Default a jdm treat and some refining.

Just installed my jdm 1 pieces on my accord-w00t and also did a rear lip using garage door bottom; I've heard of a lot of CRX guys doing this so I gave it a shot.







whatt do you guys think ;p

old pic




**dont worry about my pea shooter stock muffler, have my 06 rsx type-s muffler waiting to have custom piping done to it with my dc-s header.

no H22...yet! lol

yea after i saw this picture i wanted to paint my bumpers



he basically has my lip on also, and same paint color.

But i'd rather do a 92-93 conversion, my car is the more boxy 90-91.



*droool, 92-93 bumper w/ fogs

Yea, no1 is a real fan of my black bumpers, but it sort of sets me aside from all the millions of accords i see everyday on the street. I'm going to probably paint my car after i get my h22 and do a 92-93 bumper.

NSX Long Beach blue pearl, got to love a color that has your home town's name in it ;p

*shrug i dont have a whole lot of money in the first place.

not like i could have bought a hatch or integra and started from there. I got this car for free from my oldest sister, and just started to make it look decent. Probably only spent about $800 bucks so far on this thing. I couldnt even buy a civic/integra with 800 lol.

lol well it's not like i painted my bumpers black or bought my bumpers thts way and never got around to painting them. It comes stock on the DX trim, so it's not my fault ;p. Painting my bumpers isnt that high of a priority to me right now, saving for a motor. And whatever good deals come along i usually bite, but i dont go shopping for parts.

Yeah I have plentty of scratches that are concealed by the blackness of my bumper. As for purpose I dont know what i want to do with this car. Probably track it after i get some anti-sway bars and my h22 or f20B. Going to bolt on my DC-S 4-2-1 header and 06 rsx-s muffler witht 2.25 piping sometime this month.

Forever black&gt; *all

permanent dye

Mother's Back to Black I hear has problems of being sticky and running when wet. I've only heard good things abotu Forever Black

Just having a hard time finding this, went to two different autozones and kragens. Probably going to order it online. Suppose to put some Aerospace protectant 303 over the forever black to help protect it.
