    Thanks guys!

    There's still alot to be done to the car to make the way I want. The car looks the way I want for the most part but there's always something you can add to make it better.

    If it wasn't for the 3geez community I joined 4 years ago (it's been 4 years already) my car wouldn't be like this for sure!

    There's a but of everyone's touch in there!

    congrats!!
    They say that "guns don't kill people, people kill people." Well I think the gun helps. If you just stood there and yelled "BANG", I dont think you'd kill too many people

    Hey man. Well done. It's about time, you deserved this a while back man. Your car is so cleanly cut looking, and quite the powerhouse as well. If we had to pick the top 5 3geez to represent 3geez.com to the world, you'd be one of them. Job well done, and congrats as well.

    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!

    Congratulations Carotman. Yours is one of most beautiful tuned 3G Accord I have ever seen. I love the way your car looks - outside is very clean, relatively discreet, if I don't know the car well I wouldn't notice the mod but very well balanced. And underneath there is a full spec full tuned twin cam. Oh, it is true beuty. I feel I have good a day today.
