Default My 97 Accord

Well, after going poor in college, I've had almost no money to spend on the car, which I guess is a good thing. A few years back, I had some clear rice sidemarkers put on. After a few months, they started to fade to a dingy yellow. So, I did the ol' Krylon transulent orange spray paint deal to make them amber, or "fake jdm". Well, that started to fade a few months later too. So finally, I spent the money and got some real Stanley's from http://www.opauto.com.

Before


After








The real Stanley's mount flush to the fender, unlike the generic ones that stuck out almost 3/4 of an inch.

( I'm a pic ***** and I know it )

Looking damn good

A nice lip (greddy) and a grill would look very nice.

I love what you did with the headlights and the bumper lenses.

thanks for the replies. No lip for me, eventhough I know it would look good. I used to have a ww kit but where i live now, the roads are terrible. Hit a huge pot hole and flexed the sideskirts and dented a rim. I have been toying with the idea of switching to a 94-95 painted front grill....

here's a WAY before picture from about 2 years ago.
