Ahaha

The UPS tracking thingy says Monday, gonna get them installed during winter break hopefully.

That would be sweet. If they are the same ones I ordered from, which I think they are (neondials), then they ship from Canada. Mine took foreverrrr to get here. Nice touch on the Honda emblems on the main page btw

Didn't think about sigs yet lol, I'll look into it.

Yeah my sig hasnt been working either. Avatar is good, sig doesnt work though

I think they're enabled now.

Let me check


Edit: Yessir. We are in business

Since I'm admin, I'm gonna be the snobby asshole with the special text who doesn't have an avatar or sig.

Im near the North Park area. Nice of you to join us!

*Updated some pics.

update - got my lights on

Finally took off the license plate frame I see

If you don't really want to put money into it, a couple things you could do:

-Paint lower grill slats black, like oem
-94/95 front lip, because all the cool kids do it
-Do the mod to put plate in lower grill, and tilt it

Lookin good though, glad you got the Depos installed even if you did have a shop do it

1. No, I like it like that
2. yeah I might
3. I plan to ziptie the plate like javier

shhh

He has like 2 different plates on his though

Shaun on HS

check out that plate poke :coolguy:



Even Liam got down with the some of the PokeZ



TSA GO HARD on that PLATE POKE son!

look at javier's profile pic, it's one plate now, the usual ziptie.

will mine poke? if it will, I hope it won't scratch the lower part of the bumper..

.......Its all blurred out. Just do it like Shaun did. Looks better. And just put some double sided tape back there on the back of plate so it wont scratch

IT WOULD MOST LIKELY NOT SCRATCH THE BUMPER

thanks for the pic, I got white zipties so it would blend in. I was working on it today and got the plate off finally (a screw was stuck like a b****), then I tried to get those two bolts under the bumper for the bracket, but I only had a small socket screwdriver and it was hard to get them to move, needed more force so I gave up.. Q said we could get it off at the meet.

NO PROBLEM AND YEE WE COULD TRY IT OUT WHAT SIZE SOCKET IS IT THOUGH

I think everything on our Accords are like 10mm, but I don't know how to read the socket I used (showing like fractions?), I just put what fit. Someone else might know, if all brackets use the same size bolts..

I THINK IT IS A 10MM I FORGOT BUT DO YOU HAVE HOLES ON YOUR BUMPER TJJAT HOLD THE BRACKET AND THE PLATE TO THE BUMPER??

Yes, It is a 10mm



And those "fractions" you were seeing were for standard measurements. As in U.S. They are fractions of an inch. Anything on a Honda, since they are mad tyte JDM is going to be in metric (10mm etc).



The bracket shouldn't touch at the top, and should definitely not be screwed in at the top. If it is, you will have problems. It mounts from the bottom. If you still don't have it by the time of the meet, I can get it like I said. Try to stray away from anything using those "fractions". It will strip the nut
