Welcome to the site.

Enjoy.

Are those stock tails? Couldn't really tell from that angle.

Gonna suggest a pass on those rims, a little too chromey for the Accord, but that is just my opinion.

On second look, I see they are aftermarket tails.

The new wheels aren't mounted.

The wheels are not mounted they were leaning up against the winter ones, as for the tail lights I got them for 60 bucks on the list my brother paints cars so he smoked them for me. Im not a big fan of aftermarket tails for the accords but they were cheap and getting them smoked was free.

these are the 18's I had but I sold them

Just to be clear I did NOT paint my bumper and side skirts different colors I plan on painting the whole car once I piece together everything......

I just put on a black coupe hood I will post some pics of the car with a better camera.

I'm planning on an OEM style lip in front and I'm trying to figure out what to do for the rear. I was looking in to 2001/02 corolla S fog lights I was fooling around at the auto wrecker with one of the inserts on the 2001 coupe bumper and found it fits the corolla hole perfectly (flipped upside down) so I looked on ebay at some here is link

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Toyota-01-02-Corolla-GLASS-Fog-Light-Lamp-RL-H-One-Pair-W-2-Light-Bulb-NEW-/161223307158?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A2001%7CModel%3ACorolla&hash=item2589a86f96&vxp=mtr

I think it would be pretty easy to fab them in and they look pretty nice, glass lens too... Anybody have these or try them?

I have blacked out headlights started with a LED strip inside I got a pretty much brand new drivers side light from wrecker and finished it and my passenger one is new so I will black that one out here is a few pics

Ebay tails, dual can exhaust on a 4-cylinder with no engine work, and the wheels.. All 3 of those things could use some re-consideration, otherwise, clean car! Definitely good potential, and nice coupe bumper swap. :thumbsup: Also nice job on the blackhoused headlights, they look very well done.
