    Well the car seems to be clean for the most part. Can't complain, job well done.

    That's got to be the cleanest living DX I've ever seen.

    Wow, that's absolutely amazing-that car does not look like it's 20 years old!

    yeah, those seat covers are just temporary until i get some financial aid money in. I had some tan sheepskin that matched before it went to black. My girl had these and i just gave her mine and took hers for the time being. I hate how all the damn fuzz sticks to my back all the time.

    Definitely. My friend has an MX6 and the grill/lip/lights look almost identical. I swear I would have thought it was an MX6 at first if he hadn't said it was an Accord.

    yeah, i removed the shield to paint it. It was pretty easy, just 3 12mm bolts. The paint was high temp engine enamel i got at advance for like 4 bucks. And thanks for the comment about the fogs, i didnt want them exposed like most are.

    I like the body color with the tint and grey wheels alot, mainly b/c mine is the same but with lighter tint, a 3g, soon to be painted wheels, and beat paint on the hood and roof. I would clean up the interior more though, it doesnt look that clean in those pix.

    Yeah, the pics dont do the interior justice, its just dark in there, and when i took the pics of the black seat covers it was kinda dirty, i had just gotten the camera and was excited just to be able to take pics, but now its clean, ill try and get a better pic of the int soon.

    Thinking about getting a new 3g...

    Nice accord, we all start out at the low end of the ladder sometime, guessDXHATCHBACK cant say that for him self since he started off with a more expensive ride OH WAIT, i think he just has some jealousy for not having the chance of owning a 4g

    1)sub not broken, my friend just put duct tape on it because hes weird and i never felt like taking it off, the amp was free.
    2)Yeah, its because its removable, since my car has been broken into before.
    3)yeah, they keep the ugly tan stock ones out of sight and away from stains, i havea 3 yr old.
    4)Intake-and besides, it has 218,000 miles on it, its not like im gonna go turbo anytime soon
    5)Dont have the money yet, im in college.
    6)And its ghetto because? I didnt feel like using bondo like everyone else does.
    7)Glass packs sound like angry bees? I guess you've never heard one
    8)Lots of people do this on the 4th gen check out cb7tuner.com

    and that one good point you mentioned, thats really two.

    Its fine that you dont like it, its not for everyone and im not trying to make a show car or a fast car, i just want it all blacked out and not very noticable. So good day, good sir, and btw gang of four rules.
