I decided to go for a more stock look, so i bought Acura CL 16 wheels, also put rear door handles in the front(helps prevent theives). Sold the CF hood.

Original paint except for the bumpers, and trunk lid :)
Accords are the best! Especially G4's!

[tinted_ride66]

wow! looks like you've put a lot of money in all of the mods over the years. A few questions: Where did you happen to find that JDM si COMPLETE front bumper (and uh...how much $$$), did you get that shipped? That is quite impressive. And how did you/where did you get your leather seats/panels done? Did you just leather over the cloth and get the leather professionally done? I remember your car from your signature, it impressed me then. These new pics are even more amazing. Very nice paint job, awesome trunk conversion, and I want that front end!

[timmy0tool]

i'm glad you have ventured on over here. we surely can benefit from your expertise on our beloved 4th gens. awhile back, i've seen your car develop through hondasociety. you and your car are one of the reasons that i kept my cb and continue to improve upon it. the love for my car has extensively grown into obsession. the interior is exactly how i wanted mine to be 4 years ago. i still want it but i know i prolly will never have it, as well as the built H22. the jdm front end was in my wish list ever since i got my car in 97, and i'm glad they are more attainable now. ultimately i want to say thank you pearl for inspiring me and my love for this little hobby. you're swell! :D .

just a heads up. you might want to review the rules before the mods see your post. i believe all you are missing is a list of the all the current mods on your car. i know people here will be dying to know what you have invested in. don't keep them waiting.

[TDUBZ]

WOW:shocked: nice car. I'm usually not a fan of white cars but yours looks sweet, keep up the good work:tu:. How did u make those leather seats?

[uncle_el]

as respect for member's that inspired me and got me put on to what was what with the 4gen accord/cb7, i edited your 1st post (rather than delete it or lock it). feel free to make changes to the mods section as i'm sure i left out tons of things, and perhaps have some inaccuracies there.

please stay around, as i'm sure your expertise will help many around here.

[92accordDx]

damn man that shit is nice. the paint is in great shape.

[JailBa8]

Wow she still purrs. I thought the car was sold..... guess not eh

[93akorddse]

thats one nice accord....i like everything on it
I'm also loving the one with the kit too, i haven't seen one like exactly like that

[accordzoom]

beautiful,
I too fell for the bodykit but then reverted back to stock
looks like a 92-93 to me:boink:

[jdm91cb]

very nice diggin the whole setup sweet ride bro.

[BustedLX]

To bad the JDM bumper cover bit the dust. It's so nice to have the fog cut outs done by the factory.

[ZigenBallZ]

Amber is the OG JDM freak...:D

I agree...:boink:

[rebels]

That is a very hot car! The white looks awesome, interior is clean, and just everything all clashes together. Do you still have the combat rear bumper? I need a new one because I tore mine all up.

Keep up the good work and definitely keep us posted!

By the she's a woman eh

[ProjectCB7]

Looks super nice!

How much was that JDM front kit? I want one of those really bad... Where you get it?

[mrhonda]

Dude, that is an oh so sweet Accord.....probably the cleanest and most tasteful modded Accord I've ever seen. No ground effects, no wings, no weird colors....it looks perfect, especially with the Acura wheels. What can I say....I LOVE it.

[HondaFan81]

Very nice & clean....simply elegant.... I like the first pic the best. Tastefully done. 4G's look so hott when done up like this, they rival the luxury sedans IMO.

[AznBadAss92LX]

Pearly DoO!! Where are you!!! GOD i havent heard from you in a long time Amber...you dont post much on HS...still lovin your ride...god youve been thru a lot of kits...i remember gettin to kno you back in the day...I STILL LOVE YOU!!...:luv:

[HighRevs22]

amber!!!! My jdm goddess has returned. I'm sad to hear you got rid of your 4g, you put a helluva lot of work into it. I have always given you maaad props. Props 4 lyfe:D

[PakaloloHonda]

There's that 92-93 Trunk Lid conversion I wanna do .. swweeeeeeet!! wow!

Wish you'd return Amber .. have a couple a quick questions like some of the others ..
In the first image, it looks as if there's a lil gap or *off-set* in the pass side tails..
none on the other? Like to know how everything went together for you??
Degree of difficulty on a scale of 1-10?? .. lol

Great lookin CB7 Amber .. C'mon back ..thanks for all the images ..

