    synergy10's LX V6 Coupe

    Thanks for the advice! I checked to see how much leftover Duplicolor caliper paint I have and there's enough to coat all 4 calipers. Otherwise, I'd give the G2 brand a try. Curious as to what color you went with? It also smoothed itself out surprisingly well (for being brushed on that is). Here...

    Threw on some Legend 2 piston calipers a while ago. The coating on them sucks so I'll have to get them powder coated or I may just use the duplicolor brush on coating (have used it in the past and am happy with the results).

    synergy10's LX V6 Coupe

    Thanks for the advice! I've never really looked into any performance upgrades for this chassis since it was mainly my wife's daily and she wasn't interested in any of that. Now that it's becoming more of my "work" car, I'm wanting a bit more out of it. I did some searching on the 3.2 v6/6 spd...

    synergy10's LX V6 Coupe

    Went for a cruise with fam and friends last weekend. Got to see my old CRX and S2k on the road again (both owned by my brother in laws now and are hardly driven). The Accord being the heaviest and the only auto in the group did quite well through the twisties. It got me thinking about...

    Thank you! That's the goal! :favorites13: Yeah, it was tough to go back to the C5's since the TL wheels look good and are not so tempting to thieves. Another plus is not having to worry about curbs or potholes as much. Thanks man! :thumbsup:

    Thanks...been a while since I've messed with the Accord. It's already starting to get addicting and fun again!!! Thanks as well. Went with wider tires on purpose just for that reason. That would be comical...haha. These are .5" wider but if they were an exact match, I would have been...

    Motor swap shop in SoCal/San Diego?

    Looking for a shop to get the motor in our AV6 replaced with the same or better (TL-S) while keeping the auto trans. Either keep the original trans (it lasted close to 200k before we rebuilt it and the car now has 245k) with a used 3.0 Accord motor or upgrade to the 3.2 TL-S motor and auto...

    98 Accord LX V6 Coupe

    Thanks man! I actually was looking into the 01-02 rear bumper when they first came out since it looks like it already had a "lip". I wasn't feeling the OEM rear lip on the 98-00 bumper back then...felt like it made the rear end look too big. So I ran mud guards for a while. Now I'm glad I...

So, I bead blasted the valve cover, painted it with black high temp paint and then I sanded off the insignia.
