i have never seen the hood light on my car...first time i see it...did it come in the 88 honda accord dx sedan ?Originally Posted by maxsideburn
Ok some more stuff I finally got done to the car after wrestling with that EGR problem for a while.
I was tired of the stupid PGM-FI light and the Brake light being red, too much freakin' red all the time, made me think the car was about to blow up. So I re-colored them while I had the gauges apart by simply switching around the little plastic color screens. The PGM-FI is now orange, and the Brake indicator is now green. Much more soothing if you ask me. BTW, aren't most car's CEL orange anyway?? lol

Dude, your check engine light is on
me too I think I might do thati like what you did with the gauges, keep up the good work
actually i have never seen the hood light either. i wonder how we can make it work. i kinda like that. since i have a cf hood, sometimes it doesnt latch properly.
ok, then we must figure this out. Hehe, I want my "hood" indicator to work.

I like dem sidemarkers!
But he's right about rust, watch out for that.
already primed up, don't worry
So who's willing to figure out how the hood light works? lol. If we could find a way to make the indicator work, then theoretically we could run an actual light, for working on the car in the dark, off of the same circuit.

You just need to find the switch. :P
Just thought I'd share some pictures I took today while working on the car.
My cheap wal-mart MP3 CD player, it sounds great though.
My little "travelling buddha" that sits on my dash.
My "crap-brown topped with biege" interior.
This is a nice pic showing my shift knob and "shortened" shifter. It also shows my parking brake button being held in place by my little "cotter pin" that holds it in place so that when I'm e-brake sliding I don't end up on a curb. There's also a military style toggle switch, it activates my.....well it doesn't actually activate anything yet, and probably never will, but it covers the hole where the stupid electric antenna button was.

Here's some stuff I was messing with in Photoshop.
I kinda like it better without the sign, but oh well, figured I'd try it both ways.

Couple of new pics, I just got some Prelude seats today, shown next to an old Accord seat. (tan because I have the tan and burgundy interior and the only other color they had was blue). I also got a new hood to replace the crappy dented one I had before. This one isn't perfect either, but a little dab of body filler here and there will even it out nicely. Oh yeah, and I also got a sunroof wind deflector finally

yeah i also got some Prelude seats. i washed them but i did not do a good job and you can still see dirt in them...so i might get a real steam cleaner since im going to paint them black....the guy gave them to me for free(hehe) well i still got to fix my hood and trunk...how much did you pay for the parts?

$140 for the seats and hood......of course I also snuck out a few parts like a new 88-89 passenger side turn signal, shifter console, sunroof wind deflector and 4g MAP sensor. Not that they care, I buy shit from them all of the time, I don't imagine too many other people are actually buying 3G Accord stuff, lol.
Tomorrow I'm going for a passenger side tan sun visor, new EFI intake manifold w/EGR valve, and a few other odds and ends. The only problem I'm having it that I'm pretty much out of things to get from the junkyard. Here's what I've gotten from them so far:
Door mounted map pockets (both sides)
shifter console (went from casette holder to basic)
driver side doorlock bezel
several mud guards
hood
prelude seats
4g map sensor
dash clock bezel
4G "special edition" front chin spoiler
headlight "trim" (both sides)
88-89 turn signals
and tons of odds and ends like plastic screw covers, minor trim pieces, etc...
I'd say my car is almost "perfect" as far as what a junkyard can do to make it look better. Just about every part on the car at least looks like what you'd expect a 20 year old car to look like if it was kept in good condition. (i.e. old-person-garage-kept).
I'd say if I do some very minor body work, get a paint job, and put some new wheels on it it will look very nice.

Ehm... Who the hell coded their post like that? and how?
Nice to see your car back on track, maxie
i noticed in your gauge pics u have the white faced ones n the back ground, r those goin in next. o btw how did u do the silver ring, does it come off or sumthing
Be nice to your Honda. If you or anyone you know harms or hurts a honda dial 1-800-hondabuse.
coded their post??
As for my gauges, I was originally going to do the white faced gauges, but I changed my mind in favor of something more classic. And as for the silver ring just look at the pictures really closely. What I did was take my cluster completely apart, then I took each gauge and painted the little "lip", not the gauge itself, but the little lip that kinda goes behind the gauge trim silver with silver model paint. The effect is that I now have a silver "ring" around each gauge. I'm quite satisfied with it, especially being the first one to do it

Yea, that post of yours was all messed up... text overlapping the pictures and stuck into the next post and shit, I wasn't sure if it was your post or someone else's. But it seems fine now.
Not as fine as your new hood, though. Where'd you get that piece of sex?
check this out.

The new hood came from the local pick-n-pull today. $140 for seats, hood, and lots of extras doesn't seem bad to me

Edit: Nevermind, I looked at your post a little more carefully
What color are you going to paint it?
