Nice work with the fenders! Were they custom made or did you use a fender piece from another car? Making a custom bumper?

[L3G10N]

they are custom made. For the front and rear bumper, i am using a budy club(rear) modded and a SF1(front) modded too to respect the shape of the car. Both bumper came for 90-93 accord.

What happened to the doors? In the primered pics they look nice and flush to the door. But in the final pics, they are indented (not flat and even with the rest of the door). Was this a planned decision, or did you use bondo/fiberglass and it "sunk" in.
I thought from the earlier pictures that you welded in metal strips.
Peace.

what u smoking.... 2 different car were talking about!

yeah i already have a B20A with manual transmission. He will be runned with dual SK Racing Carb 40mm tuned by TWN Induction. And i'll buy another spare B20A in a few weeks. We have a lot of them here.

Again, a little project update! This time, Front and Rear bumper!
The rear one is almost done. What's left to do is to cut the kind of tooth cause i hate this. After this, it will only need some minor touch up. The bumped needed a lot of work. As Hondaman87 told in his post, the bumper is 4" too long on the side. It come from a 4th gen Accord. But well, the rear one is almost done!





Now about the front one. He's on the car only to see what's needed to modify. He's not yet started! As you can see, he have a yellow tape. The part behind this tape need to be cut to give the car a great shape to the wing and let the 18" get in there easily. The front bumper is SOOOOOO round compared with the OEM one. So, it will be impossible to get the bumper "square" as the OEM. The corner light get almost over the bumper.... So, we will work to modify the bumper to get a bigger corner without destroying the general look of the bumper. Where you can see the horn, will be filled with a fog light. Can't be better than Hondaman87 did! (props to him as always!!!) There's A LOT of work to fit this 90-93 accord bumper there and keeping a great look. AS IS right now, the headlight can't close. The bumper get under the light too far.... Hondaman87, what did you do?!?!??! What have you changed to get this awesome look?!?!




Look at this POOR car.... We can almost say tha she is smiling saying:"WOohoo!!! I got some bumper!!!" lololol

[L3G10N]

General look! As i told you, it absolutly not finished! But you can get a great general idea of the project!

[Deadhead]

WOW.... sexy.

I can't wait for the finished project, great job so far!

[Bglad420]

oooooohhhh jesus whats next...........

[L3G10N]

oooooohhhh jesus whats next...........

what's wrong?

[Bglad420]

Oh nothing just that your molesting that hatch in ways not ment to be is all..... But hey props for the work and effort your putting into it, being a fabber I know what it takes, I just dont get why people put big bulking, non matching body kits on their cars with 50 million air vents in them. You know with all those holes you just ruined and aerodynamics of the car, your forcing air into a brick wall..........But if you like it thats what matters. So again props for the work and effort. And good luck with your project.

as i can see, you have just post without any reading.

the front bumper was supposed to be modded to respect the OEM look(square curves) but since to do that, it will cost me 2000$cdn, i just decided to mods the front bumper to get the better look i can get. As i wrote, AGAIN, and you don't even read, the bumper is on the car JUST TO SEE WHAT need to be changed on. And yet AGAIN, the hole of the bumper will be filled with a fog light. The only hole who won't be filled with anything except grill is the center. But.... wait, the OEM bumper have the same hole at the same place. Well, yeah, i am forcing air into a brick wall... just as Honda did it 20 years ago.



Read the text dude. Don't reply after looking pics. Text can explain lots of stuff. And you are talking against newb on other post.... You read just as 'em

Anyway, the topic is not about you, it's about the car itself and i know that this kind of mods is not for everyone. And I am really happy of this! in other ways... the world would be sooooooo boring.

[Bglad420]

No I'm not down talking your car, "to each there own" as been said manytimes before on this forum. I give you props for your work, and effort, and I hope it turns out well for you. Its just not my kind of cake.....And I did read the rest and from what I see well a picture is worth a thousand words....I saw your rear bumper and your side skirts I know where your going with it.........I cant post and say it looks good if I think it doesn't I was being nice and keeping to myself with the rice comments, and I still will so again I will comliment you on your hard work. Oh and BTW Honda had a team of 30 engineers designing the Accord, all vents are directed to the RADIATOR only, and as for the other two, they are either blocked, or fogs are installed. And if your using that bumper to see what it looks like, and I see it as a finished product on the car........bahhhh. Cant bullshit me, I see the 3m green masking tape on the wheel well where your going to cut it............

[L3G10N]

no need to say more. already all explained

[gfrg88]

nice work dude!!! thats looking good, cant wait to see it finished

[Acid X]

Wow. Looks great. The rear bumper is pretty big though... But i love how you made wider wheel flares.

Too bad that you can't shape the front bumper to the square-ish look of the car, though... Oh well, it should look better than most considering the side marker lights don't stick out over the front bumper because it's too round like some re-fitted body kits.

[SQ is the SQUAD]

engine pics plze

[gfrg88]

oh yeah any engine mods??? get some pics on that too....

[carotman]

The car is supposed to receive a Webber powered B20A. I guess I'll have the task to put it in . I hope everything turns out well. There is sure alot of work in the body tough I can't say I agree with everything that's been done to it.

carotman! For sure, i'll ask your help but i won't let you have the task for yourself

I am really unsure about the front bumper. Look really good on hondaman87 car but...... The first idea was the best i think. Anyway, too late

SQ and GFRG: as carot says, The car will have a B20A with dual weber. The car is completly stripped. Nothing inside the car and nothing inside the hood for now.

And i am still waiting for my Carbon Hood from ClassicAccord who look to have disapear completly after getting my money.....

[Cheeseburger]

nice job dude cant wait to see it done...

im loving that front bumper, would be cool if it was squarish, but that doesn't matter, its still hott. i like them side skirts too , not overboard,
but why is it from certain views the front bumper looks like its on perfectly and other views it looks liike its half of the car?!?!?

[L3G10N]

the bumper's not started yet. It's still as i received it without any custom. He's not even bolted on the car. So, he was free to move when i was taking pictures. Maybe it's just this. You'll get your answers in the next photo i'll take.
