What'd you do to your accord today?

Looked on CL and Ebay for fender roller rental. Thinking I might try doing it myself, I'll just go very slowly. Do people use an actual temp sensor to know if the paint is heated enough, or just hit the fender with a heat gun for 5-10 minutes and you're good?

Thanx, Todd. Yeah, I've heard that it's easy, but I was a little concerned about the badge marks after the job. Then, I heard that Meguiars Scratch X works really well, which I had it in my garage.

Looks good man!

Bought a second one. Now I have 2 J-swapped v6s. Just need to wait for it to ship here.

Say whaaat. Wait for what to be shipped?

They just use a heat gun
Also when you roll them if might block the holes to put the plastic protection thing back in. Just try and tuck it in the rolled fenders

I just heard use WD40 on the adhesive

Hmm, then I'm pretty positive that it's grease that makes it effective. But I'm not too sure if WD40 is really safe for paints tho.

Looks good man!

Thanks, Chris!

It's pretty straight forward with a roller. Use the heat gun on the paint until the paint is hot to the touch, it takes a little while to get it warm enough so it wont crack.

You tend to get some funny looks when you drive without your bumper


I also redid my fog lights, I cut my inserts out so they would fit into it and it looks much better than before.

Can you elaborate on this? I hate how mine sit out so far and was trying to figure out a way to set them back.

Got my new Pedals and fog light bulbs today.

It was like Christmas today.

You know the plastic honeycomb inserts that are where my fogs are? I outlined the fog light itself onto it and cut away the center of the insert and fit it into it. Then I drilled holes in both the inserts and fog light plastic to zip tie it onto each other. I tightened the zipties to angle the fog light to where I wanted it to point. Then just popped the insert (with the fog light now in it as one piece) back in.
