    yeah the front doesn't conform to where the corner lights are. reminds me of the famous blue 3g with the kit. it looks sweet from far but when you get close you notice that the kit doesn't flow with the boxiness of the ride.

    i'm not trying to dis you man. props for rolling with the kit but i think there' just something to be said for clean and relatively stock

    sorry but ive seen the 4th gen kits around here that make the lights look out of place. but by far that kit you have on there is the most hideous thing ive seen on a 3 g so far. the corner lights look like 2 fingers pointing at you. i really dislike. dont take it as a slam i just dont like the kit. to each is own right.
    ACT Stage 1, Short Ram Intake & 2.25 Dynomax custom catback w/4inch carbon fiber tip. Thats it for now.

    Putting the paint back on after

    hey Zwaag, so far you've taken a bit of a verbal beating in this thread, and you continue to move on with this project. I have to aplaud you for that. "My hat's off you ya' buddy!"

    Personally, not my cup of tea, but it does look good. I don't think it's too wide. It's big and a little exagerated.. ...but that's the point in a full body kit right...? All in all, I like it, and am anxiously waiting to see the finished product. Good luck man!

    When I get ready to buy my car kit, its gonna be between that one and the xenon. I still haven't decide. Every time I think of the 4th gen kit, I picture MrGadget's blue accord, thats my dream! but on the other hand, I really like the xenon. Decisions, decisions.........

    I can give you credit for actually making it fit, but it still..doesnt fit. The corner lights need to be shaved off or the fenders need to be cut down, its just a HORRIBLE fit. The kit is to square for the car to begin with. And I wouldnt worry about mounting the rear section of it yet because I can see rust underneath the taillight section. They will need to sand that down when painting it. I just cant bring myself to like it, its just, to much for the car.....it will get more laughs then looks (or looks then laughs) to be honest with you.

    yea i respect your effort, but it hasnt even begun to take shape in a positive fashion. It looks terrible at this point, sorry. doesnt contour to the cars lines, and overall it looks like you are working with a subpar condition car to begin with. You should have addressed the little things before attempting such a project. best of luck youll need it...

    the only thing wrong with my car is the rust. And there's only two or three little spots. Besides, The who is puting on the kit is fixing the rust at the same time, so its not a problem

    yea, iam not tying to slam you either, but the kit doesn't go with the car. I agree that the boxiness makes the kit not work

    The kit looks good man. But there are just some kits that need to stay with the 4th gee accords, and that kit is one of the ones that needs to stay with the 4th gee. you could have gone with the xenon kit it looks rather nice. That is the kit that i am getting. The corner lights are too high they do not match up with the bumper. But i will give you credit for you effort and the money you have put into this. Guys even if you hate it we still need to give him a pat on the back for trying.

    Good Job Zwaag
    If it is broken then fix it. IF NOT LEAVE IT THE HELL ALONE
