Updates to the my Accord. Been gone for awhile as I was moving into our new house and raising my kids. So my wife decided that I needed to get back to working on the Accord.

She bought me a JTC Customs short shifter for XMAS

Installed with my Vibrant shift knob

Found a great local deal on some OEM Accord floor mats in great condition for $40

My homie sold me some 4th Gen Prelude seats. Even though they look like two big ****s, but they are some of the most comfortable seats I've sat in. Gonna use some ultra low custom rails to install these

Bought some Blackhousing headlights at Honda Day in April in Atco

Ok so finally a friggin updated..LOL! So I was searching online for some parts for my white sedan and I came across a "Carbon Grey" 01 Sedan. Price was reasonable and I picked it up :)
So now I have this 01 which is my new project and my white 98 will now be my winter beater!

Here is a pic of her.
2001 Honda Accord Sedan ULX (carbon grey colour). Paint is pretty dull and wasn't done very well, but the car has no rust!

This is spring/summer 2013

Also picked up some 18" x 8" 5 Zigen rims for cheap just to throw on till the fall. That's when the real fun begins :)

I know this car needs some serious TLC, but i'm up for the challenge. I've been a 5th Gen Accord lover for years (owing 13 of them in total).

My goal is to make this my 6th Gen look and feel very similar to my favorite 5th Gen that i owned back in 2005
