Say hello to Nami, my 2001 Honda Accord coupe. She started off as a bone stock people mover on my wife's side of the family. A few fender benders and owners later, I saved her from the chopping block of a dealer trade-in in 2010. Having fallen in love with her spacious and comfy interior, I decided to spruce up the exterior with inspiration from her cousins overseas.
The Inspiration
