[accordtunerx]

very nice indeed.

awesome paint job. i love the green.... 'tis ultra clean. :nod:

i was going to ask you about your stock wheels... i wanted to know how you got the paint to look so damn shiny, but the mod list explains it :)

i might have to add a few more coats to mine.

a carbon fiber hood would look nice on your cb7.

[fliplyricist1]

thanks a lot man...can only hope to get it to one day attain the level of pimp status your 'ccord has :)

Yeah dude, I put a ton of clearcoat on it...prolly shouldn't have been so hasty and put them on the day after when I first did em. Paint was still tacky a day later and the paint on one rim totally wrinkled and melted off while driving haha. I think it takes like 2 or 3 days for them to totally cure when putting on massive amounts of clearcoat, but hopefully I won't have to redo my rims anytime soon.

p.s.: your flat black rims are incredibly nice...totally remind me of rota subzeros

ha, thanks man... i still think they can use a little more clearcoat. i really like how yours look; very professional.

i've gotta get off my lazy ass sometime soon and perform that black housing headlight DIY too. looks mean!

or some decent hood scoops;)

nice car man. your tails look great with your paint and of course ima huge fan of the stock wing. good job, keep it up

[Lithium92]

ahh... ninjacookies has arrived... *tips off hat*

welcome to the board, Pare.

- black92accord ;)

[acch22]

Get ready guys, he's gonna take over the Off-topic section!!!!! :lol: :lol: J/K (u know u are!) LOL!! Really sweet clean ride! I have always been a big fan of the red/clears. Welcome, 'bout time you made it.

[pillypimpinit]

nice ride man.. keep it up..

ppi

[Accordchick90]

Nice ride. I love the wheels. Paint looks good too. Looks almost like stock but it has a little more flare to it. All the mods look great. Keep up the good work.:tu:

[1CrawlinAccord]

Very clean. Keep up the good work.

[chessboxer]

very nice and shiny man, love the color.

[uncle_el]

welcome to the site! i've seen your car on a number of other sites well. make sure you check out all the different forums on here- something for everybody.

back to the subject at hand though, the car looks good. those wheels look very good. the car is clean, which seems to be a growing trend with the cb7. in any event, good job with the ride so far, best of luck in the progress of it. :D

[Clemson90Accord]

Nice car. I love the paintjob. The wheels look awesome. I have been wanting some of those wheels for my car for a while. Can't wait to see the H22 in there. Car looks great.:D

[accordzoom]

yes those headlights and corners look soo goood, not too mention the car itself, superb!

[1CrawlinAccord]

Yep, I want to do the DIY blacked out headlight housings now!! :D :boink:

[chessboxer]

i know i said it once but i fucking love your car man. I want those rims. Fuck i love your car. beautiful, just beautiful. Your sig rules too man.

[Melt]

looks good man.

[akkordlayinkit]

Thats not really my style, but it still looks good. Good job on the headlights, they look really good. Really clean car. Who would've thought 10+ year old factory parts could actually still look good. Good luck on future mods. Jay

[kings_blend]

what size tires you got on there?

[fliplyricist1]

thanks for the feedback/ suggestions fellas :)

I definitely want to get a cf hood, but that's like way down the road due to the price, and right now getting new struts/alignment and the h22 are my primary objectives before any cosmetic mods. I'm not really in a rush either, due to the fact I'm probably never gonna sell the car...prolly just keep it as the grocery getter if I ever get a newer ride (lose too much money in the secondary market...plus my car insurance just dropped in half due to my record/ being 24).

The tires are stock size 205/55 potenzas...I woulda gone lower profile but my parents paid for them back in the day so I can't complain. Ideally I'd like a new set of rotas in 16's, but again that's far down the road from here.

Thx again for the feedback guys and hope to see more pics of your rides as well

[gloryaccordy]

I don't think CB7's were that clean out of the factory...your car is a show winner IMO...

How much did it cost to get your moldings/lip painted? I'm thinking of going that route after the drop...

[4thGen4dr]

Sweeeeeeet! love the diy mods, crazy to think u did it ur self cuz they look really good.

[fliplyricist1]

thanks a bunch for the comments guys, but my car is farrr from a show winner lol I just try to keep it clean as I can and the mods as tasteful as I can (though tasteful is subjective, but most of the people's cb7's in my area are the same blah blah bling bling rims and chome this/chrome that) beauty is in the eyes of the beholder ...

about the lip/moldings...all in all it cost me about probably 60 bucks to do it, about 12 cans of color match dupli color spray paint and some adhesive promotor and some 400gritt and 800 gritt sheets of sandpaper

it really was a pain in the ass since I moved out of the house and my parents wouldn't let me use the garage so I had to do it in the apartment and my girlfriend just about killed me

took me about 2 weeks to do the whole car since I did the sideskirts one weekend and the front and rear lips another weekend

I need to redo the front lip and the 2 front mudflaps though as I've managed to scrape them up a bit when I first dropped my car and didn't know how to handle inclines : /

I kinda hate those pics because the amber corners on the euro sidemarkers looks gaudy...I'll try and take pictures of the car tomorrow with the new mods after I wash n' wax, hopefully if the weather permits

thanks again for the feedback guys...and props to ya'll for having some damn nice cb7's as well :)

[1CrawlinAccord]

I'm just happy to see other CB7's with the same color as me. :D Also, you showed me how good the red/clear tails look on our color. Keep up the good work man.

