[k-mart]

no a big fan of the mirrors (i can see you arent either, lol)...but the lip and the grille look awesome

update the pics asap when you install the neuspeed sports!!!

[oneoffaccord]

feelin that shit for real. front lip a plus, the mirrors are a negative, but anyway keep the pics rolling and check out my ride. tell me what you think

[JDMcb7]

Looks good, just lacks a drop.

[see bee seven]

clean...look better dropped...i need to do the same..lol...stay up!

[rebels]

Looks good.. I will buy your M3's from you if you don't want them anymore.

How much did you pay for your Neuspeed springs? I have a set for sale! Anyways, you'll be in for a good smooth ride.

Keep up the good work, I like that color.

[Deryk999]

Nice start, how do u like your tails, any leaking thanks

[vmchurch]

Rebels: Ill send you the M3 mirrors for trade if you got OEM ones that you wanna get rid of. Otherwise ill sell em, i just gotta find some OEM. PM me bro

Deryk999: No leaks yet, i put black elec tape over the gaps by the top of the trunk opening, that should keep them for a while. Sooner or later ill silicone them.

Thanks for the input folks, ill post pics as soon as i get the springs/shocks instaled. btw, i paid 90 bucks SHIPPED! for the springs, they are 3 months old.

I'd also like to know if you are experiencing any leaks from the tails.

and GIMME GIMMME GIMME the lip lol

[vmchurch]

No leaks, ill post pics of what i did to them as soon as it gets dropped.

[Smiley_cb7]

auto to manual swap

[shawn.hayden]

lookin good! keep it up man!

[Maple50175]

Looks great! Finally you add some pics I like the lip

[timmy0tool]

awsome start! one suggestion i would give at the moment is this:

thewoahna has a great idea here and it indeed does make it look a lot better. also, i bet you scrape a bit already with that lip. what more with a drop. neuspeed race gives a pretty hefty drop in itself. i'm just trying to warn you. i don't want to see a broken lip on such a nice car! but i'm sure you did your homework . keep us updated.

[AccordWarrior]

Oh man...seeing that lip makes me drool. I had always thought that lip was overkill for a non-dropped car on factory alloys (aka mine) so I ended up getting the 94-95 lip for like $5 and throwing that on, but seeing that lip makes me wonder...

Overall tho your car looks very familliar and that is definitely not a bad thing. I like your list of future mods, looks very similar to mine. I have Neuspeed Sports and AGX's going in pretty soon. That's such a clean car, I always wondered what a body colored grill would look like with the clear corners/bumpers. This definitely tells me they would work well.

I also have done the tail light mod. It does take a day or two to get used to, but the difference it makes is well work it. If you do not like the black you can always use red paint/pin stripe. On my car I used black pinstripe instead of paint since it did seem easier to me.


I still can't get over how clean your car is and no rust to speak of either. I'm jealous. I'm also a fan of the tint, it might be something I'll have to look into in the future.

As far as where I would go from where your car is in the pics.

Check out the bumper light conversion or maybe if you can find a set of OEM fogs. They're around for the 90-91, I'm almost sure there's still a set of two you can buy from Honda. I'd take a look into the Neuspeed front strut brace. I have one and think its one of the best mods I've done. Since your car is a F22a4, I would look into the A6 manifold swap with the PT6 ecu. It will be a cheap bolt on that would give you a lot of power. Which Apex'i exhaust are you going to get. I just go the World Sport 2 system and I'm very pleased with it. Its dead quiet, provided a noticeable power boost and unlike most people, mine doesn't hang low. I think an OEM spoiler would add a lot to your car as well, clean up the back end and finish it off. I don't know what I'd do to the interior, I have the Integra headrests and they're pretty cool. But whatever you choose I'm sure will look good since you've got a great start right there.
