[Grant2k]

that looks good man. i wouldn't do it, but i do like how it looks. i'd like to see some more pictures of your car.

[socal3rdgen]

some one else is going to have to host the other 3 cuz i will be deleting pics off of my server to get more space in about a week.

[ryansaccord]

how did you get into it to get it?

[pearldrop]

Where in Oregon are you? The car looks good. I don't understand why you went with 90 taillights though. I would have just shaved them completely or left the stocks. Then it would have been straight lines down the trunk instead of a zig zag.
Are you in the minitruck scene down there?

[socal3rdgen]

someone click this and see if it works.

[Mantis88LX]

sweet!

[ryansaccord]

yeah it works, thanks, but im not in the mini truckin scene. Im in dayton oregon. i am going to put altezzas on it. thats why i have 90 tail lights

[ryansaccord]

i have shaved doors and shaved anteanna and squirters also, and i am doing the intereior all tweed. tan and cardinal. almost done with that

[Neuspeed87lx]

that does look pretty good man ...i was wondering at first why you would put the stock 4g tails on when they dont look that different than the stock 3g tails...but then you said you were gona put altazza's on and now it makes sence...looks like you put a lot of work into it and i give you credit..the only thing i dont really like is the wheels ...there not my taste...but its kinda hard to see them ....in all ...great lookin 3g man !

[ryansaccord]

if you go up a couple of replys you can see the rest of my pics, its the one that says someone click this and see if it works. Theres three more pics. ill get better pics soon.

[whiteboy]

I bet that truck weighs 200 lbs from all of that body filler.

Nate.

[pearldrop]

Yeah, it must be waaay heavier than Playstations and tv monitors.:stick:

[Grant2k]

i would hope there was welding, or at least fiberglass invovled, but i guess there are people who would do all that with filler. jesus.

[ryansaccord]

yes, i did do A LOT of welding. It took me so long. But the doors where the trim use to be i welded that almost perfectly smooth, and the trunk i took that plastic piece out and welded a piece of metal in there. Theres not that much filler in it. It would have been pretty hard to do with just filler, and it does weigh a little more. Im going to paint it patriot red pearl. It is a 2002 mitsubishi color.

[ryansaccord]

oh yeah, it is lowered. They are sprint springs modidifed a bit. I cut a coil off each one becuase it wasnt low enough. Im looking at putting cylinders all around.

[sanjay]

nice car ryan

[flamed89]

:super: man i think you just changed my mind about the 90 tails! they look sweet in there like that! thats alot of work and i have to give you props on doing a nice job :bow:

[3rd GEN]

damn.. looks good...

is it just me, or are those tails from a 4th gen accord??

that would be the point of the thread.

[Neuspeed007]

:omg: Damn i love the trunk! how do u do that? The car looks badass:badass:

[hondaaccord_86]

what color is the 3gee???

[PortugalHonda]

yeah man i gotta give you props, very nicely shaved

[HondaBoy]

looks great. maybe u should think about getting some euro tails to put in there. u must post more pix for us to enjoy.

[ryansaccord]

im putting altezzas in after i paint it. Then am going to finish the intereior. I want to take it to shows

[PortugalHonda]

i dunno bout altezzas. I think they are really played out. If u do go for the carbon ones, you know the ones with the black housing... or red and white ( i prefer those actually)... but it looks sweet for now man....

[Auzreal189]

what did you do to shave the trunk?

[SQ is the SQUAD]

keep up the good work

[iiviasterp]

that looks awsome man! but instead of altezzas you should go with half red half clear.... cause im with PortugalHonda that altezzas are WAY played out.... but your choice... anyway you do it, its different and looks sweet...keep up the good work

[smufguy]

Basically, i admire the work u put in, but its not my taste and it does not really matter.

I love the 4g lights, but i really wish u got the other two and or made the 4g trunk somehow fit in our 3g. I hate shaved trunks and u knwo what, ur rear licence plate needs a better place. cant be on the side.


here is my opinion in general about cars with aftermarket stuff

- I hate altezzas
- I hate shaved or filled or ass looking trunks with a plain down no shit on it. What is it supposed to do? stand out in a crowd and be moked at?
- Big air dams in the front but u got no intercoller or intercooler mimick
- big ass wings that do not flow wit the car

[ryansaccord]

yeah, i was thinking about the half red half clear. I like them on the civics. I am painting it this weekend. I have it parked in the shop all taped off and ready to go. I will post more pics after its painted.

[86AccordLxi]

alex

[dXsquared]

Travis

[whiteboy]

yea man again, good job, ya shoulda frenched the plate into the trunk cuz no ur stuck on that one.....good luck wit the paint, and i wish people would read these threads b4 asking what color or what lights. . .. . gets kind annoying reading the same questiong 5 times. :-(
