Went for a drive until I found an old abandoned factory area, so I took advantage of the picture perfect time of day and the location.
Here's my ride:
Everything about this car is stock right now. Most of it will probably remain stock except for a few cosmetic things, and maybe in the future I'll spend some serious $$$ on a manual swap, and maybe some engine modifications, but right now I don't know a lot about the car, so I need to do the research and spend the time getting to know it.
I'm planning on buying some Ksport lowering springs soon, get some stance going.
Home made roof rack with 4 55W fog lights, and "Men" sign. Oh, the foglights aren't hooked up to work yet, because I spent most of my day today trying to wire them up, and then they wouldn't turn on when I flipped the switch. So... Either I'm doing it wrong, or I'm missing something very simple.
Painted the wheels flat black, and one lug on each rear wheel is highlighter yellow. I think it adds a subtle flare to the wheels.
Drivers side headlight is foggy, so I'll probably replace it sometime, but for now it's no biggie.
The hood had some rust spots, so my dad sanded them down and primed it about a year ago. I want to sand it all back down and either paint it chalkboard, or go for the rusted look.

On to the pictures!

Rack lights are coming off, but I got bored tonight, so I threw this on there for ****s and gigs. Opinions? I giggled.

Nice car. Yellow lugs look goofy though.

You can buy lens restoration kits for $15-20. Try that first. :jae:

Meh, I think it looks cool, maybe it looks better in person. But I'm diggin it so you guys can suck it:rofl:
Yeah, I looked into that, but I might just buy different lights altogether. I'll try the restoration kit first, though.

That would be cool, I've read a few threads about doing it, maybe over the summer I'll do that and tint the taillights.
I was also thinking about possibly doing that LED light strip across the bottom of the headlight.

With those off road lamps on top I think you have the wrong idea with your car. Instead of getting k sport lowering springs, you should get a lift kit and make the first baja accord.

It would the coolest thing ever, you can do some rally racing, smuggle some of my family members over the border. Hell you can make a living off of that.
