installed an obx short shifter adapter

Any thoughts on it's quality? I got it for free essentially. I read that it does fail :( or something. I installed it and seems to be pretty sturdy

That was a mouthful. Haha But I appreciate the input, I agree with what you said mostly.

I could have the roof spoiler painted black, but I like it so much paintmatched, I don’t know what I would like it better black. I could PS it to see how it looks. But yeah it originally came as carbon fiber, which I really don’t like. Dark blue, green, or black cars look alright with CF accents, but I don’t like it with lighter colors like red, white, etc. And I’m actually not a big fan of CF to begin with lol.

I think I’m hesitant because for so long I had the roof spoiler and OEM wing together, and it was just too much after awhile. Now the car is so clean, I am just afraid to “clutter” it again.

I’ll probably put it on in the end, I’m just enjoying the clean look right now I think.
Haha. I could have said it plain & simple like "why don't you paint the w.s. black. L.s. would stand out good." Lol. It's prolly that Eng being not my primary lang, and I tend to construct long sentences, and I can't help it lol.

Yeah, have it PSed and play around w/ ur own eyes. More or less, I'm sure nothing can go wrong w/ ur sense of styling, man.

Climate control functions decided to die all of a sudden with the exception of the fan/speed. Found a DIY online that fixed it by adding a jumper wire to the circuit board. Climate is fully functional again and didn't have to spend a dime. :rock:

Nice job! I have been contemplating doing this too with gloss black as my roof has fade spots. Any pics from further back?

Gave the car a quick wash from a diy accord meet we had. Also helped others with their accords, here's some diy photos.
That looks really fun. Such a nice meet. Are they NWA crew? The last pic reminds me of having a Seattle Silver CB7. Man, I miss that car.

Man that sounds awesome! Love that there's love for all Accords from 4th gen to 8th gen.
Wish stuff like that happened around here, or even a regular meet.

Looks nice! Always liked the black or carbon fiber roof look. Wish my car wasn't black so I could pull it off lol.
