    Nice paint job man. It looks pretty shiny and everything. But, the front looks kind of naked. Are you doing or adding something to the front? besides that, nice job :super:

    yeah, i did all the body work myself and the paint job myself, the back is off a 90 accord, and the paint materials cost me about $400. I dont know what im going to do with the front, probably nothing.

    That looks really good. I am glad to see more people doing things other than adding wings and body kits.

    ryan, I must say, you've redeemed yourself. That's one good looking accord. Let's see more pics of it from all sorts of different angles.

    If I could've given one suggestion about the front end though, it would have been to shave that ridge on the top of the bumper that use to carry the line from the moldings (which are now gone). Other then that, I like it. What color is that called?

    Sweet Accord you got there, good job!

    I really like the shave moldings on the door, makes them more modern.

    Nice. Your car reminds me of this 3G Accord in town. It's shaved just like yours, but it's painted a different color. I color is aqua green and the sad thing about the car is that it's sitting in a tow yard and there's no one to claim it and when I went to go check it out, I was told that the cars in the yard aren't for sale. It's an 86-87 LX.

    hey, i have seen these before. anywho, IMO, i dont like any car with fully painted and that includes every single trim. Just makes it look just dull. Why go with the 4th gen tails?

    i went with the 92-93 tails because i wanted altezzas and i dont like the 89 ones, there too square. I like the ones i molded in, there more rounded and i think that they look pretty good being that there more rounded.

    I can't decide if I like the painted eyebrows or not (I painted my eyebrows too when I repainted my car). But the rest of the car looks so sweet!
