Hey guys i am majoring in meteorology and i want to chase tornadoes for the rest of my life. I am converting my fully blacked out v6 sedan into a chasing vehicle. I had a few questions. I have designed a brush guard for my car but i dont want to spend a lot of time and money having one built. Would there be any brush guard out there that might mount on our accords. I was going to add a winch and some lights on it. I also designed hail guards to protect my windshield, side windows, and rear window. i will post my designs on later when i find them.

considering no one to my knowledge has ever attempted that stuff with our car, all the brush guard/ winch installing will be custom. GL with that and i'm interested to see what the design's will look like.

you should trade in your car for a truck.

something tells me that a 6th gen accord isnt the best platform for what you want to use it for.

and i somewhat agree with andy, accords aren't really that heavy... maybe some old *** station wagon would suite you better. heavy as ****, a lot of room, and probably w/ a built on roof rack
