Nice!! love the hatch what happened to the other rims? flat? damn that is some pimp shit! O yea Amber made the car Sexy in that one pic :D

[pimp86LX]

NICE WORK :D

[ProtoVivanta]

Very nice, love the decal, where did you happen to aquire that?

[bobafett]

well the steelies are because i had crazy camber wear on my tires from being dropped too low without camber correction, and i had a cracked rim, which i was unsure about driving on...

i plan on buying some 15" rota attacks eventually. after this weekend i will have all 4 steelies though.. at least i will match! hehe

the decal was purchased from nate at www.stickercutting.com but no, he wont make any more decals for us. so dont even bother asking :(

is everyone asleep or what??? more responses heheh

[A Dawg Jr]

yeah they are stock hatch tails.. heh

steelies are fun cause now i can chirp and squeal all over... :D

[MattsAccord]

Yeah I miss being able to chirp my tire going into second and third. I guess thats you you get most of the time when you get bigger rims and more agressive tires.

[bobafett]

yeah.. i have never actually been able to chirp into 3rd. now i am worried and mad .lol.

these are "kumho's" lol with an "A" traction rating.. hahahah so maybe thats why i can only chirp into 2nd...

with the 17s and potenzas i NEVER chirped 2nd unless i was burning.. :D

good thing he didn't post the pic of me spazzing out while eating candy! haha and damnit i wanted to pose on his car by straddling it or something, but he wouldn't let me climb on his car:crying: guess i'll have to do it to my own car! ;)

[bobafett]

:rolleyes: lol she's always trying to hurt my car.. heheh

like slamming the door shut with her hip when its "not quite latched" i swear thats gonna leave a dent after a while.. my car is mangled enough as is... hehe

[HostileJava]

Looking sexy as always.

[stizle]

yah it looks good but one thing, Take the silencer out of the muffler. Then your car would sound and look good!

[guaynabo89]

Looks good. Nice work

I see you made yourself a set of euroclear front signals.

Any close up pics?

[89accord_lxi_coupe]

ok, i finally figured it out. i kept sitting here trying to figure out what it was that looked different. it finally hit me, you painted the silver hood trim black. that kept throwing me off, i thought something was missing on it. looks good, and i like your mesh grill insert. those are some clean tails you got on there, and i personally like the muffler the way it is.

HE did what? I dont think he painted the trim.. Mine wasnt like that I THINK

[HostileJava]

The hatch trim is black. No chrome.

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Look great! Nice job.

[NXRacer]

bobafett do you still have a image file of the 3geez logo? I have a shop here in town that cuts stickers, but i need a file or something that he can make a pattern out of. He makes me stickers for my business and he only charges $4 a piece i think for stickers about the same size as your 3geez one.

[bobafett]

well tell you what. if we can do a collective search, and find out who created that logo, or at least what font it is, i can make a real file for it...

also, i have a friend who can cut stickers, and he would charge (ME) a shit load less.... so if you guys each sent me like $2 i could pay him $1 for a sticker and have the rest cover shipping so i dont LOSE money..

i will talk to him, but i dont see any reason why he wouldnt hook me up. :) i will let you know. and since i am prolly gonna end up building a new sticker logo, what are some changes or improvements that you would like to see?

and yeah, i can dig up a close of of the clears
http://www.com-tech-online.com/car/newfrontlens.gif

[NXRacer]

i did a search yesterday for everything i could think of and i didnt come up with anything. plenty of people had them, just nobody mentioned where they got them. I like the way it looks now, just i'd like it to say "3rd generation accord performance" instead of "86-89 accord performance". just a thought. i dont really care either way.

*edit*
here it is w/out the circle......

http://www.geocities.com/n20_racing/3glogo.txt

[blazin3gen]

is this what u guys are talkin about here ya go

http://3geez.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=17184

[bobafett]

yeah but we need the adobe illustrator files i think... i will get ahold of my friend and see what file type he can use...

if we took out that circle thats the sticker i have. i just need to know what font that is, and i can replicate it

[Mike's89AccordLX]

I like your blinkers I think I will get a set of 86-87 blinkers and clear them out. And put some CF vinyl in there. Do the 86-87 blinkers have the reflective insides like the 88-89 ones do? I like how those lines are in there too. What thickness did you use? looks like almost a 1/8"

I want one of those stickers like nate made that chris has.

[bobafett]

the lenses are custom. so you might as well keep your 89 housings, and just make a set for yours... i just used 1/8 lexan and scored the lines with a utility knife. i cut out the design on a bandsaw, but you could do the same thing with a dremel.

[bobafett]

http://www.com-tech-online.com/car/sticker2.gif

[NXRacer]

not bad! except i'd prefer not to have the lines running through it IMO.

[LX-i Girl]

that's what i thought. i like the font, but the font like that doesn't have one without the lines. we've both been searching through all of our fonts to see what looks best...

[NXRacer]

it wouldnt be hard to change that.....i took the circle out of the one i posted in paint. i know thats the ghetto way to do it but i dont have any good programs here at work..........

