Default Eastwood's 91 Accord

I bought this thing about 2 months ago for $1200.

I went out and got a set of Drag DR34 rims from Discount Tire and had the windows tinted.

Got a set of 6000k HIDs from Xtreme HIDS.

Swapped all the interior lights over to LEDs. That made a hugh difference inside.



The PO spilled coffee all over the tan carpet so I dyed it all black, took all the panels and seats out and cleaned them. Then found a factory armrest at Pull A Part.




And as of yesterday I installed my new header and down pipe.

Not a bad start if I do say so myself. Paint will be coming soon. I already have all the paint for the car, I just need someone to spray it for me.

I'm not a huge fan of the HID's or the wheels, but the car is in rather immaculate condition. Nice find.

I just realized that the pic of the HIDs are the first ones they sent me. Those are the 8000k that I returned. Here's the 6000k. The first ones were wat to blue for me. At least on a red car they are. Looked like crap.

Just curious how does the dyed carpet feel? Ive used Duplicolor before for some random floor mats and they felt a little bit crusty afterwards.

The SEM is much better than the duplicolor. The salesman told me after it dries take a new tire brush to it and that would "fluff" ot back up. I used duplicolor under the seats because it's cheaper and you could tell a difference in the way it feels.