[97Lude]

looks great man, your paint is in perfect condition :boink:
i like the color you put on your rims 2

[fliplyricist1]

thanks again man

1crawlin...dude I always thought you had an aftermarket light blue paint...maybe it's just my monitor...always looked good though :)


anyways, I spent about 4 good hours today washing and doing the 3 step polish/swirl remover/wax job today and was bored and took some pics

newest mods : diy jdm amber painted sidemarkers
diy blackout grille
tokiko illuminas up front ...still waiting to find a good deal for some rear struts
new set of 92-93 red/clear tails (my left tail on my old set got pretty messed up with water : / )


not much else...was thinking about getting a mugen knockoff lip but I'm pretty much dropped about 2.5 inches now that the springs have settled and I would break it in a few days garaunteed

damn thats beutiful. now i think thats cleaner than my car.

[blamethepunx]

still lookin dope dood

[chessboxer]

absolutely beutiful.

[97Lude]

how did you do the DYI orange corners? I've tried it before, but the spray i got looked rediculous and was completly wrong.


Can you tell me the EXACT name and store you bought it from? I'd really apriciate it!

[JDMCBDriver]

Very Clean!!

[Deryk999]

sooo nice, love the colour, never see to many of them done out, very clean

[1CrawlinAccord]

OOOO man. That right there is hot! I'm loving it. Also, about my color, it's kind of weird. It's the same color as yours, just a little faded. Don't get me wrong, it still shines, but for some reason it's a little lighter. Haha. I guess it works out. Anyways, I'm loving the new pics. :boink: :D

haha thanks man and thanks again everyone....dude I think it's just the color balance of that particular pic..either that or my monitor is gheeeetto (most likely the last choice lol).

Anyways, I wrote up a DIY on painting sideskirts (a member here pm'd me requesting it) in the DIY section in case anyone is interested. Sorry it may be a bit unclear, but I'm kind of slow in the head today : /

thanks man. a few people had asked on here, and other folks on other boards, so i figured the answer was in high demand, lol.

i think the corners look very good, and didn't know they were diy until you said it. good job!

[EuroJDMcb7]

very clean ride bro, I love how the amber sidemarkers look on your car. Oh yah, was the installation of the sidemarkers difficult for you?

[h22aAccord93]

your car looks really really nice

[Squeezinonu]

I see you have the amber sidemarkers, and I just got some too. But before I start cutting and drilling into my fender I was hoping you could tell me how you installed yours and with what tools?

[fliplyricist1]

thanks a lot for the replies/critiques/suggestions guys much appreciated :)

Regarding the sidemarkers, they were pretty difficult, but I used a cheap Radio Shack 'metal nibber' so it was a painstaking and time consuming process. I also was in a rush and kind of made a boo boo and some of the hole is slightly visible from the undersides (not noticable unless you get up close and look under the sidemarkers). If I could do it all over again, I'd definitely do it right and use a dremel.

[fliplyricist1]

removing the corners requires nothing but a screwdriver to take out the screw on top and then just slide it out towards you. It may take a little elbow grease but it'll pop out eventually.


p.s.: My blackhousings and corners are now up on ebay :) link in sig...I'm going to do a bmw bi xenon retrofit with a little twist

[93akorddse]

my special edition emblem doesn't look like that, it goes all the way across the bottom of the accord emblem

[Maple50175]

your the man man!!!!! hahah

[cp[mike]]

freaking b-e-a-utiful car. very very nice!

the pics on page one, you had CLEAR sidemarkers--- where did they come from? its hard to tell from the pics but it looks like they have a black rubber trim around them, instead of a chrome plastic one. let me know, ive been looking for a good set of sidemarkers.

[fliplyricist1]

Thanks a lot man...the clear sidemarkers are actually the same sidemarkers you see on the later pages...just diy painted and clearcoated amber. I got them off I think autodynamic 's website about 2 years ago...so I'm not sure if it was them or procarparts.com . Regardless, they're just '90-93 accord' euro style sidemarkers. One of those two online stores has em :)

[93akorddse]

mine has low miles on it but unfortunatly the person before me didn't take good care of the interior much less even wash the outside. oxidation has taken over my hood and roof... i need to get a paint job, one that shines like yours. The leather is ripped on every seat..... at least the door panels are good and all of the stains in the floorboard came out. yours > mine

[Accrdkid]

Ok I saw your car on Ebay some dude was using it as reference for selling JDM headlights....kinda strikes me as odd because those headlights arent true JDM he was basically ripping people off by using you car as an qoute "example" for his JDM headlights...weird

hahaha dude if you're refering to the auction in my sig, that IS my auction...the 'jdm' terminology is just a search tag so it gets more hits...jdm style, etc etc

[blamethepunx]

why you selling them?

