    Re: grille

    The 86-87 Accords had the grill with the chrome. 88-89 had the gray color looking ones.

    You guys and your bling bling, personally I think it would look better all painted the same color as the body.

    Re: grille

    the 88-89 have crome too.. though it's just one strip along the top (u can see it in my sig)

    the problem with swapping in the 86/87 grille is the plastic sides dont match the eyelids or the corners

    Re: grille

    interesting stuff, this feature about our cars is really part of the uniquness of it. the blacked out look is eye catching if the car is the right color, like white
    The carbon fiber look of the 86-87 is cool, but I would like to see some body cover them in another graphic with vinyl, like for example the nascar or nhra type cars with the vinyl headlights , You all have seen the camoflage vinyl people cover there guns, truck trim, and stuff with. this same stuff can be used to create any graphic you please.
    Dam I just thunk this shit up... I am going to look into it!!!
