Re: KnightRyder - 2000 Accord V6 Coupe

My god I am sooo jealous. That car is clean, clean, CLEAN! Points of interest: I love your engine bay, especially the gunmetal on the engine covers. Interior... :drool: If there's one thing about my car I wish I had the most, it would be a full black interior exactly like that one. And those gunmetal rims are beautiful. I better get to see your car at some meet around here :D
