Finally got my accord back from being painted last night! I was shocked to see that, THAT was the same car i sent in there. Makes such a huge differance, so proud if it! I can definately say I have the nicest 3rd gen in the city with no doubts! Had to throw the rims on this morning for some pictures, I couldn't wait til spring! :thumbup:

Hmmm, looks just like Juan's except for the wheels. Still very nice tho. I wish the body looked that good on my car.

Nothing beats a Xenon kit on a white car. Now get that accord stored for the winter before the salt eats it.

Thanks guys! I know it does look like Juans car. All the props to him though. Only thing that I really took from him was the tails, and I had that long long ago. The kit and the shaving are a pretty generic thing. I was worried people would say I tried to copy him etc when really i didn't. Anyways, under the hood isn't going to be home to a b16 but I am planning to run boost. :wave: Next things are going to be a light tint and a rear component set, then im going to continue buying turbo parts!

Looks GREAT!! :thumbup: Our Accords always look really good in that nice bright white, especially with a kit. Like the rims too.... they look just like mine, only white instead of silver

nice look. IMO does not look like rice. lol, i like how the car just sort of blends in with the snow. How much did it cost again, cause i'm looking into getting my car repainted.

That car actually looks very tastefully done; I'd pimp it three ways from Sunday. :D

Looks good and definatly nice to see a beat up accord transformed into a nicely done accord. On the flip side you guys are killing all my hope for a white coupe with the xenon kit. I think i really need to change my plan and do a odd color that is not common possibly the red metalic i have.

Good job!

Very sweet! Now that is what the dude on here making 3G tee shirts should use as a template (even if it isn't a Coupe :) )! Very nice representation of the 3G.

Very, Very Nice!
Makes me sad looking at how far away My 3g is from looking that good. I have so much work to do! damn...
Mad props though; and glad its Canadian!

thats a beauty eh. man, thats pretty clean i gotta say. its the shit! lol. man, i cant wait to get my 3gee painted. and i still cant decide on what exactly i want, but i hope it'll look good with its body kit put on and painted nice. well anyway, the white with white rims looks really good. if they are salting the road or puttin chemicals, i'd say dont let her see the road for about a month till you can wax it. now exactly what color are we lookin at there? just a plain white or does it have pearl or something in it? :thumbup: :thumbup:

Haha. A very clean looking ride indeed. Nice to see Juan back up on this board (if he decides to stay around this time's up to him...heh). C'mon Juan...you know you want to stay.

Yea, the car is off the road now. It was only on the road for the drive home from the paint shop and the roads were dry, with the exception of the side streets.
I just put the rims on for a few pictures, as far as it is down the driveway is as far as she went! haha! It is going to be put in a garage for the rest of the winter in a week or two thankfully!!

The car has been repainted the stock white! IMO it looks amazing! You should see how yellowish the old paint was, even after a wax! I forgot to mention the car also has red underglows! haha! The motor is being done up this winter for turbo. So when it rolls out in spring it will definately be a sight to see!! :)

You need to take pics of the underglows on in your driveway with snow on the ground. That would look hotter ;) Very nice ride! I can't wait until I get my accord body done up nicely.

I'm from Canada, I speak much better spanish than french, and i've spent some time in Havana, I even have a big stash of cuban stogies, haha whats wrong with that?

haha I was actually thinking of doing that! The rims aren't on anymore they are sitting in my room, but I think I will anyways! Kinda bored here. I'll see if I can post up the pics later on today!

here we go, for the non-believers :thumbup:

http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_img_b/290159_94_full.jpg

Sad sad thing about these though, the transformer I have here isn't doing what its supposed to, 1 of my 4 bars fully light up the one on the driver side dims out near the end there and the back is dim and the passenger side dosen't even light anymore!!! Bunch of bullshit! I'm in the process of fixing the transformer, just no time lately to open it up and see what the problem is. I have til may/june anyways!

If anyone knows exactly what could have happened, or if it may not be the transformer please let me know! I am fairly electrically inclined, have tried new grounds new 12v sources bypassing the switch etc and it does the same shit! My guess is its the transformer not giving enough power, since the lights are dimming out. They worked fine for a few weeks when I had them on, fuses are good. Let me know if you guys have any other ideas!!

OH and also the glows are hooked up through the factory cruise control switch, for the stock look!! :rockon:

Not like a rock
12-09-2004, 05:24 PM
I usually think that underglow is a waste, bat that makes it look sooo hot. My car just came out of the shop today with all new metal in the rear, so I hope it will be as NICE as that someday.
