Lol well no matter what you say, not everyone makes their GP/GTP/GXP look 'ghetto' here. Ghetto doesn't = HP.
Must be something in the water in Indy...


Now... back to my car Yay phone pics!



In all its dirty glory.


Being locked out of the house gave me time to wipe down my engine!

i like it

This dickhead stole my hood bra -_-

what a doucher

Seriously? Where at?

Lol That's at my house, bro. Apparently, this guy did some work on someones driveway down the road and he came up to our house holding a brochure to drop off or something. Well, he was ringing the doorball and stuff, then he stuck a brochure in the door, saw the package, kicked off the bundle of mail that was sitting on top of it, jacked the box and took the brochure back. We got a name from the people who had the work done but of course the guy wouldn't give them a receipt and we can't find anything online for the area that he said he was from. I already called one of the postal inspector agents that I've done work on some cases with at work and she said that they'll definitely help us out if we find out who he is.

We've had issues with stuff like this in the past, just not our house specifically. People from out of the area come in and go around like they're offering a service and I lift shit from peoples houses. Kind of ruins the great neighborhood atmosphere. It's ridiculous.

The hood bra was only $60 so it's not like I'm out a TON of money, but still pretty sucky.

like when i ordered my enkei. an expensive rim. it sat on my porch all day. luckily not stolen.... even when it says "enkei" right on the box.

btw.

just saying. get it while u can =]

Ooooh I want a strut bar. Just can't find any!

So... opinions. I really think I want to get rid of the ACCORD badge on the back of my car, but at the same time I like it. lol
So torn.
What do you think if I were to paint it? Better blending? Maybe offset Gunmetal? Or just straight black...
Pictures of any ideas are appreciated

Paint the badge with plastidip, that way you can just remove it whenever.

I plan on getting the Acura TL Sway bars:

Looove those badges! I'll have to look into doing that. If I did, I'd probably just remove, paint, and throw them back on.
Unless someone with more patience wants to tape it off and do it for me (hint hint)

Do you know if the plastidip holds up well to weathering/washing?

hannah, i linked you a strut bar.....

I don't see an 06 in there lol

my bad.

Lol it happens. I can not find ANY strut bars.
Ok, maybe I found one awhile ago but it didn't look legit at all.
Do I have to go for the Acura model then orrrr is there a reason no one has these and I'm just too much of a noob to realize...?

You don't need to remove the badge to paint it. Just paint over them, and use a something sharp to cut off excess. Usually you can just tear off the excess. It holds up pretty well to weather. I'm sure eventually it might wear down. You can pick up a can for $7 at Home Depot, so it's not too expensive if you have to re-do it.

Thanks! Might have to look for some when buying other supplies for this weekends project

hannah, is there enough clearance for the hood? if so, from what i was reading a lot of the accords interchange with tsx, and tl

Yeah there should be a good amount of room there. I'd have to take a closer look at it sometime.
I'm thinking the same thing especially from what Mike posted here earlier.

If your looking for overnight parts from Japan, look up a Honda Inspire

It's their version of your Accord

Just found this while I was searching. Oh my

Dropping knowledge:

5th gen Accords (94-97) were the last models that were the same in the US as well as Japan. They were both called Honda Accords

The later gens are different. We have the Honda Accords here. What we know as the US spec Accord (like yours)....in Japan that is know as the "Honda Inspire".

Likewise.....the Japanese "Accord" is our Acura TSX

Basically, Japan does not have Acura. So they have different names for stuff there. Everything is Honda. That is also where you get your "Honda" Integras, NSX, and RSX. Here....they all fall under the more luxury brand of Acura

/mind f***




*Edit: I never knew our site blocked out words like f***

My hopes are to have my car similar to his in the first post in terms of stance.

Also, the European Accord looks like a TSX, at least for the 7th gen Accords.
