Wow... can't believe my last update was 2 years ago [emoji28]. Got super swamped with work averaging 50-80 hours a week constantly from 2018-2019. Kinda let the Accord sit for a minute since I bought a 2006 Honda CBR600RR to help cope with the responsibility of adulting. Brace yourselves for a long update lol.
Let's see what have I done to the Accord since....
-destroyed 2 Bayson R lips, destroyed a Type R style lip, broke through (2) 7th gen Accord Mugen lips (Downtown detroit roads are equivalent to Baghdad)
- installed and wrapped E36 M3 side skirts after my Wings West Replica skirt broken flew off on the freeway (hopefully you're starting to see why I stopped driving the car and got the motorcycle instead)
- wired up my cruise control on my RSX steering wheel
- finally refinished my BBS LMs 17x8 +30 17x9+27 (reverse mounted to get more aggressive offset, hand polished the lips, painted inside barrel black, powdercoated the faces silver, and finished it off with 24k gold hardware)
Side note: can't run these wheels yet since they don't clear my BBK now in the current spec shown above...since the faces have different offsets, I'm going to run the more agressive face (+27) in the front and resort to using a spacer in the rear. [New wheel specs will be 17x8+27 and 17x9+30. See pics below for difference in fitment] There's a rust bubble on the rear fender so I need to shave the fenders instead of rolling them so that'll happen over the winter or in the spring of 2021.
- completed my Acura RL BBK upgrade (FFC Bracket, SS Lines, Powerstop 350Z rotors and Powerstop Pads)
- swapped out the stock speakers for aftermarket Polk...sub and amp still need to be purchased
- Trimmed and fit Acura TSX mirrors and had custom white DRL LED switchback installed. They're not on the car since I still need to wire them up and wrap them
- Bought an Acura TSX voltex style diffuser and sent off for paint before install
- Installed a KBD R34 style front bumper for temporary winter use [emoji23] (some kid in a truck destroyed my front bumper again so I sent it off to the body to get my CF4 Fogs remolded and the now discontinued Bayson R Lip fixed) took my body guy over a year to finish [emoji58]
- copped a set of taillights with the amber corner delete on OfferUp from
@statuskuo
I also have another set of mint 01-02 taillights that I'm planning on sending out to a builder to get a custom build on down the road.
- installed an OEM sunroof visor which doesn't look the greatest IMO but makes a difference in noise that justifies me keeping it
-And for the most recent update......I copped an Acura CLS6 as a donor car!! My supercharger can finally stop collecting dust in the basement. More on this car to come later
I'll add pics of the updates, the pictures are coming out potato quality for some reason
