well i went from db8 to prelude sh to accord coupe . ok so i got this car for a straight trade . car has donuts and a maint req . now here is my question, how do i get rid of that maint req i already did a correct oil change, just need to replace spark plugs, not necessary but i want them to be new. car is the 2.3 vtec 5 speed coupe 2001. goodies ? i bought the JDM housing headlights, Red JDM emblems, and i got some C-wings west carbon fiber eye brows. quick question what is the thread for the lugs ? i got the integra extended lug nuts wanted to know if they are for accord as well . any ways thanks and help me out ! [: ill post a pic in a jiffy

 

here is a picture over at aero cosmetixx with my new black headlights yay [:

 

4x114.3

 

4x114.3 ?

what about the thread? is it 1.25 or 1.50?

 

like sfcd5 said the lug pattern is different ... 4x114.3 ... but the lengths and the threads should be the same if both the integra and accord have stock wheel studs ... easiest way to find out is just take one off and hand thread it ... but can you use extended lug nuts on stock wheel studs?

the actual thread size should be 12mm x 1.5 if I'm not mistaken. The wheel bolt pattern is a 4x114.3

 

if you do go oem, you should get some special edition accord wheels ... hey are those orange high beam bulbs?

the headlights are custom , the bulbs are the ugly white ones. At night when turned on though they light up amber. i will post up a picture to let you know what i mean , but as for the high beams im waiting to get my yellow high beams

 

it looks good ... you do it yourself?

 

No i dotn mess around with the head lights, my friend knows how to do it. You put the head lamp into an oven and well bake it open.

Yeah, what is the name for that bumper? It does give the car a more agressive look.

I'll do it today hopefully with a camera and not my cell phone.
Get the yellow hig beams. Looks really nice, and gives you that nice eerie yellow glow for the night.

 

its just a 01-02 accord 2dr bumper ... i have a 4dr so i had to do the "conversion" ... but it looks a million times better than before ...

BEFORE:


AFTER:

 

thats hella clean, inspiration to mine, so all i need is the bumper or is the head lights different as well ? im trying to fix my ride as best possible help me out bro , your car is clean

 

no the headlights and fenders are the same ... well i had to change the hood, the bumper, and the bumper retainer ... but i dont know if all you have to do is change your bumper being that yours is already a coupe ...

heres a link to the post for this conversion:

perfect perfect !
thanks bro direct bolt on, and all i need is the bumper ! im really looking forward to finding one in the junk yard :D

 

it will bolt on directly but the hood might not be flush with the bumper ... but again that was a problem for the 4dr i dont know if it will be a problem for you being that your car is already a coupe ... the 2dr hood is slightly longer than the 4dr ... but regaurdless remember to get that bracket that supports the bumper ... its the one the grill sits on ...

 

oh theres a bracket that goes with it ?

 

yea its called a "bumper retainer" ... ill post a pic during the day for ya ...

 

alright , oh and i took a pic of my headlight during the day sorry for ugly cell phone pic

 

TADA!

 

looks nice ill probably get some but im going to color match them to my car