[fliplyricist1]

Originally posted by blamethepunx

got a new project lined up ;)

[Accrdkid]

yeah it was that one.

[93akorddse]

are you going to get an exhaust on that car? was the factory dual exhaust tips an option on a 93 accord? My car looks like it has all the same options as yours.....with the xceptions of a sunroof and the dual tip exhaust. Those red clear tail lights look beautiful on that car, nice decision. You even have the same rims as me.

[accordztech]

i noticed in ANY of your pics you never popped your hood.

[fliplyricist1]

thx again for the comments/suggestions fellas

I'm really not going to dump any money into bolt on's or other performance related aspects until I drop the h22 in there next year (my plan as of now)

I dunno...kinda have second thoughts and wondering if I should boost the ol' f...probably not though, I'd like a better platform to work with and I'd rather just beef up the h22 and go all-motor


never took pics of what's under the hood because there is nothing under the hood lol. At least nothing to cheer about...just a short ram intake and a bunch of stock everything. Last time I cleaned the engine bay was about a year and a half ago and I waxed the underside of the hood and everything, but since then it's snowed and now it's back to its dirty self again, so rather not take pics of the dirty bay lol ;)

[rebels]

It looks like your gas door is shaved off in the first picture.. :shocked: Is it? I'm not the only one anymore? :cry:

[uncle_el]

don't know if i'm jumping the gun, but here are the new headlights :D

haha thanks a bunch guys...sorry these pics are such horrible quality (makes everything look crappy) since I'm using still- captures from my video camera and I can't use my parents' digicam this week (I REALLY need to get my ass into the 21st century). But here are some pics I took yesterday after I spent about a good 5 hours washing/cleaning/polishing/waxing/detailing the car. Finally got my amber bumpers in too...looks sooo much cleaner than the euros :) I'm going to be putting on some eyelids too, just not sure if I'm going to color code them or paint them gloss black like my grille. Any suggestions?

Oh yeah, I also did some engine wiring and used a foglight harness to turn the h1's to daytime running lights/foglights...it REALLY illuminates the road like crazy at night and I've never had that good road illumination ever; I love it. I just have to re-aim the right one so it doesn't glare. I also ordered some yellow bulbs so I can get the TL look goin on. Didn't get to install the camber kit yet though : / guy needs to send me an extra part.

Without further adieu...

i like it, i love it, i want some more of it. lol. i think they look awesome, even though the pics are of "crappy" quality.

can't wait to see some quality pictures. i think they'll look even better in those pics. then you can update that sig!

i think you did a great job with the blackhousing too!

[fliplyricist1]

haha right on bro, thanks a bunch for the headsup :)

I will definitely get some better pics up within the next 2 or 3 weeks (weather is starting to look more like spring here in the pacific northwest :shocked: )

[1CrawlinAccord]

Looks great!!! Of course I am a fan of the JDM, but the black housing puts it over the top. Keep it up!! :D :boink:

[accordztech]

i like it, now u need a dual exaust... =)

[phatdoughnut]

we are gona have to meet up at PIR this summer... uh huh

[92accordDx]

damn man i love your car it looks so sweet the the one peaces and the amber bumpers.

[fliplyricist1]

been awhile but finally got some updated high res pics w/ jdm one piece blackhousings and my new hid install

please bear with me on this (56k= no no)


hid's first warming up

http://www.superhonda.com/photopost/data/2/46078warmingup.JPG

warmed up (purple at an angle and very intense white from front...almost like Acura TL)

http://www.superhonda.com/photopost/data/2/46078warmedup.JPG

road illumination, very white light casted (still not aimed correctly, have to find a nice parking garage sometime w/level surface)


http://www.superhonda.com/photopost/data/2/46078beam.jpg

beam pattern again...notice the rhd flares...but absolutely no glare for oncoming traffic and no worse than my stock bulbs in the glare department...I'm very pleased, since I was expecting a lot of stray light above the cutoff line, but there's virtually none

they're just oem ex wheels, painted with gunmetal :shrug: find a set, paint 'em yourself, and you've got 'em.

flip flip flip... :idiots: i don't know where to start.
1st off, you obviously need to change your sig
2nd, the jdm blackhousing looks sick
3rd, the hids look like a great upgrade... now you have me thinking about 'em, seriously
4th, you took some great pics
5th, if someone can't understand how the clean look of the cb7 owns all, they need to take a look at yours. :D

mad props to you.

[cp[mike]]

car is looking super amazing awesome totally rad. definately one of the best looking cb7s on here.

:tu: HIDs look great!!

