Nice. I see you learned how to make it lower too. My 1st thoughts were that it's too yellow. I prefer darker colors on Accords. 1-piece headlights would look better also. I love the wheels.

btw, what was the original color?

I WAS going to say that it was too yellow, you lost all the shine in your paint.

BUT then I saw the original pic... it appears as if there was no shine to begin with.

Looks damn good for a first time... keep working at it and you won't beleive what you can do.

IMO it looks a little TOO yellow. Makes it look cartoonish. Try to make the brightness blend with the surroundings.

Otherwise, it's a clean *** chop!

Yellow is for an R only. Championship white or some sort of metallic black lMO looks good on 4th gen's..

thanks for all the positive comments guys. as far as the color, i was just messing with the differnt slider bars, and yellow came out of it.

4genaccordfreak: it does look similar, but my pic with rims is real, fake drop tho, and obviously fake paint. i decided to go with silver, cuz it goes with everything. if i ever decided to sell them, silver would sell better then bronze.

btw, are there any sites out there with howto's for things like changing color, and other stuff. photoshopjunkie isn't up anymore, and i kno ther were other tutorials on there, like lens flare, which i can do as well. oh well, i'lll mess around some more i guess.
