Hey guys, first post here, this forum ROCKS. Anyways, here are some pics of my first car (I'm 16) http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/633956 I just got it this week. The funny thing is, is that I had been looking for CRX's around here for some time, and they are hard to find and sell FAST around here. Anyways, I was just looking through autotrader, and came across this accord, I'd always liked how they looked too, but didn't really know much about them. Was a pretty nice surprise when I came home and found out that the model I had wasn't as easy to find as the others, and I had just seen it in the morning and bought it in the afternoon, lol. Anyways, this car kicks butt. FYI, it has 177,000 miles about, and I payed $1,995 for it. Couple spots of rust, but not too bad. Washed it and went over with some wax as u dry stuff and it looks really nice (after I took those pics). Again, awesome site, you'll probably see a lot more of me, along with a lot of questions.

Excellent find on a SE-i. Its even more rare to find them in a gray leather interior.

You got real lucky man. SE-i's are hard to come by. I wish I had your luck. It looks good. The leather is in really nice shape. Great find and not a bad price either.

I wanted a two door Se-i myself....but found a really clean Lx-i hatch I could'nt pass up. What a great car you've got to start from! (Or leave it alone? LOL)

looks really good. i'd reccomend some meguire's leather cleaner/conditioner on those seats. that shit works pretty well to soften up the leather. there's other ones you could try also. you will want to use some kind of conditioner on them though or else those stretch marks will turn into nasty rips. so the grey interior is hard to find? i mean i know the SE-i is hard to find, but also the grey leather? damn, i could have gotten a whole interior a while back that was grey leather. they crushed the car when i wanted to go back for it. ah, too bad, i got prelude seats instead.

open your door and look on the side for a color code.


YR-87M Laguna Gold Metallic that's my guess on the color unless Sei isn't listed on this page the link below.

I just checked the color code. It's NH-502M, which is Asturias Gray Metallic. That color is listed under Sedan on that link you gave me, but mine's a coupe, go figure.

well done on the se-i find! looks incredible. for a leather conditioner, use dr. jackson's hide rejuvenator (made by tandy leather company). all you need to buy is one canister and it is surely under $10 in the US (its just under 10 in canada). if used, the minor cracks should absorb and close right up (if its not too late to recover). my leather is grey as well, but yours is even more mint, thats great to see. that car can last forever as long as you take care of it, do your best! :)
