huh? I hope you are being sarcastic, the white hachbacks 86 to 89 all came greek white NH-82 usually with a blue interior. The white is a nod to Japanese racing history and to their F1 wins. It's traditional that Japanese race cars were white, just like British race cars were often green.Originally Posted by 2ndGenGuy
here's a great link with traditional racing colors.

No way man. I'm as srs as srs gets. Maybe you should go back and look at your Honda history. They've never made a white car, period. Championship White is a lie.
hatches...whores... white hatches... whores with white hatches...why.. why .why
this would look good on a hatchback, vintage decals
here's a scale model of the very first honda F1 car, it made it to 10th place in the 1964 German grand prix but dropped out due to suspension damage it's the Honda RA271 F1 , and yes it was white,
^
not convinced
Lol come on guys calm down let's not argue about it.

Hey roodoo hatch is looking great. Cant wait to see it with the bumper on. The only other facelift hatch i remember seeing was Guaynabo's. Definitely a fan of that look. We need whole-car pics when its done

There is someone who makes the Motul motor oil sticker on ebay, now thats old school!! It's primarily a Japanese motorcycle oil but it was very popular to run in the smaller race honda's, If it's still made and available I'll bet the A20 would like it too,

Not cheap is an understatement...

Bass like Base... Not fish.
I dont think I like the clear corner lights, I got them last year and just now put them on something. Three options, I will smoke them out, I will sell them, or I will have vinyl graphic made to simulate a light and put it on the flip light mouldings.
I had some black reflective (to gold) vinyl I had the idea to put that on the mouldings and the grill. Here is a teaser pic, the flash made it reflect white but in reality it does a gold metalic.
Still need to get another light panel on the drivers side its bent up, then I will take the bumper back off and fix the bumper mounts. After that I will adjust all the hood, and lights to align properly.

Too late now for this tip, but high end window tint that absorbs/blocks UV light will prevent the vinyl on the door panels from deteriorating. My car is proof. The top of the back seat still looks mint, too. Once you redo the panels it's worth the money for the tint. I had to replace my 1991 vintage tint last year and the newer non-laminated tint should last even longer.
for sure.. everything on that side of the car got toasted which bites because the rest of it was immaculate. I have seen some good panels in the JY, just need to see how the panel comes apart so I know if I need both sides because none of the ones I found matched really.. would need dye plus the center upholstered panel is different. Of course there is the option to recover both sides too like Tim said.
I am a big fan of window tint.. they just dont make sun visors long enough for me lol. I have the seat all the way back and then some.
