Yeah I Know. It's sad. :[

I will try and have pics of the poor 3g later on, but she got smashed in the front when someone backed into me in a parking lot. :[

Radiator is sorta cracked, headlights are slow coming up and going down, hood is bent, and front bumper was cracked in half. I might, in the months to come, repair her.

But I jumped into a 94 Accord EX that's almost the same color, and has already been fitted with clear tails and headlights/turnsignals and corners. It's also a 4 door manual, and has a sunroof, those HID lights, and a kickass sound system.

Pics from the day I got it, Ive had her for almost a week.

But rest assured, I still own the 88 Accord, and I will still check in on you guys, even though I'm onto a 5th gen VTEC accord :)

Forgot to mention, the 3gee Accord will be getting the rims off of the 94 EX, the EX is going to be sporting the civic rims.

the new accord looks good! im not a big fan of that shifter though
oh and those ex/si rims wont fit on the accord becasue the bolt pattern on the 5g accord is 4X114 an the bolt pattern on the civic rims are 4X100

Thanks for telling me that before I attempted it, hahaha.

Yeah, that shifter is a no no. I hate that thing. I wanted to get the original shifter back on there, but the dumbass that had it before rigged it up, so I have to have time to go back and fix it. Stupid dude.

you'll notice the stock shifter will be lower too, so it will look better. most universal shifters look bad

I was thinking about smoking them out, or going back to the stock tails. The Chrome is a little much, but I figured why throw out a good deal on a newer accord that was exactly what I wanted, because of ugly tails. They are easy replacements. :D

hahaha, why thank you :P

I need to go ahead and order some new tails, im still deciding on rims so, the rims on there are really nasty looking too, the tint comes off monday (hopefully) for retinting, because the windows are purple tinted right now, and its crappy and coming off. I need to get to work getting the stock shifter back on, because the other one is crap, it even spins freely when I shift gears! HAHAHA.

:werd: yeah I bought an APC one not long ago, and when I shifted to 2nd my elbow went deep into the driver seat's side bolster. Returned it a day later. And that fifth gen is bitchin :rockon: but like as everyone said, ditch the tails.
