Hey All! Im new to the community, so I thought I'd show you all my car. Its an 87 Honda Accord Lxi. Its in really nice condition, with the exception of a few cosmetic blemishes from when my sister wrecked it. The story behind the car is that my sister bought it for $2000, sucked at driving a stick, and got the front end ripped off 2 weeks later. She decided she no longer wanted the car, and I loved the car, so she sold it to me for $1000. The next day i went over to my local pick'n' pull and got all the parts to repair the front end for under $250, and a buddy and I put it all on that evening. The first pic of the car are after the accident, and before i bought it. I plan to have an exhaust system installed, new wheels and tires eventually, have the windows tinted, and have the car painted black.

Catalyst
01-06-2007, 02:23 PM
Stock Ones. Do you mean what kind as in USDM, euro, or JDM? Im pretty sure they are usdm, but i could be wrong, im a noob at this stuff.

stellies never looked better on a white car. wut are your plans with the car?

Catalyst

I plan to:
-Tint My Windows
-Buy some 17" Rims, Im looking at white Kazera 5 spokes.
-Exhaust (Probably a single chamber flowmaster)
-Buy New Front and Rear Bumper Covers and paint them Gloss Black.
-Possible a K&N Cold Air Intake

... Eventually when my budget allows me to, Id like to paint the whole thing a nice, glossy black, including the Bumper Covers, all the trim, the eyebrows, and the grille.

Thats about all the plans I have for the car right now. It runs really strong, and its been babied all its life, it used to be driven to town and back by and old man, and kept in a garage until he died. Its got an easy driven 145k on the engine, and has been serviced by the dealership regularly. Shes still got all her pep, thats for sure.