A Hui Hou !!
Paka

[JDMCBDriver]

pearl was one of the best lookin 4th gen accords on hondasociety when i used to be on there!! whats done to the h22?

[pearlacord]

Sorry its taken so long for me to get back to this.. i went to Lake Havasu for Mem. weekend! What a crazy fun time!

Wow... why'd you have to edit my first post? :( The mods are always different, and dont pertain to the car at certain times in his life. Owell... sheesh!
I only had nitrous on the car for a short time, and that was when i had the stock engine, and my first h22(stock). My 2nd h22, and my 3rd h22, i removed the nitrous.

JDMCBDriver- and anyone else who asked about the built h22, Thanks for the compliments!!! They mean SO much to me! Lets see if i can remember about the engine, Scott (2Point6) knows more about that engine then me. 12.5:1 compression. Sleeved block, with forged pistons, rods, lightened.. and balanced crank shaft. Removed balance shaft. The complete head was built by JG racing(back when they were good!), in which they stamped the head in several places(JG), with various work.. squared off domes... ect..ect.. hmm... Complete Crower valve train... converted to manual tensioner... ECU is completey mapped by XS engineering, on a dyno specifically for this engine only..It was made to be a N/A engine. I never really raced it at the drag strip, as i am not a fan of drag racing, only road racing. But it ran a 12.3 @111mph in a full body Civic coupe(Correct me if im wrong Scott?).


PakaloloHonda-- Thank you.. :) Yeah, those red and clear tail lights fit just so-so... that inner one especially didnt fit as well as the others. Hey, whats to be expected of aftermarket parts..right?
Everything wasnt too hard to do.. It all has to do with patience and money! Im the kind of person where i have to have everything done right. No half-ass stuff... so its important to pick a good body shop that does good quality work, as they are the ones who put on pretty much all the body parts i did.

HighRevs22 & AznBadAss92LX-- I remember you guys!!! Cool ass cats from back in the old days of honda society when it first opened!!! :) I love you guys!!

HondaFan81 & mrhonda-- thanks guys! All G4's are the best!!

ProjectCB7-- thanks! I imported that front end from Japan, along with alot of other Japanese parts for various cars. I dont know how hard it is to get anymore JDM front ends for the 4th gen accord, but if you have the money, and the patience, try contacting Motorsport Warehouse- www.motorsportwarehouse.com or JDMPartZ@aol.com My cost price was around $500-$700 for a complete JDM front end.

JailBa8-- yatta! all girlie! :)

rebels shanman-- Thanks guys! No unfortunately i dont have the bumper anymore... sorry.. I would look around, or contact Motorsport whse

ZigenBallZ, cpmike-- thanks Z! JDM shite is the best! :D

93accordEX-- I gave my JDM front end to you b/c you have always been a great friend to me on the net... and always stood by me and my car! It should be there anyday now.. You better send me the first pictures before you show them to anyone else! Geee--wizzzz! I MISS that front end!! I hope it will work out ok.. it just needs some tlc, and it will be HOT again.

97Lude-- thanks guy! Shes a hot hottie!

[b]usc[b/]-- heh.. my car has always thought your G4 was hot!

[pearlacord]

not sure if i answered everyone here.. but thanks for all the nice replies... I really appreciate them all! G4 accords are the best, and by far the best car i have ever owned! Please keep your ispiration for your car always.. everything takes time, and patience! Time to go eat dinner... :)

[rebels]

Are you ever on AIM? I've got some other questions that would probably be quicker to answer on there than playing message tag.

AIM: rebels

[h22aAccord93]

ey dude i love your caaarr !

[1CrawlinAccord]

I agree. This car is very choice. Everything is done with taste and it is perfect in almost every asset. Good work. :tu:

[shawn.hayden]

Where'd you get the 2.0 Si front end? I'd like to get me one of those (need a grill, wnat the headlights, and the front bumper would just be a bonus :D)

It's still the factory white, except the parts she replaced on it like the trunk lid, side moldings, bumpers.. but the body of the car is the OEM white.

[CBShichi]

i'm loving the pic of the engine bay featuring the "no power steering" haha i had my line hanging around like that for a little while but got tired of it every now and then rattling against my hood so i ripped out every bit of it.

[accord_inspire]
