one day I'll return.
Ok here it goes I dont post on here 4 approval.I post on here in case some1 sees something they like from my ideas they can use then that is great.(and a few have believe it or not)The stripes were painted on because I have always wanted a car with stripes and since I dont have a viper this will do and I wouldnt take a viper over my honda anyway.The stripes were painted just on hood and top an trunk instead of going over bumpers to make it look more like ole school hotrod than fast -n- furious jap crap.But the main reason my car has stripes is because I dont like to blend you can take a drive down the interstates here an you will pass 100,s of accords all looking the same if I wanted my car to look stock I would have left it exactly like it looked when I bought it from the old lady that I bought it from.I didnt exactly ask for stripes on it anyway I sanded a 600 foot floor for a guy and he painted it for free.He told me he was going to suprise me and this is what I got.So I think I will stick with the stripes since total cost of paint job was exactly 0$.Look at pics. below an tell me you dont think it is an improvement from what it used to be.

Not saying he can't, just saying that it falls into a category most guys don't want their car to be in.Originally Posted by 86ccord
And hey, it definitely has made progress, but there things that are still just too much and should not be on a car that wants to be taken seriously. I dont want to bash, I just want to be honest.
You have really cleaned the car up though, props to that.
Go for it.
Its not stock just to let you know.

I honestly think you guys need to make positive comments or just not comment at all. Overall ,the car has come along ways. compared to the flames and shit before, its pretty nice looking. One thing I would do is take that tach off... unless you plan on turning it into a manual ( which I HIGHLY recommend) Just my .02.

Next, head work, new exhaust(2 1/4 inch) and cam.
That's the kinda stuff I am letting him know about. The useless type-r badge on a car that didnt even exist when R's did, and the useless tach. Honda put one in the cluster for a reason.
very niceGo for it.
Its not stock just to let you know.
I already removed tach cause light was so brite at night in it I couldnt make left turns without covering it up.lol as for type-R I havent really like that much since I put it on.Just the paint was still real fresh when we put it on an I havent really had time to take it back to get it off yet.is all just because its on dosent mean I like it im just trying diff. things driving for awhile(to be honest I dont have a clue what Type-r even means I know its something with racing I just like how it was spelled and because it said accord haha
yes I would like to do manual swap for sure I have the dx that I think im never going to get a title for an was going to use it for the swap but it jumps out of 5th an reverse so I dont know if its even worth trying it with the tranny that doesnt work quite right.
Thing is we all do what we want to our cars. I'm not a believer in the idea that we can't express our opinions, good, bad or indifferent, but we should have a little tact in our delivery. Just telling someone their car looks stupid, or making the ever-so-irritating statement of 'Rice' just comes across as ignorant.
Hey, some of us cut the body up and do custom stuff there, some paint it a funky color, some like duckbill spoilers while others like shopping carts. Really let's not just see our taste, but look at the work being done. This paint job looks pretty damn clean. The attention to detail with the mudflaps, and the fact that the stripes are actually straight, among other things, is pretty damn good.
The stripes are not my cup of tea either, but to each his own right. I'm with doing the swap to stick from auto to make that tac actually useful.
I think perhaps the best props go out to the way headbanger is handling himself with the responses he's getting. Props to you my man.

The tranny's can be had for pretty cheap. Still very much worth the swap, just line up a better tranny for the swap. Make sure you have a car on hand to run back and forth to the parts store and j/y while you're doing this swap though. ...oh and have internet access and a computer, so you can post up any questions while you're going through it. A number of us have done it at least once, I know I've done it twice already, and could easily see a third around the corner, and we can all help with getting it done.

wanted to c if I could get some inout how do you think a gold emblem kit would look on my car?The body shop guy took my type r off today but I have to put something over the place thats there.I thought gold my look good on that white pearl...
it's a little *bling*, but I think you can pull it off if you were to get bronze (gold) wheels.
Gold emblems use to be huge in the lowrider community, and in the early/mid 90's damn near every higher end car (lex, infiniti, benz, bimmer, acura, caddy, etc) had gold option packages available from the dealer/factory.
Wait, take some pics, and see if someone can photochop the shots to you can get a real good idea of what you're getting into

If you want that damn type r stiker on there, keep it on there, just cuz someone said its not a true type r doesnt mean you gotta take that shit off.
