drop it MORE??? You're NUTS. With that lip on, I have almost NO clearance as it IS. Wheel gap could LOOK a little less, I'll agree, but I'm more concerned about hanging my exhaust on a speed bump then an extra 1/2 inch of appearance altering drop.

The drop I have now is perfect for the roads here. Functional, and I can still DRIVE without rubbing.

Headlights are the same ones that everyone loves to bash... Got'em from a shop in CA off ebay. HID... if I had to do it again, I'd do it at the same time as the headlights just to make it a little bit simpler, but it was a straightforward switch too

That is an awsome car, I love it. Where did you get those projectors??? Ive seen projectors bt those look differents from the ones ive seen

**92accordDx** · 05-16-2004, 08:49 PM

come on man dropping it more wont hurt. i had mine as low as it is now with my mugen lip and it never got messed up. the roads around me aint the best.

Guaranteed theyr'e not as bad as they are here.

I did a lot of research before I got my springs, and I had a choice between 2.2 and 1.8... I made my choice... I'm not trying to convince anyone to raise their car, so guess what? You might be wasting your time trying to tell me mine needs to go lower.

The projectors are "Eagle Eye" brand... they are a little different from some of the others out there... I got them because there weren't ANY fourth gen accords with one piece projectors around here, and still aren't to my knowledge.

Yes, the lights ARE cheaper then JDM... but my car isn't from Japan. It was assembled in Ohio. I don't see the point of dressing a car up to look like something it's not (like cavaliers and S-10s with altezzas... wtf?) but that's just me. If it's good for you it's good for me.

HID kit was $350 US shipped, I believe. Installation wasn't EASY but it wasn't that hard. The kit was custom made to have a bulb to fit the projectors, but at the same time, wiring to match the OEM harness. Almost worked. I had to modify the plug slightly to fit, but there are NO changes to the original harnesses dispite the projectors AND HID. With an afternoon and 4 beers I could have the car completely stock looking again (except for the springs, prolly).

heh, i know the feeling of scraping. eibach sportlines (1.8) dont give ya much room to do much. i scrap everywhere and i just have an OEM lip. looks great though.

About those lights. they are just ones you buy off e-bay. no shit. cheaper than JDM ones. How much one of those HID kits cost?And was that HID kit hard to put in? thanks alot and keep up the good work.

Man, that car is clean. I like it alot. I like the look of the exaust, very clean, factory look. Thats what I was looking for but I got bigger diam. dual tips that turn up. Very nice.

**92Accord EX-R** · 05-16-2004, 09:23 PM

thanks... factory was exactly how i wanted it to look.

perform and sound, on the other hand... hehehe

**timmy0tool** · 05-17-2004, 05:59 PM

where did you get your front window visors? can i see some closer pics of them. it seems i can only find the 4-door versions. the car is looking great! another rosewood brown 92 coupe in our midst just like me. I LOVE IT!

HID + projector headlights = nice, clean cutoff.

**92Accord EX-R** · 05-17-2004, 07:33 PM

I can take more pics, but... they're OEM Honda I think, they're stamped near the sill on both side. Prolly impossible to locate at a dealer now.

**timmy0tool** · 05-17-2004, 09:42 PM

you're right about getting another set. it's prolly more rare than a OEM flush mount spoiler. if you feel like getting rid of the visors, let me know. i've been dying to get my hands on a set for a coupe. take some pics or pm them to me. thanks!

BUT, you say you have...............Accord "Inspire" badging???

I am truly confused at your point of view.
However, I really like your car, whatever your point is.
Why is it that projectors are so dissed? I guess all our cars should look the same?
JDM headlights for everyone!!!

**92Accord EX-R** · 05-18-2004, 06:53 AM

How many people with JDM headlights have inspire badging???

My car is all about being unique from most of the other ones. Or as much as possible. I got the inspire badge because Inspire is LOADED to t he gills, as is my EX-R, with every available option for the model year.

And I wanted to confuse people that know nothing about accords.

"Inspire??? Must be european or something"

idunno why everyone hates projectors. i had a 4 or 5 page thread defending them when i first put them in. Whatever... to each his own
