Anyone got any idea how to get rid of that yellowish beige pinstripe down the side? It's probably in another thread so I'll just search it.

[Luis 89LXi]

Nice car Freddy !

Paint job looks good, you have done alot of work on that car.

i know i read a post somewere on the site about how to remove the pinstripe, do a search.

Nice Car !

[Hash_man_Se_i]

which intake are you using (what is it originally from)?

[JFreddy]

which intake are you using (what is it originally from)?

The intake is from a 90-93 Acura Integra. I read on here that with few modifcations they basically bolt right in, and plus I am kinda a sucker for the AEM name brand. Yeah... I have been working on this car for a while, it was easiest when I was 15 cas I didnt have to pay for insurance or gas and therefore alll my paycheques went into it.


Future Plans:
Smoke Taillights or Black them out? What do you guys think?

Clear Corners or black them out as well?
I have clear turn signals I'll try n get some pics at night up, I got some blue L.E.D. lights in my turn signals so at night time it looks like I got blue accent lights and when I turn they look purple/blue/white.

Paint Calipers n drums (choice of color would be blue), Should I or Should I leave them stock color?

Lower it and then I think that is it for looks enless I could master the art of making a nice looking lip for the front bumper, oh wait an one more question,

Fog Lights or no fog lights? (they are Blazer aftermarket fog lights the ones from canadian tire :sad2: They are a yellowish/bright white color they were also free..)

Looking good freddy.

[88accordhb]

sweet as car justin. now drop it some.

[danronian]

I'd do the calipers red and the drums black, thats what I have on my black accord now and it looks pretty good. I would smoke the signals if you do anything with them at all. IMO the stock signals are best but other than that I think smoked and then clear coated looks best.

[snoopyloopy]

nice. looks like what what i want to do to mine. especially since i have basically the same car. black '89 lx-i. that needs tint...lol.

[JFreddy]

Yeah, I love the all black look... I wanted black rims with a polished lip ... but for 500$ for those rims and rubber (17's) I thought it was a deal not to pass up. Plus they dont look that bad on the car. I got more pics comin though, I got that pinstripe off and it looks soooo good now!!!! Dropping it some in near near future lookin for lowering stuff for sale. Uhm as for the tails I think im making them just all red.. looks nicest and simplest. As for the front corners... I still am not sure... whether or not the blackout or clear corners will look better. Brakes I think I'm going to paint the front blue and back black... just cas my theme to my car is blue accents... not red.. but ya black drums are defenite. But I gotta get these night pics up soon, they look soo good, espeically in my opinion with my blue accent lights. If I do get clear corners on the front, what do i do with the tips of the headlights? cas clear to... that black/grey doesn't flow very well.. :sad2:

[Cheeseburger]

dam it looks realy nice. good job

[w00tw00t111]

So nice! Like they said just drop it but, might be a pain when you scratch the bottom. Oh well the tint and paint look great. I would smoke everything IMO

[AccordEpicenter]

very nice, i really like black like mine. You have the same gold pinstripe like i have too

Edit: how did you get your door panels black? I might wanna do that. Did you just spray paint them?

[bullard123]

Looks good man.

[snoopyloopy]

nice, man. looked at your cardomain and i like it even better. i especially like the push button start. how hard was that to install?

[frankie89]

nice wheels...overall 100% hotness and clean..

[JFreddy]

Hey, accordepicenter to get those panels black I just used vinyl paint from your local paint store... whether it be walmart, canadian tire or whatever. Then for the fabric I used fabric paint (yeah it's a little ghetto but it's just a temporary fix until I can find some time to put the black vynl fabric I got on it) Oh and the pinstripe is now off *thumbs up* I think it looks better without the stripe, I'll get some pics up with it off tomorrow.

Snoopyloopy, the push button starter was actually generally easy to install if you just follow the instructions on the How-To thread.

Smoking the lights it is! And I also found an easy way to do sleepy eyes without buying a resistor or anything at all, I think someone has probably already thought about it but all u do is take out the two fuses, then turn the little knob close to each light to the angle you want and Wallaaa! sleepy eyes! anyways I'll post more pics of the sleepy eyes and my car without the pinstripe tomorrow.

lovin the 3g man ... looks really similar to mine ... ex-i as well .. mine is black with some serious ass black tint ... shaved doors .. and shaved emblems ... 16" rims with rubbers .. im installin a new tranny in just a few days as well as upgrading the suspension to improve handlin as well as lower it a bit .. ill have pics as soon as that is done ... first steps though are 1) new tranny 2) prelude upper control arms to assist with new suspension ... 3) new suspension (shocks and struts)

-right now as we speak im in the midst of painting the rear drums either black or silver (prob black to blend in with car color) and the front calipers either black as well, or red

-curious to see what the sleepy eyes look like

anyone know how to go about smoking the rear tail lights .. i think i wanna make them all red first and then smoke them for the added effect .. anyone feel free to let me know if that is even possible ..

[frantik]

3geez look so much better with tint :D big up yaself

[BlueBead]

Nice work!!
I like seeing other guys putting lots of thought into their rides at the same time I'm working on mine.... especially canadians with sweet rides
keep it up man!

[bobafett]

it looks good, but you should put loweing the car on the top of your list as a prioirity!

[JFreddy]

Hey thanks for all the great feedback, and CHonda, I cant wait to see pics, i love black accords. and bobafett who were u talkin to about the lowering? if it was me what u think i should do next?

[CHonda]

yeah i was saying you should lower it as your next mod :) the car looks good, but it would definetly complete the look if you dropped it.

if your asking WHAT specifically you should do to lower it, i guess it depends on how much you are willing to spend.

if you dont want to spend much, get some 1.5 or 2" lowering springs and tokicko shocks, and call it good, but if you want to go all out then you can get some revalved bilstiens and some nice 2.5" sprint springs or something. or just get coilovers..

since all the other people in your pics have air/whatever, you could try that, like TK's accord :) it was seriously sick!

[JFreddy]

Coilovers are purchased and put on, dropped 3 inches. and in the future a couple of the guys n I are going to look into air cylinders for the accord, but if that came to be, i would have to find another ride cas air cylinders ride like shit. lol. BTW CHonda, I'm liking the black drum and red calipers, I think I'm going to make my calipers a blue and rear drums black. blue to match the other couple of interior and lights ect.

[FyreDaug]

You bought coilovers and got them on? What? Which ones did you use?

[JFreddy]

the coilover pics are on a different thread http://www.3geez.com/showthread.php?p=547198#post547198 right there.