[92accordDx]

hey flip, they look so sweeeeeetttt i cant wait to get them. what brand are they and whats the themp rating on them?

[usc]

car looks real good. it gets my thumbs up.

as for your comment on no glare to oncoming traffic... um.. well, the flare itself will be. but that's just the nature of JDM lights accentuated with HID. the reason you don't have the stray lights above the cut-off is because you got an h4 kit. the reason the altima had a ton of stray light was because they took the oem HID bulbs and jammed it into an h4 housing. the altima didn't have the underbelly shield. :)

in anycase, car looks great.

[97Lude]

http://www.superhonda.com/photopost/data/2/4607818.JPG
awesome pic man, i like it. Alittle good bit of glare, but its not the worst i've seen.

[accordtunerx]

oo man, i'm lovin' the new pictures featuring the new blackhouse jdm headlights and HID kit...

... and i'll never get my oem wheels to shine like that, lol... they are still lookin' great.

a lot of cb7s in this forum are called 'clean', and it's true - the cb7 in stock form is a clean looking car.
but your car... is truly the definition and example of clean... all of the mods are tastefully done and it literally is a clean car (even the engine bay).

[1CrawlinAccord]

I'm amazed. That is truly a beautiful car. The blackhoused JDM one-pieces are amazing. The HID's look very nice and combined with the one-pieces makes a wonderful combo. Good job man and keep it up.

[accordztech]

turn on ur high beams and compare them LOL....u might as well turn the highs into DRL.

[Boost_Lee]

Damn bro, Lovin the ride! Those JDM 1 pieces are lookin tight as hell. I still think that you have one of the cleanest cb7's on here.

[fliplyricist1]

thanks a ton for the comments/suggestions/critiques fellas :)
My car can't really hold a torch to most of you who replied, but the best I can do is just try to keep it clean lol

As per the questions, the HID kit is a 7000k kit from Eagleye feat. Hella ballasts. I really like the color of this kit, it's rated at 2800k lumens. The light it projects unto the ground and forward is actually very very crisp white w/a hint of yellow, even though it looks really purplish from the side angles. I'm thinking if a bulb ever burns out I might try a set of 6000k bulbs, heard great things about them.

Yeah man, about the rhd 'flare', it's unfortunate and unavoidable, but swear on my life it doesn't case any glare to oncoming traffic, because I've looked at my car from every single onlooker perspective coming from the passenger lane and it doesn't glare at all unless you're about 5 feet away and you get a tad flash of glare because of the housing reflector. And the only other way I get glare is if I stare head-on and crouch down and look directly into the beams at equal level. All the glare in those pics are a fault of the camera...I need to mess around with the exposure settings because if you notice it accentuates glare in every pic, including the night pics where even my sidemarkers look glaring.

USC you were right man, it's primarily because it's an h4 kit and it's got the built in big metal sheild on the underbelly. I can't even imagine a d2s or d2r kit in a set of one pieces w/out retrofitted projectors...that would be a horrific experience for traffic lol. My only real primary concern now is cop attention. I just don't want a cop pulling me over because he sees the purple from the sides (even though the light is white) and wants to pull me over for a '20 dollar ebay purple bulb' rice infraction. So far so good...just keeping my fingers crossed lol.

bro i know those are OEM wheels but those wheels came only in the 10th aniversary edition i think , at least here in PR is this way!!!! find them down here isnt easy ;)

[usc]

yep, which is why i specifically went with the 4100k bulbs. i dun need no extra hassles from the authorities. and at least for my shields, they do an excellent job in blocking out the yellow as you may have seen my latest pic of the lights on my gallery.

Yep yep...your lights look incredible. And on E-codes as well :drool:



well I just got a visit from the UPS delivery guy...with a pretty 'big' surprise:

http://home1.gte.net/res1hivg/images/jdms.jpg

http://home1.gte.net/res1hivg/images/pusher.jpg

Looks like i'm going to be stopping by the auto store for some flat black paint and clearcoat :) I think I'm going to keep the 90-91's if I like the fit of them with my 92-93 grille...I really really like their chrome trim which makes painting the outside of the light very easy and clean. Be forewarned, I'm going to be selling 2 pairs of jdm one pieces soon...and most likely the ones on my car in the pics...I'll keep you guys posted.

