind up thrown into a ditch.

All I have to say is, IF you get rid of it... at least make sure it goes to the right home. I'd buy it but I'm a broke *** Marine

i think that maybe the biggest problem is that maybe you've gone too far...perhaps the build up is too extreme to serve as a daily driver...and lets be honest, having a car that is fast as ***** is everyone's dream, but if you can ONLY drive it on and off a trailor and on a dyno, what is the point?

are you now simply trying to go as fast as possible (aka, ditch the accord chassis, and get something lighter), or are you just tired of the accord for other reasons?

all in all, i say keep it

I love the paint job. It's so different than anything else I've seen before. You've taken a dime a dozen car, and made it one in a million. If I ever paint my car, (which is very possible because black is a bitch) I want to do something original, but tasteful, like yours is. But the decision to keep it, or not has to be yours. If the thrill is gone, so to speak, it's gone. Just sell it to someone who will give it the same attention you have.

i left my thoughts in the link you provided. but don't retire her. only way i would retire her if she was mine is if she got totaled out in a wreck.
