    It's alive

    Well my ffrankenstien bumper mod is complete.

    I put my accord bumper on my 95 corolla.

    The corolla bumper is about 1" longer on the sides going towards the wheel well, so it doesn't quite line up in the back... but the front lengthwise is perfect... it has some holes where the curve of the corolla lights doesn't cover the bumper.

    There is enough room to put the flip ups and corner lights ffrom the accord onto the corolla... I can make an 80's style corolla with 80's accord parts.

    My accord is about to get towed so I'm removing everything I can before it does, to transfer to a new accord.

    i'll have pics up as soon as I can ffind some good batteries.


    I wonder if I should try the fenders... and hood... It may take a lot of bending though.

    Re: It's alive

    Yup, it may lead to toyota body kits going onto the accord. but it will still have the same issue to deal with that the 4th gen accord bumper has, which is the curve of the bumper, but it shouldn't be hard to mold that bit.

    I updated the pics

    The gap is there because I made a temporary piece to bolt the bumper to the fender... I may drill a hole in the fender then the gap will be gone.

    The turn signal lights from the corolla twist into the accord signals perfectly.

    Well I had to drill some holes in the bumper to the left and to the right of what was already there... but it was still pretty close.

    I love those gaps from the top-down view.
    That looks hideous, man.

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM

    I'm actually considering it.

    I took the fuse box in the engine bay but is there anything else I should gab to make sure the motors for the headlights work, like the other fuse box, or some obscure relay somewhere or maybe the light switch in the dash or the combo switch on the collumn?