[usc]

hehe, i see you bought the 1-pieces from honda-acura.com

i actually went there and saw those two sets. i wasn't interested in the 90-91 and as you see/notice, the damage on the driver's lens on the 92-93 plus the rubber weather strip missing. but they were letting them go for $100/pair, can't complain.

haha yeah man, you saw exactly the sets I ordered. I was kinda reluctant to buy the 92-93's, but he ended up selling them to me for 70 bucks shipped, so all in all I ended up paying 200 flat for both sets shipped. I was primarily in it for the 90-91's though, they're in great shape. The scratches on the 92-93 drivers side are actually pretty small and not as deep as I thought. I'm thinking I can take it down to a detailer and have them professionally sand and buff it down to see if they can get out the majority of it, hopefully. If not, they still look pretty respectable, but of course nothing you'd put on your car if you're in a car show.

cars looking sssssick dude! lovin the HID..... im soon going HID too :D

i see you have a can of mother's mag and aluminum polish in the background. man that thing works wonders not only on wheels, but on my headlights as well. thanks for sharing such a great tip!

your car is looking hot as ever! i too am going the HID route but haven't scored a deal like you ($170 is pretty dayam good). if you can, please take a picture of your H4 HID bulb. i primarily want to see the shielding of the bulb. i came across some d2r bulbs from a lexus and would want to retrofit them into my jdms (bought from honda-acura.com ;) ). i know i will need some shielding so please help a brotha out! :tu:

hey usc, i know you can help me out here as well! :D

[accordztech]

now what did u guys use that can of mothers for? i use that on my rims.

[timmy0tool]

yea it's mainly used for rim polishing but flip used it to polish his plastic jdm headlights. because of the elements, plastic headlights accumulate a glazed over time. also surface scratches appear due to road debris. the polish removes most of these leaving a nice smooth coat of protection. the headlights look new and road illumination increases due to the clean lenses.

i would only recommend this for plastic lenses (even bumper, corner, and taillight lenses). glass lenses such as USDM headlights usually don't glaze anyway. if used on glass, the polish will actually fill into the surface scratches eventually obstructing the light output. trust me, i've tried :p .

got bored so I took some new pics. sorry about the quality...mem card was just about full and i had to use a medium quality setting...shrank them to 1024x768 so people's monitors won't get flooded.

nothing special..just using a different wax and polish (s100) and finally got the pics of my 90-91 jdm heads that are now on my car...mugen lip is in the mail and will be installed soon...just really worried how long it's going to last : /

Car was broken into about 2 weeks prior...got a scratch or two on the passenger door but that just means it gets repainted. effin theives. thinking about shaving the side moldings while im at it, but i kind of accept it how it is now. any ideas of what i should do when the car goes in the shop?

any comments/criticism welcome

thanks

[TSA]

Hey flip, car's looking great man. Same exact thing happened to me, thieves pryed the passenger door handle. Maybe while in the bodyshop, you should do the rear door handle swap and get those painted to match your car.

Other than that, nothing else to say but looking mucho clean. BTW, what did you use on your tires? I've been using Meguiars gloss endurance gel lately.

Oh and did you already part ways with your other sets of headlights?

[shawn.hayden]

SUPER clean :tu:

by the way, are you planning on going to Nopi next weekend?

[PRIMOCB7]

..the car has a really clean look to it. maybe shave all the moldings, even the ones on the bumper. it'll give your car a really smooth look to it IMO :boink:

[uncle_el]

long time no see (here or any other forum).

car is looking as clean as ever. sucks about the thieves, but at least you still have your car. :shrug:

[greengrcrygettr]

Haha, so this is the car that everyone says looks like mine. Except for you have the spoiler, headlights, taillights, lower body trim, splash guards, sidemarkers, and a really clean body.

I love how your wheels turned out glossy, unlike mine. I love your car....it's sooo damn....CLEAN!

[1CrawlinAccord]

Yo, flip, when you get the mugen lip, what are you doing with your 92-93 lip?? I might be interested in it if you're selling it. Oh, and you car is looking great, like usual.

Goddamn dude your car is pure fucking sex. :tu:

Thanks for the comments/feedback people...as for the lip...they sent me the freakin type-r style lip instead of the mugen style. Grrrrr...I'm so pissed. But definitely I'll give you first dibs on my stock lip...I kinda wanna hold onto it for a little while until I'm positive I'll have acceptable ground clearance with my mugen (my driveway is kinda angled)

[1CrawlinAccord]

Sweet!! Sounds good to me man. An added bonus for me is that it's the same color as my car. Yay!! :)

Nope, I think they are slighty different.

[shawn.hayden]

ya crawlin, you'll see that your car is alot lighter than his when you get it....

[90accordman]

nice ride, do they offer the tails in red on top and white on bottom for 90 accords? I've only seen red bottom white top

[1CrawlinAccord]

Well, yea, his car is darker than mine. But, the lip will match up pretty well, I think. The lip on my car right now is a little darker. The reason is because I had it painted and they could not match up the paint perfectly. So, it came out a little darker, but it still looks alright. So, I'm confident. But, thanks for the heads up guys. (Sorry for the thread-jacking)

[br0nx finest]

damn i would def. invest in some HIDs when i get my 1pc's.

anyone wanna sell some?

flip, def. lookin good as usual, you = my idol.
you pwn arcadia green.

[fliplyricist1]

I'm really bored and I've been gone for awhile.

Nothing new really to report...never got the mugen lip...they sent me the type-r lip instead and I didn't like it so I just got a refund and decided to stick with the stock lip since I'm already so low and tucked a bit up front.

