So all you did was black out the tailights and lower'd it? I think you have a long way to go, you should get some OEM tailights.

Its looking good man, I don't like the taillights but other than that it looks clean. It would look a little better if it sat lower, but that would probably take away from the function of the suspension. from me.

Thanks I appreciate it. That pic makes my car look like its sitting fairly high in the back. Idk why. Im almost tucking tire in the back a lil bit. It looks lower in person compared to that pic lol. But thanks for the compliment.

Oh BTW, this is a little off topic but, have you had any transmission trouble since you have owned that car? I ask because I am looking for another car and the '98-'02 Accord cpe V6 is one of my many choices. TIA!!!

Nope no tranny problems yet. And yeah as you prolly know 98-02 V6's had some serious tranny problems. I guess I was one of the luckey ones. Im at 187,XXX and its still running strong on the original tranny.

It kinda does have an exhaust. It had 2 huge mufflers which I removed and had a guy weld straight pipes straight back from the y-pipe. It sounds pretty good imo. Here is a quick video of it. http://s66.photobucket.com/alb...1.flv

I always have a soft spot for accord coupes. Yours looks nice, but I'm not feeling the taillights. Do they reduce light output? Pics of them lighted? Good job so far.
