Just a little tire dressing and it will look better IMO. The front fogs are, different nothing like those lancer fog/headlights which make the car look like 4 eyes

Looks good, I don't really like the way the big Fogs are mounted though. They'd look much better in the bumper or hanging down from the bottom of the bumper.

Those big lights aren't fogs. There already are little fog lights "hanging" from the bumper. Look the pics closely and you'll see. Those big lights are extra high beams.

Either way, I don't find them attractive.

I could remove them, but they're practical and it leaves an ugly hole if I take them off.

yes...extremely gay. these are european accord's originals :barf:

i had also these. at first i used orange-colored tape on the white area of the lights - a bit less gay. then i did custom clears from plexi... like a new car :)

the black rims....yea, they are much better without the hubcaps

He doesn't mean the parking lights/turning signals, but the extra high beams next to the driving lamps, geddit? :pimp:

I could take 'em off but they leave ugly mounting holes in there and it costs too much to repair the bumper :(.

LX, EX and DX in Europe aren't the same as in the US. We don't even have the DX model here. EX means that the car has power windows and other luxury. LX model in Europe means the there's no power antenna, power windows or anything.

thats what i meant. But now that i look at it, it would make the front look much better with some clear lenses. Will the lenses from the US ones fit in your accord?

Hmm... an interesting idea! I haven't even thought about it. I was thinking of making clear lenses by myself but if those US Accord lenses fit in mine, I could buy them somewhere.

By the way, there is ONE US Accord here in my hometown. I could go switch my lenses with that one during the night time :D... just kidding.

I can take pics of my lenses and put a ruler next to it so that you can see the size of the lens.

i ran blacks on my car but my car is black with the windows tinted also so i think it made my car ugly because there was to much black.

hm..so far i thought that EX is the "usual" model with black bumpers, no power windows and A20A2 (like my EX '86)....later came EXi which had the fancy power windows, painted bumpers and stuff....also A20A4.