One of my hid ballasts went out :( So I'm desperately seeking a ballast...any kind.

Took about 6 hours the last 2 days to clay/cleaner/swirl remover/polish/wax the entire car. I'm happy with the results. All original paint except for the hood and part of the bumper.

Next mod will be rota c10's in original sports bronze...I've definitely got my mind set on that.

Thanks a bunch man...that means a lot from a guy who has a car that looks cleaner than mine :) I just ordered a porter cable polisher, so hopefully that'll save my arms from the freakin 5 hour process of hand cleaning/polishing/waxing lol

I can definitely get a vid up of the alternating brake lights...I'll get some footage probably tonight and upload it :thumbsup:

[Ronald_Type-R]

Naah my digicam always seem to make my car looks so much cleaner for some reason :confused: Hahaha I kno what you mean tho, I spent close to 4hrs last wkend jus washing/waxing the whole car, trying to not miss any spot...Not fun I tells ya...I swear I think I even ended up waxing my car in my dream when I slept that night..Bwahaha :p That's allright, I only do it once every 2 years I believe..hehe :oops:

it's all worth it tho...I think everyone here can see what kind of hard work you've done to your car after a 5 hour process..hehe the car is sooo...Green!! hehe is that the original paint btw?? Jus curious...EIther way.. :tu: :tu: :luv:

[accordtunerx]

front end looks INSANE man. i was never a huge fan of that style grill until i saw it on your car.. and thats DIY too :thumbsup:
it makes the headlights look really aggressive (as if they weren't already aggressive enough looking).

any plans for wheels in the future? that would set the whole car off for sure.

at any rate, i've always had total respect for you and your ride ever since the SHO days.

[timmy0tool]

THEE cleanest (literally) CB on here! jeez i wish i kept mine that clean. great job on the front end too. simply awsome pare!

[br0nx finest]

From one Arcadia Green cb7 owner to another, I am so ready to give you cash to make me a grill like that. So hot, so innovative, so DIY :thumbsup:

And I've always been a fan of your car, because its what inspired me to stay Arcadia Green and Gunmetal'ed up! Talk to me man! I got cash!

any progress pics of when u did that grill. thanx

[Accrdkid]

Looks seriously clean for a car thats nearly 14 years old. That is hella nice.

Stupid question but how do you properly use the Clay bar? Ive got alot more to cover since I own a truck now :thumbsdwn the instructors aren't really detailed to a specific.

Ive never used it before can you give me some pointers? Just shoot me a PM :D

[fliplyricist1]

thanks a bunch guys for the comments/critiques :) greatly appreciated peeps

as per the grill, I've had several inquiries but I unfortunately won't be able to make any for a long time, regardless of the price...due to school starting back up and such. I thought I had taken more pics of the grill in its infancy stages, but apparently not? I'll upload more if I find them...but here's basically a shot of the grill after 3 layers of fiberglass and some bondo'ing...was not close to being finished at this point and still needed a ton of sanding/some shaping:

http://www.hondasociety.net/uploads/pics/grillprogress1.JPG

Here's a pic of me butchering the 92-93 grill:

http://www.hondasociety.net/uploads/pics/grillprogress2.JPG

word to the wise...do NOT do this inside the house. I was an idiot for that, and lesson learned :evil: This is probably one of the parts I hated the most, was removing the emblem

http://www.hondasociety.net/uploads/pics/grillprogress3.JPG

My dremel had the hardest time with it since it appears to have a metal backing, and once you cut it you'll see that you have to reshape and improvise the curvature to match the rest of the bar, especially since it protrudes in many areas.

And a pic of the final product being testfitted on the car...not the final fit (I lined up the eyelids and keep them affixed to the car with 3m double sided heavy duty square pads)
http://www.hondasociety.net/uploads/pics/grillprogress4.JPG

The paintjob is all original except for the hood and drivers side fender which had to be resprayed when I got into a front end collision a few months ago. I try to wash/polish/wax at least once every month. Definitely makes a difference. But I am going to repaint the front bumper and grill professionally after winter because I already know they're going to get owned by the snow and freakin salt stones they put on the highway. :( Oh well...when I do, I'll put the 3M invisible bra on there and it should keep it lookin new for awhile.

