I plan on shaving my tail light part in the middle where the license plate goes. Which will leave me with the problem of where to put my license plate. I saw a 88,89,90 ?? Prelude with the license plate notch in the bumper. Will that back bumper fit on my 3g? :super:

thats what i wanna do too. i think that the prelude bumper will fit with some modding, but when you shave it, just angle your license plate in the middle some where to look custom, that would be phat.

I wouldnt know how to make the space exactly rectangle. So i'll probably end up just mounting a bracket down by the back bumper lip for my plate.

what does it mean to "shave" your emblems???

and remember....

:stupid:

just means taking them off, and if there are holes behind them, then having the holes filled and smoothed out, so it looks like there was nothing ever there. Some of the emblems are just stuck on, so nothing needs to be filled.

this is what you should do, shave your inside lights and fiberglass the licence plate area and do this to your back bumper... compliment to digitized on this one!

look closely at the back bumper and you will cream your pants! ^_^ I think he even installed license plate lights there too!

ooooooooo, thats nice. I think that's the only 3rd gen. that I've seen with the licence plate relocated down there. If there are lights down there too.........thats some sweet work. :eek:

it's not even all that difficult to accomplish...tap the wires for your parking lights....get a bumper cover from a car that had the plate down there...get the center part is the hardest to find whats that from anyways??

I like the look of teh plastic "light all teh way accross...be really nice if you could get it all to light up at night or something...

that red one withthe camber probs looks like shait it'as a different color from teh rest of teh car...nasty

The paint is all one color on that red one. What you are seeing is the gold pearl that is laid over it.
It doesn't have camber problems either is has airbags and happens to be dropped at the moment. Once he raises it back up there isn't a problem.

good man pearl, good man... I like that ride with the bags... kinda pimped for me though... he's probably plushed teh whole interior...

as for digitized old vigor accord... that thing is trashed when he sold it... and i haven't seen digitized on this new board, we miss you man!!!

Digi, if you see this post, I"M DOING THAT CONVERSION, KINDA... clears, then i'm molding out the license plate and relocating with lights to the bottom bumper exactly the way yours is done!!! MY INSPIRATION.... also a crx lip and transport sideskirts... then my car will be complete!!!

Actually you can see the interior is tweed through the back window. No lowrider style for that guy - he is strictly Minitruck style.

I know that the 85 ludes have the plate like that, it's just that I think it would be less work to buy a lude bumper and make it fit the accord than to try to make a custom spot for it.
