    Front tophats

    Hey guys, first post, im trying to find the front strut tophats for a 3rd gen accord ive recently aquired, looking to to the tophat extension mod Ive seen here that uses carriage bolts and the second tophat. Ive searched the internet for them but cant seem to find them, do other honda tophats fit or is there a site where I can find them? Thank you in advance!

    Not sure if Chedda still makes them for our cars any more or not.

    The carriage bolts deal is a home made deal I think the poster was Legend Master.

    Hey man, thank you! The cheddad might be the way to go. Im actually looking for stock ones, they seem to be impossible to find.

    Don't order the cheddas top hats unless you can afford to wait. You can always buy aftermarket civic tophats off ebay and get a machine shop to make it fit in the car. I got some but never installed them because my stocks work fine lowered, the center needed lathed down and they needed new holes for studs since the accord has 3.
