Welcome to HT Babe..

You can fiberglass anything you want..its going to take some time to clean up and make it look right but it can surely be done. I am currently sheet metaling my entire interior so yes it can be done...

Welcome to good old H-T In terms of HP there is the all famous H22 swap option...thats a little expensive....or you could go the route of basic bolt ons...that wont get you very much hp but its deffinetly a start and another option is turbo or NOS. It all depends on how much HP you want and how much you want to spend on this car. Just be sure to get really familiar with the search button Have a good stay at H-T theres a lot to be learned

Oh and be sure to become really good friends with bagged93accord he's a good one

There are too many different types of paint to list..but gloss comes down to the clear coat in simple terms. Also the more you polish and what not will bring out the shine. when you get to that part lemme know

Ohhhh alright thanks

Also another question i have a 1999 acura integra type R 2dr and its a nice candy apple read with beige/white interior with candy apple red fittings and i was wondering should i make my accord the same colour as that or should i do it like i was originally thinking and do it black exterior with complete black intereior with all gauges and buttons in blue light.

I notice that no one else said this, most likely because you're a girl, but I will for them. Could you PLEASE use some periods? your massive run-on sentances are insanely annoying to read. Thanks
