Been a while...

Some of the work I've seen on here is incredible! It's awesome that there are so many guys dedicated to the 3G. Props to all y'all!

Changed a few things since I was on here last. Thought I'd drop some pics along with an update.

In the summer of '09 I was headed up to my parents house when I drove through a construction zone a little faster than I should have. I ended up smashing my oil pan coming out of a section of road that hadn't been repaved yet and blew a hole in my oil pan about the size of a nickel. Needless to say, I was pissing oil and had to get towed the rest of the way. The next day I bought some JB Weld and thought I could patch the sucker up temporarily using a quarter, just to get me back into the city. I let the weld cure, dropped in some oil, checked for leaks and thought I was good to go. I was about 5 km from home when the 22 died suddenly at a stop light. Still don't know what the f*uck happened. To make a long story short, I swapped in a blue top H23 from a 4-wheel-drive JDM Accord Type-R wagon.

Since then, I've added a front lip, side skirts, ST front sway bar, custom 3/4" Addco rear sway bar, Justin's bars and rear strut bar, custom air intake and box with cold air, leather back seats, new LED eyebrows (blink as turn signals), 6000k HID kit, rims and rolled fenders.

Thanks Bryan, Roach. Still planning on welding those slanted covers on. Prob. do it when I get it painted...needs it baaaad! There's another guy who did something similar on here with his burgundy hatch. Got to get the details on how he did the plexi though.

The skirts are from a 2nd gen 1.7 Ac EL. Take a look at the EL's rockers (the 7th gen Civic's are the same). I noticed the rockers on these cars looked very similar to our Accord's, and I loved the clean look of the EL skirts, so I new I could make it work. I found out that one of the Acura dealers in T.O. was having a clearance on EL option parts (apparently the model wasn't too popular, so options didn't sell too well). They were clearing stock at 80 or 90% off, so I picked up a set of painted skirts that would have cost me close to a G for 175 bucks!!! They only required a slight mod - had to cut about 3 cm off the length and then bracket the end cap back on. Voila!

Love the car...except the headlights. Would look so much cleaner with stock lights.

Car is awesome! What's the plan for the carpet and glovebox?

...OK...how's this?

Car is awesome! What's the plan for the carpet and glovebox?

I'm thinking black carpet, but I have to solve a leak issue first. Whenever it rains I have water coming in from under the dash on the left side - nothing worse than a wet carpet! Still not sure where the hell it's coming from. Anybody have this same problem? Any ideas? I'm thinking moon roof, antenna molding or maybe under the cowl beneath the windshield. Blocked drainage hose even. Just had the windshield replaced recently so i'm pretty sure it's not the problem.

As far as the glove box goes, still not sure. Maybe a flat screen in place of it. lol The old one was pretty warped as I have found a lot of them get over time.

Appreciate it...but I left out the pic of the driver's seat that's coming apart at the seam. lol

I just got that rear out of a 2nd gen TL (02', 03'?) last week. The car was literally about to be crushed at a metal recycling yard when I happened to be walking by and saw the rear of the car from the sidewalk. I'd been looking for leathers for the rear for the last couple years and wasn't even sure what would fit, so I asked if I could take 'em just out of curiosity. I managed to bargain one of the yard guys down from 50 bucks to half that on the low. When I came back to take measurements, it seemed like they would fit nicely but I was still a little skeptical. When I put 'em in, they fit like a glove. The only mod I had to make was to dremel new slots for the loops on the upper cuz they didn't line up with the originals. Still gotta figure out how to secure the lower half, but I've got good 'ol zip ties in the meantime. I really lucked out on this one cuz if I had gotten there 5 minutes later, that TL woulda been FUBAR! So if anyone's looking for rears and isn't sure...

Shit...just realized i started this thread in the wrong section.

[Rendon LX-i]

Wow thats all I'm gonna say. I love the lights I'm considering doing that to. What seats are those?

Thanks. If you need any info on the lights, lemme know. Fronts are 3rd gen Teg GSR's with custom brackets. Read post #21 for the rears (2nd gen TL's).

I've had leaks in that location on just about every accord i've owned,I think it's where the inner fender is pinch welded by where the hood hinge bolts on.Bye the way nice car man.
