93CB7 : 1993 Accord EX

[mrfreddio55]

I'm going to use a line output converter to get the signal from the OEM radio to the AMP. The Fog Light switch is to fill the last unused hole in the dash and for future Fog Lights.

I'm curious as to why you dont want to upgrade the headunit...

Because I am very big on uniformity. I don't like the way after market radios look in the dash with the silver face, blue lights, etc. I did upgrade the stereo to an AM/FM/CD Player out of a 98' Prelude SH in the 90' LX. In the spring when this one comes out of storage the stereo will be going into this car. the only thing really wrong with this radio is the bulbs light up amber instead of the green/blue color. But, i hope to fix this before spring.

to each their own I guess.

First of all, nice cb!!! I'm very jealous as I would love to have a second cb7 just like that for cruising around in.

Second, damn is that your house!?! Looks pretty damn nice.

Third, the Pioneer deck I recently sold phatdoughnut would of looked great in your ride. All the colors(green,orange, etc.) all match the interior lights of our cars. It really blended in well for a aftermarket radio. My new deck is silver with blue light and sticks out like a sore thumb. I hate that aspect, but its performance features far outweigh the looks downside.

Good luck on your plans

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Second, not my house. My Uncle's house in Texas. You don't get to see much of it at all, the picture of the 05' is taken in front of my house in Minnesota.

Damn buddy 68k miles. I remember when I purshased mines 5yrs ago. It has 54k on it, now lol through alot of driving im pushing 168k+. Time for an engine swap.
May I suggest 5% tint and switch those stock rims for the 95 EX seven spoke. I think it will look hot on your car. Awesome job keep it up

I have to double check with "The Man". I found a website that tells each states laws on window tint. Minnesota can only go 50%, but I am going to double check because with side view mirrors I don't legally have to be able to see out of the two back windows nor the rear window.
I considered getting the 7 spoke wheels because i am going to paint the calipers and I want to show them off, but I really like the 12 spokes. There kind of Mercedes Benz looking. Anyone know how much it would cost to get them chromed? And where?

Changes so far...

Original shift handle


New shift handle out of a '92 Acura. Need to dye the leather black and shorten the pole that the hadle mounts onto.


Installed OEM foglight switch. '94 foglight kit arrived today. Will install soon!


Swapped out bumper signal markers. Man is she getting dirty sitting in storage.

nice car!

Immediate needs:

1. Tires. Either Bridgestone Protenza G009 or Kumho KH16 Solus.
2. Battery
3. Alignment
4. Fuel system flush to fix rough idle when in gear.

Very nice! And low miles, too! One company that some of my friends have been really happy with has been www.calchrome.com -- I, too, considered doing my OEM 6-spoke wheels, but was convinced not to by a few fellow CB7Tuner members. When I was looking into having my wheels done, I worked with a really nice guy there named "Rick." For mine, I believe it was $125/wheel plus $35/OEM lug cover and the cost for the black center "H" stickers (Honda emblem) to have that really original look. And, of course, shipping. I thought it was pretty reasonable to achieve that really unique look yet maintaining a clean original style. You might wanna give him a call. Good luck w/ that and stop by my page sometime

Follow-up: Congrats on scoring those fogs lights. I've wanted a set for my CB7 from the very first foggy fall/winter of ownership. Anything invasive or involves cutting of anything on my car just freaks me out, particularly if they're not a professional or business that I can pick a bone with in the event something were to go wrong. I'm guessing a Honda service center could still install those fogs for you, but I'm sure they'd charge ya a whole bunch, too. Also, I noticed Flyinlow got a set of EDM fogs from UK_Accord, I'd like to see how those turn out! Did you get your fogs for a pretty good price? I haven't started to look at prices yet, would be nice to get a ballpark figure.

93CB7: I bet your just wanting for warm weather to really get it showroom ready.

Yeah I know what you mean about the not wanting to cut the bumper cover yourself-thing. I recently had my cover replaced but the thought of those USDM fogs was in the back of my mind. If I received a complete kit and knew someone who could do the work at a good price...

Is the black H sticker a separate part? Just for the alloys or the plastic covers too?

I think the sticker is just on the center cap for the alloys. The "H" on the wheel covers is painted on. The last '93 I owned was a LX with the wheel covers. The black for the "H" was disappearing so I filled them back in to freshen it up.
