    Retro Accord

    After seeing the new trend in america with the retro car (mustang, charger, camaro, ETC) I wondered what it would be like if hodna decided to go thsi path. So I PS an 05 accord and made a Retro Hatch. THis is a work in progress and I could not figure anything for the headlight covers . Let me know if you guys have any ideas.

    I never would have realized how much I like the pop-up lights! Good work!

    Ok last one for the night, This car is starting to grow on me. I want to send a picture to Mr. Honda himself. I tried putting side molding, but it looked incredibly stupid so I went with rims.