Sorry about being busy, but I'll definitely get the vid of the taillight mod up by tomorrow night

thanks again fellas :)

Using the claybar is pretty easy man. Just wash the car as normal, then using either the sudsy car wash solution or any kind of Instant Detailer spray, wet a small area and then gently work the claybar over the lubed surface, then wipe with a clean microfiber towel. After you do this the surface should be ultra slick. Always make sure to mead the claybar after doing a large area or a very dirty area, as you don't want that debris getting back on your paint job and scratching it up :tu:

here's 3 more pics...next mod will be Rota D2's in black with polished lip, then completely sand down and bondo her and paint her phantom grey or some sort of pearl black, along with a custom made fiberglassed lip soiler and rear windsheild duck spoiler like dutchaccord

I've already got an exact picture of what I want her to look like when all done, and I'm sticking with it

All I can say is your car is def. one of the cleanest accords ive seen, the pics are very creative and come out perfect, have you had any problems with the painted moldings though? They look perfect how do you keep them like that? Mine are slowly starting to lose some paint coats.

thanks alot bro, especially coming from a guy with an accord as clean if not cleaner than mine :)

I've had the moldings self-painted for about 4 years now, still no chipping. The only problem I have is on the front mudguards and the stock lip (which is now off the car) where the paint has flaked off the bottom due to constant scraping, etc. Else no chipping problems. I'm not sure why you're having problems man..did you put a lot of clearcoat? Also, did you really prep them well and use a good amount of adhesive promotor? I plan on just having everything repainted when I paint the whole car soon. I just want a new color already lol

[Accrdkid]

I cant express enough how much I really like your car. Its so clean. Unfortunately I wish I could find something like that around here. Hopefully the next one I pick up I will seriously baby it.

I baby my truck as well same thing with my gfs Civic. I learn alot but watching how people take care of their own rides.

Yours is an example of cleaniness and godlyness (if there is such a word for it)

Keep up the good work man yours is one of my favourites on the site :tu:

[DFresh19864]

yo flip, ur HID setup is seriously hot. Im considering doing it right now but im not to sure yet. If i was to do it though, it would be similar to yours...

[uncle_el]

looks good.
not feeling the type one sticker, but i understand why it's there. hurry up and get the other sidemarker in the same position, and get the car resprayed to be sans sticker!

I really want rota auto-x's in black with red lip but they don't make em in our offset :(

there is a dual lug pattern rota auto-x that is 15 x 6.5 with a 40 offset. not too low, and not too wide. :shrug: where you can get that wheel is beyond me, but per rota's website, it's available:

http://www.rotawheels.com/wheels.php
click on the pic of the auto-x, and it will tell you the available sizes.



oh, nice job on the cf lip as well.

[Grumpys93]

i am jus lovin that grill...you said diy u will to post up on how u did that?

thanks again for the replies guys!

uncle...thanks for the info, I was just thrown off by what some of the ebay auction said when they stated 114.8, which now I know was clearly erroneous. I'm still debating on whether I think they'll go with my car, however, since auto-x's only look good on cars that are pretty much slammed to the floor (due to them being 15's). D2's are coming out in 16" by the end of the year, so I'll make my decision by then

accordkid: thanks for the headsup on the links man haha

I just hate the northwest weather...I really wanted to get the paintjob during the summer, but not enough time and I didn't want to be rolling around with a primered car and have to do it all over again. Plus the grill was a PITA to make since it was my first experience with fiberglass and bondo. But by next spring the car should look like my dream cb7 with a few one-of-a-kind DIY exterior pieces like a custom flushmount wing and rear windshield spoiler

for now she shall remain untouched until after the winter road salts have left :(

Only thing that concerns me is wash/polish/wax at least once every month

I've always learned that you should only buff your car 2 times a year, and wax about 4. Be careful!

as per the mugen style lip, it's a 6th gen civic mugen style lip that I got off ebay

they have both the abs version and carbon fiber version, the carbon fiber being about 120 dollars and the abs I paid 60 bucks shipped. I'm really happy with the fitment, as it doesn't flare out on the sides...and I have a feeling it'll last a long time since I know my routes very well and am extra careful

good luck man

didn't have to cut a thing except just trim the little mounting lip in the middle, which was cake

the sides are held on with 'drumroll' zipties, you can kinda see them in the pics

I would have mounted em using L brackets but who cares, you can barely notice anyways and they hold the lip fine. there has to be a good amount of pressure to bend the lip at the sides to make it line up but it lines up great, no visible gaps at all and no flare

so u think carefully someone could make the cf one fit or no considering that u have to bend it

tell you the truth I have no idea about the properties of carbon fiber...is it bendable at all? I would think carbon fiber lips are a little flexible, because I heard that they're not pure carbon fiber but fiberglass backed. I have no clue, but I would think it's doable considering I seen someone in one of these threads with a cf lip from another car.

cool thx for the quick replies

really clean ride. Im loving the EX rims. i just recently got myself a 90 accord 4 door and i was wondering how would gunmetal hx rims look on it?
anyways, clean ride man.

[mr_adrenalin714]

Hey man, I like your one piece projectors They look Clean I been trying to look for the same ones but, I couldn't find them, so I stuck with the ones I got, with a high beam yellow

[Accord SiR]

Mods look great, still geeking off the retrofit jdm headligts.

