    Finally adding myself to the scene

    Hi guys,
    My name is Daniel from Phoenix/Tempe, AZ. I drive a 89 Accord LX-i with 180,XXX miles. Its my daily driver. Has a few problems but then again who's doesn't? Hopefully you guys can give me the feedback I need so I can fix it myself and I dont have to spend more on paying someone to fix it than the car itself is actually worth. The car has been in my family since it ever so smoothly stepped off the dealership display :P and now I have it. Its actually older than me by one year haha. Have been on the 3geez forum for a while now only as a spectator, never actually posted any threads but now i'm going to be spending alot more time on here.

    Heres my 3g let me know what you guys think. Be honest too I wont be offended...

    Re: Finally adding myself to the scene

    The wheels are Sprint Hart CP-F.... Fairly rare wheel, and they can be pretty pricey, there are knock-offs of them out there though.

    Also, Welcome to the forum, good to see more new members around, and looks like you have a really clean accord... wheels and stance look pretty good too, what mods have you done so far?

    Re: Finally adding myself to the scene

    Thanks guys! I appreciate all your comments!
    to begin to reply to some of your messages though.

    Well the fuel door is actually the paint fading after being topped off ridiculously at tge gas station then driving off into the AZ heat that way. Its been that way since it was my older brothers. Would anyone know how to fix that without repainting it?

    About AZHT. I am on there but it was a similar situation to this of 3geez. I never added anypics, never really got on, or got too situated, so as you can imagine I probably couldnt remember my password to save my life! Haha but i'm going to check it out again and look you up man. Thanks for the invite.

    Thanks for the comments guys!

    Re: Finally adding myself to the scene

    please don't paint it that way... just keep it simple and clean dude. put a lip from a 1g integra and maybe do a CF hood... but i'd leave it like that.

    Re: Finally adding myself to the scene

    awww man dont do this to me!. I've had my heart set on this paint job for quite some time now... But now that someone mentions it I'm going to consider leaving it. I'm always changing my mind so who knows maybe it still wont happen.

    I have already picked up a 1g teg lip from the junk yard. I have tried to work on fabricating it, just haven't had the time with school and everything.

    I also got on AZHT today for the first time in a couple of years... So i'll look around see if I can find some people with 3geez...

    Does anyone know if those alternative bumbers could fit my car?

    Re: Finally adding myself to the scene

    the one with the small dip is either 86-87 or all the hatch backs... i think it looks sick personally too, it's a pre face lift... there are a few people on azht with 3geez. mostly just phil though lol...

    cf hood is Carbon Fiber...
