New to the community, "1990 Accord EX"

[SkylineWalkrGTR]

I am a new person to the community, this is my 1990 Accord ex Sedanhttp://www.cb7tuner.com/thumbsup.gif


what you see here is about 5 months worth of customizing and repairing that I did myself. There were some aspects of peeling paint that i could take care of but not all. Future plans include, getting a dark red paint job to match the rims, small rear spoiler and rear window spoiler (not sure of the term for it), and getting different colored led lights for the front lights. And whatever else i think of in there near future. so stay tuned!

this is the aftermarket air filter i put in today, enjoying the sound and what feels like a power gain lol.

so if there's any tips you guys wanna give me, i'm more than grateful to here them.

But i'm pretty happy with the overall look

Nice sedan! think about some L.E.D.s for your corner lights, and some Clear or Amber corners and bumper Blinkers are cheap from Amazon or Ebay and make a huge difference

i only wish we had cb7 car meets or at least car meets in general in the triangle. but do you guys have any tips or suggestions on anythings, or am i doing a fine job on my own? lol

Welcome! & body kits suck. You may like them and there may be another 5% out there who dig them, and they can sometimes look good..... but my opinion is that they suck. Especially on a boxy car like ours.

But digging the OEM window visors you have there, nice! Some suggestions on easy stuff you can do to help your car....

- Paint bumper stops (middle black line going around car. Just tape it off, scuff it up, and spray paint will do! Aim to make it the same color as the window visors (do your side skirts too if ya want).

thanks for the suggestions, i guess i wont do a body kit for the good point you made. I already like the look of the stock kit anyway lol. but what are the circle looking lights on your headlights called(its the middle lamp between the signal and the high beams, there really sick. Thanks again.

Those are called Halos, and I ordered them from theretrofitsource.

Thanks man. Experience = It costs a lot of money to go fast & you break more shit which costs money. Then you're addicted and want to go faster, and break more shit

[SkylineWalkrGTR]

yah that makes sense, i guess that's something later down the road i would do but how much did you spend on the hole turbo project if you don't mind telling.