[mysticbluemaui]

Nice 10th Ann, Flip -- Yay, for us Arcadia Green ppl! Your car is so clean, looks like you could eat off of that thing. The background of your pics look like you're a fellow Pacific Northwesterner. If so, mad props on keeping that thing so spotless. How much you charge? HEHE :)

[uncle_el]

Hey man, I like your one piece projectors They look Clean I been trying to look for the same ones but, I couldn't find them, so I stuck with the ones I got, with a high beam yellow

likely due to the fact that he does not have projector headlights. he has jdm one piece headlights, into which he retrofitted the the projector of an acura tsx into the low beam position.

she just got her new rims, new tires, and new retrofit

gonna wash her up real good tomorrow and do a shoot :thumbsup:

[TSA]

Man, the car is on fiyah.

Definitely one of the finest cars on the message boards. You have immaculate taste when it comes to your car, and I give you a lot of credit for all the DIY work.

Your car was one of my inspirations when I still had my cb7. You do really good detailing work and/or you have good camera skills. ;p Look forward to future updates. Arcadia green represent.

[erok515]

Nice overall aesthetics, Dope!!!

[aznkid.com]

i personally like your old wheels better, but it still looks hot!

[LAMSV]

One of the nicest CB7's on the board man. Very, very clean. Love the new wheels. They compliment the style of the car perfectly. Can't wait to see more DIY's.

[Coco]

Beautiful. Do you have any pictures of the cutoff? They should be mandatory whenever someone does a retrofit ;)

[g-wagon]

damn those wheels are THE fucking sex... your car is uber hot now.. one of cb7's nicest... get a h deuce in there and i'll be hawt..

[laz93se]

dude your ride is inpecable, all you need is the h22.by the way how much would you charge for a retro fit hid like yours?

[JDMHondaGuy]

Lookin great man! very clean, I like the new wheels. Man, you gotta love the headlights! Those are very nice! :tu:

[deckeda]

Count me as a fan of the Enkei ER01. I'm always a sucker for great 5-spokes. Some boner-inducing white 15s are pictured here too: http://munno.net/honda/

[TypeRLegend]

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!your car is CLEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :tu: :tu: :tu:

[caseycoker]

Those rims make all the difference. Very nice indeed. I am helping out my friend who has a tow truck company. We are towing all the flooded cars in the New Orleans area. I have retrofitted some lexus headlight guts into my headlights. They don't have the "flicker" as in the acura projectors. Still showing my cool blue from my HIDs. As soon as I find a BMW or Acura I am switching out.

[fliplyricist1]

thanks a lot for the feedback guys much appreciated :thumbsup:

and the rims are 16x7 and actually came identical to those white ones in the link. I just wasn't feelin the white, but upon retrospect, I think it would have looked pretty darn good. Oh well...I like the polished look too, and I can always paint them later if I want.

here's some more pics I took with my new camera...still need to play around with the shutter/aperture, since I use all manual controls and no flash

[deckeda]

OK, I get it now. Maybe if I was more familiar with those rims I'd have known they start white. You did after all say "fully polished".

1) So here's a nOOb question: How does one sand off all the paint, especially in the crevasses? And then after polishing did you clearcoat them?

2) Also --- I see some calipers now "in need of paint". But maybe not the usual red, something more subtle instead like charcoal gray might be better against the Arcadia. Even black would be OK.

I got a DupliColor Caliper Paint Kit (red) that I think looks great for my Titanium Gray MPV's calipers. $15 at Wally World (but they didn't carry other colors). Best part is you brush it on; don't have to take anything apart of tape off anything.

Anyway, not that you asked!

[greencb7inkc]

PROPS bro :tu: mad skillz..aside from the projectors in the headlights..i love the front end..mad skillz man..mad skillz

[Dom]

Pictures look great. Btw didn't you make that Charge speed grill?? I'm trying to figure it out because it almost looks better then anyone I have seen before.

[H23Accord]

The new pictures look fantastic! all of those have the possibility of being somebody's screen background. It is amazing how well you have kept your car and only continue to enhance it's appeal. Great job on everything and as I have mentioned to you before...grea choice on the retrofit ;) Still waiting on that quad projector retrofit idea to transpire :p

Thanks a lot for the feedback guys, it's greatly appreciated :thumbsup:


As per the grill, yep I made it out of a stock 92-93 grill and then a set of gts headlight covers, made several templates/measurements...then cut out the headlight covers. I wanted to make the 'eyelids' thicker and more substantial than the real chargespeeds so that it was more noticable and covered up the projectors just perfectly. Then I fibergallsed the two together with 3 layers of fiberglass cloth, and then several layers of bondo. Was a pain in the ass, but at the time I didn't have a job, and 300-400 for a grill was NOT in my plan. All in all, it's a mod I wouldn't trade for the world, but at the same time I'm not sure I would ever do it again.

I had a bunch of pics of the process, but unfortunately I lost all my files in a recent harddrive crash. Just takes some thought and ingenuity...I'd love to see one of you guys try and it post up your results...which'll be better than mine :)

[Boost_Lee]

u continue to amaze and inspire me, the DIY for that grill is a PITA, but im workin on it as well