[LX-i Girl]

oh yeah i'm sure we could just "fill it in" using photoshop, but it is kind of ghetto, but then if that's all we can do....i dunno we'll keep working on it

[HostileJava]

I know I have that font, it's going to have to wait till I get home though.

[bobafett]

cool man.. you mean the font from the original? that would be perfect. then i can just shoot the illustrator file down to my buddy and get a couple test stickers.. :D

[NXRacer]

here's my try at fixing it.......not bad for ms paint....... :lol

http://www.geocities.com/n20_racing/sticker2.txt

bobafett, send the file to me too when you get one done right.....

[bobafett]

yeah but thats not the point. u cant make a sticker with a low res image like that. it needs to be either an adobe illustrator file, or a reallly really high res bmp. this is a vector based machine. so it doesnt rely on pixels to make the sticker.. :)

if we tried to make a sticker from that it would look REALLY choppy. im sure you guys have seen stickers like that before.

thanks for the effort though... we will get a cool sticker made soon enough!

[pimp86LX]

yay for vector based drawings!

someone make it in Auto-CAD or hell even Flash. :super:

[bobafett]

well if we can get the font it will be as simple as typing it out in illustrator... thats what i am saying. i have a lot of cool fonts, but its just MY opinion about what looks good, so i am trying to use what we all have agreed upon as a cool looking sticker...

if hostile sends me this font then i can mock the sticker i have no sweat! :)

also this way i can tweak things i could make changes for people with special requests, we could even do like the dsm talk guys do, and have a username included with the sticker.... they are a much larger group, and most of their cars are hot.. so its a little less ghetto.. :D but its an idea nonetheless

[NXRacer]

my guy can scan it into his computer and make a file out of that so it'll smooth out. i'll just wait till you get a good one......save me some time........besides, cant any decent graphics program smooth edges so they look good???

[bobafett]

well to have truly smooth edges u have to use a vector based imaging program. with a raster based program, even if it appears smooth on the screen, when it prints, it will look like ass. same with the sticker. yes we could do it that way, but why be ghetto about it, when we can do it right.

[NXRacer]

well i tried......heh heh u da man. looks like you have a good taste in what looks good. lemme know when you get a good template made.

[bobafett]

yeah i am just waiting on that font. once i get that its gravy! :)

this image will be public domain, its not like anyone is gonna make money off of 3geez stickers lol... so little of us, and so little of us will ever actually order one.. heh

[BITESIZE]

Nice hatchback....and clears...
http://myweb.cableone.net/antonl//david/MVC-003F.JPG

[89AccordLvr]

nice hatch ... very clean.... nice clears, i still cant clear mines and i have an 89.. i agree with stizle remove the silencer so it sounds good ... that exhaust system is very rusty it sucks to be u in the snow ull need to change that soon right?

[bobafett]

i hope i dont need to change my exhuast soon. i just got it last summer. thats just what happens to that type of tubing. when i get it redone i will get the aluminized shit that doesnt rust, but i didnt know any better when it got done the first time.. :)

yeah i have had the silencer removed. seriously at 3000rpm and above it hurts my ears... i dont like that. it sounds really nice and quiet now, which is great. i can go 90 on the freeway and still hold a conversation, because i can still hear myself think. it does sound good without the silencer, but i couldnt handle the noise.

thx about the clears. i offered to make more a while back. maybe i will just buy some lexan and make like 10-20 sets and sell them off over time... they do look better than any other clears i have seen...

[BITESIZE]

I have the same muffler, I just keep a set of wrenches with me, so when I'm travelling on the freeway, I put the silencer in. When I'm in town I let that baby blaze........

[89AccordLvr]

wat brand muffler is it

[bobafett]

generic fireball style muffler. i think the brand might be bomz though

[zero.counter]

Very nice looking, IMO.

My lenses are also custom. I did mine a long time ago but I kinda like the different look yours has. Oh and I like the sticker but without the lines going through them.

[HostileJava]

I'm almost positive the font is "Gill Sans Ultra Bold" and then Italisize it. If you need the font let me know.

[bobafett]

ok thanks. i will do a search. if you wouldnt mind. you could email me the font?

[email protected]

[bobafett]

ok well thanks to hostile java i can now make it look however we want them to look! :)

here is an idea i am playing with. what about personalized stickers. if 3geez gets big enough, this would be meaningful, it would also be cool to recognize someones user name if we saw their car around town. what do you think?

if not, we can eassssily change stuff around however people need it. :)

http://www.com-tech-online.com/car/sticker3.gif

[LX-i Girl]

awwww you made one for me?! i feel so special now! ;)

[HostileJava]

Can you make one for me?

Actually if you did that in photoshop or Illistrator or somthing, I'd rather you just send me that file.

[email protected]

[NXRacer]

hey bobafett - email me the 3rd gen logo with and w/o my username. thanks!

[email protected]

[bobafett]

86-89 accord performance
OR
3rd Gen accord performance

[HostileJava]

[wprocomp]

[bobafett]
