Well, Its been a little while since I have posted the updates. Nothing much has changed except I have waxed the crap out of it went ahead and got it spiffed up nice. As you will notice, I have to take the plastics off or tape down and paint them with this paint my boss told me about and he showed it to me on his beater truck and it really does a nice job. I also found a set of guages and the carbon fiber dash piece and custom chrome rings to go around each little thing, Ill post pics when it comes in so you can see what im talking about. Also get a get look now because it is going in in 2 weeks to get 3 minor rust spots fixed and its going through the sprayer! Im still wondering if I want a body kit or not because I would need to go ahead and order it so I can have it sprayed pearly white like the rest of the car.

Mini Images, Here are a few enlarged so you can see how well the paint really is. Every is telling me to ignore the 3 spots because you cant see them, but I need to get front bottom grill resprayed, its peeling away.

Yes that is a glare on the hood! I detail cars for extra cash, I went ahead and high speed buffed and did some light water sanding and alot of carnuba wax and buffing but it really wasnt bad from the get go. I also am making the two lower orange lights up front clear, and the back brake lights. The inside is currently blue, I am ripping everything out and laying new black carpet and having the front seats recovered with block and grey leather for cheap since paps knows some people. I made a custom box last week I just gotta carpet it, ready for 2 JL W7's, thats 900.00 just in speakers and I have 2 amps. The only issue I have is that Honda's are known for frieing alternators when amps are used. My dads buddy already put one in for me, but this time he said he put a higher something thats suppose to prevent it from frying, but that was free anyway :). I will keep everyone posted, as some known I am trying to also do a 5 speed swapt.
Another quick note, if anyone is interested in an 1989 4 door accord 5spd with 102K Miles for 1200.00 let me know. Friend is selling his, Ill try to get pics. Its in great shape, needs a clutch soon.
Comments/Suggestions appreciated.
