    Re: Mad JDM dash yo!

    [QUOTE=Hazwan;908824]Yeah I've got a frame for the plate.

    You're looking for the EDM style plate lights. Maybe look for any older cars with bumper mounted lights and mount them on top? I should have shaved them off and put some LEDs under the trunk lid.

    BTW you should get new plates. They look old and doesn't go well with the car. When I replaced mine (which is the original since new - faded black part and stained white numbers.. looking like shit!) they improved the look a lot!
    QUOTE]

    that bad huh?? yes it is the original plate. the numbering on mine isnt white but is actually silver paint. i thought it went well with the colour of the car. the front plate has been replaced. actually it has been replaced twice in this past year alone. only the rear is the original stuff. sadly the annoying body shop guy over tightened the number plate causing it to crack. that annoys me. what type plate should i get? my older accord had polished aluminium numbering but no frame.

    also, some one told me that the license plate light looked too oversized on my car. as though it was an after thought. edm ones looked more slick i thought. ive seen a few 1geez with the illuminators projected from the bumper. looked nice as well. but i guess, il stick to the original stuff as a wise man told me the number plate needs work. knowing me and the fact that i might replace both, front and rear....i might have to save up. also the same wise man put a 2gee centre console in his car and it made me think as well...hehe....so i guess i might have to shelf the smaller projects...

    yes, the jdm accords have the flat type as well. in fact even the USDM ones lasted pretty well against the rain and shine.... the taiwan stuff would last a few months. perhaps one day at the breakers yard i might get lucky and stumble upon a couple of near mint fender indicators. i really want to keep my accord stock but i too regret not shaving the fender indicators. its a real pain....

    Re: Mad JDM dash yo!

    Nothing much done lately. Waiting for the seats, it should be ready by this Saturday. Went to look at it yesterday and the guy is doing nice job with the front seats. Can't wait!

    Anyway, I've sanded+buffed the quarter panel and rear door. They match perfectly!




    Heres how the door panel looks like, minus the beige armrest, which I'll take care of it as soon as I can get the vinyl spray. Did I mention how the closest store carries them are like 300kms away? And sorry for the crappy pics.



    Little switch for the power locks


    And mad tyte JDM red Type R front seat


    And yeah that beige floormat has to go.

    Re: Mad JDM dash yo!

    Front seats are done. The only thing that I'd like to complain is how they appears to be 'bulky' and lost its bucket appearance of the stock Lude seats since he made the new cover over the stock cover, which both of them has foam backing under the fabric making them thicker. But eh I could fix that by taking off the old cover and further stretch the new cover. Plus with the price that I paid, I can't complain much!







    Still waiting for the rear seats, armrest and headrests.

    Sorry for the crappy pics.

    Re: Mad JDM dash yo!

    All done!


    Sorry I couldn't take any decent pics with this camera phone. They all come out washed out, from the camera being crazy with the dark interior+sunny day. I'll get decent ones later.

    Anyway, remember how I said the fronts are bulky? I, being myself will never be satisfied with stuffs like this, and tried to fix them myself The problem with them is how he put a new cover, which the fabric are foam backed, on top of stock cover, which also foam backed, making them thick. The lude seats are slightly higher than stock, and coupled with this bulky cover thing, my head is almost touching the roof. Keep in mind that I'm just 5'8".

    Not a problem to me lol

    Driver's seat ripped out:


    Stock cover




    How stock cover are pulled from behind to get that 'tight' look


    Now to figure out how to sew something to pull the new cover from underneath... I can't sew lol

    Re: Mad JDM dash yo!

    Whatever that is still beige is going as soom as I get hold of vinyl spray and new floormats.

    I can't get the chrome trims on the door panel to stay. I need to get that sorted out.

    BTW heres a new look without the over riders on. Ignore that gigantic leaf on the bonnet


    Tints next! I'm pretty sure the fabric won't last long if exposed to the sun everyday.

    And night pics with all LEDs lights up!

    Man it does look nice and clean without the bumper overriders or whatever they're called. Good decision, IMO.
