Looks great! Make yourself a blacked out badgeless grill. It will look sooo much cleaner than that empty spot.

New pics are looking good man..ohh btw how the cd player sounds..

Its alot better than the factory one. It thumps pretty good too, considering I have the factory speakers.

Thanks man, I plan on doing maybe about a 1 to 1 1/2 inch drop on it

Yea, I've been thinking of a way to do that nicely. I was going to have the chrome edge done in carbon fiber, and leave the 'H' chrome, but my grandpa moved before it was started. Thats why I took the grille out. I'm just too lazy to put it back in.

A little update:

It's clean again!

[Shadow1]

dag you keep that thing clean man

[prNonVtec4u]

simply well done, i'm sure a slight drop would REALLY set things off, but don't get me wrong though, she looks GREAT

Thanks man.

I think that my next mod will be somewhere in the neighborhood of suspension. (Probably purchasing some kind of springs and shocks, strut bars, and such.) But I'm not going to actually lower it until I go through inspection, which is around the beginning of May. I just need to start shopping around, and to save up. I also need to find the center caps for the wheels.

oh you bastard. all you have to do is:

1) buy your set up. wiether it be just some lowering springs or springs and struts. install it and enjoy.

then:

2)when inspection time comes around, go to the junk yard and buy the stock suspension off of a cb7 there. install, pass your inspection, then re-install your aftermarket suspension. and thats all you have to do.

when i was living in MD, a few shops had recommended i do that b/c i didnt want to put my suspension back to stock.

it may sound like a lot of work but its not. installing the stock suspension shouldnt take you no more than like an hour or 2

Ehh.. too much work, lol.

Seriously, though, there is a purpose to why I am waiting.

1. I need to shop around and figure out whats good and whats not, because if I'm going to do it, I'm gonna do it right.

2. I really have to start saving money. I also need to buy new tires for the wheels that I got on now.

3. I'm gonna put the factory wheels back on as soon as it starts to get cold, so there's really no reason to lower it with them on.

and 4. Knowing me, if I did lower it now, it will snow alot this winter, and I'll be screwed

Thats how I see it.

[Shadow1]

well at least you got a good head on your shoulders. lol. didnt think about it that way. oh well. lol.

i GUESS you can keep your suspension stock for right now. lol

[JPsAccordSE]

Trust me, as soon as spring rolls around, theres gonna be a big update on here saying 'Yay, I lowered my car, finally'.

Its really gonna be cool.

[JPsAccordSE]

Well, I found out something when I was in my automotive class... I was checking the wheel bearings, and I got to the rear passenger wheel, and it took alot of effort to spin the wheel. I took the wheel off, and the caliper was stuck shut. I managed to push the piston back in, which was good. I think I might be putting on new pads, calipers, and rotors on the back wheels on Monday. Woo-hoo.

[prNonVtec4u]

setbacks ha... damn i hate 'em but hey, improvements are ALWAYS good, planned or unplanned

[JPsAccordSE]

Yea... especially since I'll have a lift to work on, now. I will also have the brake instructor helping me, too, so I think it will go pretty good.

Maybe I should paint the calipers red, while I'm at it.

A little update.

Got the grille back on.


Better pic of the heart.
