don't know anything about a skid plate. As far as the blaster it's just a $32 autozone universal thing.

There is usually a plastic piece that goes under the front of your engine compartment, I ask because in the pics where you show your CAI, I can see a lot of daylight down there. May not be a bad thing though, means more cold air for your intake possibly. I might take mine off.

Off road trucks have skid plates all we got is a lil splash guard.A skid plate would be nice though, especially on a lowered car.Originally Posted by Beaver

Just wanted to show you guys what all I did to fix up my 3G with $20 worth of parts from the salvage yard.
First off the door panels, especially the driver's side door panel. It was missing the bezel around the lock and the map pocket was broken to hell.
Just because it was there I grabbed the little rubber pedal cover for the clutch pedal, I was tired of my foot slipping off of it in rainy weather.
I got really tired of looking at that funky hole in my dash around my clock, so I made sure to grab a clock bezel too
Next I finally got to get rid of that enormous and useless "casette holder" thing in the center console. I would say that this is probably actually a "downgrade" technically, since it came from a base model, but to me it looks better and doesn't take up space with something that is useless.
Finally I got a pair of the little trim pieces that go on top of the headlight buckets. I got tired of having holes right there. Well these aren't in perfect shape, but they do look a lot better.
Well that's basically what I got done for $20. Also I removed the big wing the other day, lol. Also I'm going to try to get you guys a shot of my shift knob at night, I'm usually not into "glow" stuff, but this one lights up through the mesh and looks schweet.

I know, I hate it too, eventually I will just be doing the red colors black and leaving the beige "fuzzy" pillars and cloth headliner.

Your car looked like it got it's ass kicked by a mustang. Paint that headlight cover to match just looks funny
If you have a supra why the hell would you want to mess with a slow accord? I like my accord but speed is one thing it won't ever have compared to my prelude or newer cars. I wish I would have figured that out before I spent all the money I did on it. I'm still going to fix it up and repaint it but that will probably be the last major thing that I do to it.

Actually I sold the Supra, and the Fiero. I now have a '77 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am with a 6.6L (400CI) V8.

Installed a 4G spoiler with the LED brake lights, but some of the LEDs are burnt outOh well it looks better than the big silly wing. Also I installed some hood pins until I get a new hood that closes better.

Just a couple of closer pics.

you should lose the spoiler

the 4g spoiler?? It's better than the wing eh? Actually I like it quite a bit.

I like the spoiler. Just need to bring it back a little bit.
Sometimes faster, more powerful cars aren't as fun to drive as lighter smaller cars with less power.
That's right. A lot of times it's not the shear power of a car, but how it feels to drive. The way the Honda feels on the road makes up for any power it doesn't have.
Anyway I tried the home depot lip trick today. I'd say it came out ok, but I'm going to use the other piece I have left over in a few days to give it another try, I think I can make it look even better with a heat gun to help mold it into place.

Muhahaha, when I first changed my thermostat my car was running really oddly, the idle would jump up then down and kept on doing that. Well I unplugged my battery for a few minutes to let my ECU reset, and then I took the Accord for a spin. Well I definately noticed a difference this time. Wow! I haven't reset the ECU since I added the CAI and the MSD coil. Leaving my driveway I don't think I had traction until halfway through 2nd gear, lol.
Anyway I put some orange bulbs in my indicator lights. I figured that the whole "clear lens with blue bulb" thing has finally ran its course, so I've decided to do something different. I'm going with orange indicator and turn lights, and then I'm going to put in some yellow weathervision bulbs. Also if you'll notice I have some white washer LEDs hooked up to my turn signals.
Also you might notice that I painted my grill and headlight trim black today. I think it looks much more aggressive with the darker colors, at least that's my opinion.

You know what I think would look cool? USing those orange bulbs but wiring them the other way, so they were really bright MOST of the time, then blinked 'dim' for turn signals. I wonder if that'd be hard to do?
not really. you could just swap the indicator and turn signal fittings.

Here you go guys. Just a little update. I painted the top half of the dash black today, because I just got sick of that horrid burgundy/poo brown. I had an 89 LXi Coupe that had the dash like this, but of course the other color was tan.
And here's a picture from the backseat. If you look closely where the arrow is pointing there is something out of place. Anyone care to guess what it is and why it's there?
And I will be putting some gauges of my own design in soon (using Paul's wonderful templates, of course).

You painted the console too? I dunno man. I dislike painted interiors. Yours looks good right now, but let's see how it looks in a year.
That dash is awefull shiny.... that would suck during the day.
I think that thing is a J and it was there because you were smoking it.

Hmm Im not a big fan of painted dashes either
ah, but it's not "paint" per se, it's vinyl die. I did it on my Prelude and it looked great for a long time, also really hard to chip or peel
