crazymikey : 1990 Accord LX

[crazymikey]

Just the Accord Inspire emblem on the top right and the Canadian "Honda" on the left, as pictured already.

That's cdm? O_o

Oh shit, I just thought of something, I get canadian EFs at my JY all the time at my local JY, maybe I can get drls if I find a CDM cb7!

Looks good. If you match up the headlights and grill your exterior would be complete.

[crazymikey]

Nope, not changing the front end. I hate 9293 headlights & grilles. That's why I'm not going with the 1pc headlights either. If they were 9091s I'd have kept them.

Looks fine to me the way it is, and I'm not cutting the the top lip on the bumper either, since the grille is colour matched and you can barely notice the difference.

[keepinitclean]

Mike you don't need to cut the bumper. Just cut a peice of the black plastic on the grille (towards the bottom) so that the grille can flex over the lip and look more uniform.

[crazymikey]

It looks fine the way it is.

[Hostile]

I didnt mean to be judgemental. If you like the look that's all that matters

[crazymikey]

I dont think you were being judgemental, I think you were just trying to get me to set it up properly, which I agree with, but, I don't like the whole 9293 look in the front.

Basically the way I'm mixed with 9091 lights/grille, and 9293 bumper in the front, and 9293 trunk/tails and 9091 bumper in the rear is the best possible exterior combination IMO.

[Hostile]

I also agree that I like the 9091 lights better than the 9293, but I like the 9293 bumper better than the 9091 because the usdm fogs flow with the bumper. The only reason I didn't convert my wagon to 9293 is because I came across a jdm set of 9091 fogs witch actually curve with the bumper.

[crazymikey]

I'm just not a big fan of OEM fogs on either year. If I ever do fogs, I'll do the ES300 style projector fogs. I think those are the best because they're small, and pretty slick lookin', without taking up the whole bottom of the bumper.

I see what Hostile is getting at. I'm personally a little OCD when it comes to fitment. Anything that doesn't fit perfectly or the way it's supposed to bothers me. Either way, you're doing your thing and hell, you made AOM so you've gotta be doing something right, we're (or at least I am) just giving you honest opinions.

Fixed up my leaky exhaust tonight. Dead silent OEM. Absolutely wonderful. So little leaks, nice clean sound. No rasp, nothing ugly. Just a little deeper tone with the intake induction.

Love it. No need for an aftermarket exhaust on this car. Hondas sound awful.

[Mike1357]

Correction, Honda's with shitty ebay exhausts, straight pipes (hell even test pipes) and leaky gaskets sound awful.

[crazymikey]

And even with aftermarket mufflers on stock exhausts.

ebay catbacks are the worst.

But yes, you are correct. I would totally rusn a WS2 or something, but my car isn't built for speed....unless I do go ahead with an H swap. The F is just my reliable driver.

[Mike1357]

No car on this site is built for speed maybe with the exception being Ronald's cars. Even purely from an aesthetics viewpoint a WS2 is a nice upgrade. Keep your F until it pops. Only reason I went H is because old reliable finally gave up the ghost.
