So I now officially have an Accord and here's my pics. *pardon the crappy camera and date*
First is the rear of the car. Now this car has been in about 5 minor fender benders in the past 2 years from the previous owner. Only 1 of them was her fault and most people that hit her had no insurance. :mad: The rear has a dent in it as you can see and I need to reallign the rear bumper again. I did it once last year for her. The trunk is slightly out of alignment, but I could figure out how to reallign it so any tips would be helpful.

Now the front end.
Whoever painted it last did a horrible job on the bumper because it's peeling off. :mad: The leading edge of the hood is slightly off, but whenever I get it repainted I'll get it fixed.

Now onto the interior.
Here's the odo. Yup that's 175k miles and still going strong. The previous owner was extremely meticulous and anal about the car.

And would you believe that this is the original seat. No tears or anything. The seats had sheepskin seatcovers from day 1. Those were nasty though and hit the trash the night I got the car.

Now here are my plans for the car.
1. Install my CD player. *Harness and install kit on its way*
2. Make sure everything runs right and well
3. Design a killer sound system.
4. Work on paint *install body kit, lip kit, or coupe front with lip; not sure which yet* **still going over colors in my head too**
5. Wheels
6. Intake, header, exhaust *This is at the bottom cause this is my Daily Driver and I need this car as reliable as possible* **I'll probably buy the intake sooner though dunno yet*
So that is my intro.

I only want to do the system 1st for the simple reason of I sit in traffic for 2-4 hours a day and enjoy music, but I only listen to music in the car. Doubt I'll ever engine swap though cause I want this car to last because someday I'm gonna buy another 300ZX and twin turbo it so, so that'll be my fast car. This one is gonna be a stylish DD.

damn i need to start whoring up icixsound forums again sometime, such a cool community over there. i kind of quit posting there a long time ago when the mod team got a little too crazy on censorship, but its still a cool site

I'm with Darkside on the engine though, you should maybe think more long-term and put your money into another engine.
