same state of construction, new pics. RacerX(MotoRex) has offered me a $10000 co-op sponcership on my car so the construction will be more rapid. I would be happy to answer any questions you have. I will post a tutorial when the body is finnished showing exactly how I made the kit fit. BTW its the black widow kit w/ Skyline front meant for the 4th gen Accord.

when u plan on painting the car and how much modifying did you have to do on the front bumper and side skirts since i have a hatchback i dont need to know the rear bumper

I am going to paint the car by July- there is still alot more body work to do. The sideskirts were relatively easy; just cut, re-fiberglass and bolt on. The front is a little more complicated and I will just put up a diagram when I am all done

Yeah, when I first saw it I was like wtf is this guy doing? And it doesn't look that bad to me anymore. It will look tight when it's painted and everything.

The wheels are off a Civic I used to have- I never knew where they came from (who made them). Are they really Volvo rims?

I actually would like those rims on a stock 3g but since its all modified I would say get rid of them.

I just went through the pics again and I think you need a Weber. It will serve as show and go :D I just wasn't diggin the look of that air box that brings back bad memories. Weber = good memories :)

we were going to flare out the front of the front bumper, but now I think I'm going to get Feels style fender flares( I know they dont make them for our car)

rims aint so bad.. u could get better to go with the kit and also hurry and get it painted those colors are so UGLY... someone might start throwin vegetables and dairy products at it if u dont hurry and paint its ok tho.. :)

I really dont like it, the kit is to big for the car, the wheels are to small, the gap between the fender and the tire is huge and you cant get it any smaller because the kit is basicly on the ground! Lastly, i dont think it would look very nice when the lights are up either. Just my opinion

Likeing all the blue under ur hood, really stylish. But i agree that u need to hurry up and paint the funny colours of the kit:flash:. Great work tho.:)

Yeah, I think that it has been stated enough that you need to paint that damn kit! Haha. And yes, some bigger rims would benifit your car greatly.

The car wont be painted till all body work is done. THere is alot more custom body work being done to the car then just the kit. Also, as I said before, the wheels are temporary, I put them on cause there better then stock

i think it will look good, and I hope the front will stick out a bit more. From the side shot, that bumper makes the front end look really flat. I dont like that.........

I'm planing on painting it like the drawing thats in the gallery

I am now sponsered by RacerX. I can't wait to start using the money. It's a $10,000 co-op, so they pay 52% and I pay the other48%. It's a good deal becuase I'll save $5,200.

DUDE!!! Your doing exactly what I'm doing, Except I purchaced the Front R33 front bumper for a 93 Integra 4DR and Black Widow Rear for a 93 Integra 4DR. Since yours is a 4th Gen Accord, mine should be a little more square on the front bumper. I'm glad I got to see it. Fast Lane still has my body kit in thier warehouse.

He actually has a third gen or "3GEEZ" accord. Thats good news that you guys are getting sponsorships for our gen of cars. Maybe thats why when I see a 3geez for sale its gone the next day.
They still have lots of usage.

Man, I really dont like the look of that, the front bumper would be sweet if the corners were more square because the corners of the car stick out like a sore thumb. But good luck with the sponsorship and it will be interesting to see more progress and the finaly result.

Looks pretty nice. Forget the weber swap. What would really look nice is an EFI swap under that hood.

When I'm done I'm planning on getting the place racing mounts and swapping in a B16. I'm dont care much about speed ( Allthough it is nice) But I just love the looks of that engine.
