Ok i know this might be in the wrong forum section. But this is where i spoke about it before and people requested pics from here.

I did all the Body work myself. THis is the first time i have done anything like this. Yes its an Accord. I know some of you will flame me but I dont care. I worked very hard day and night to get my car to look like this and I take pride in this car very much. Knowing that I done all my own work. I did not paint it though. I primed it, painted the engine bay, under the hood and the trunk. But I did help paint it by laying out the design of the black stripe.

Let me know what you all think. Please be kind.

Nissan parts on a Honda??!?!!?! Blasphemy!

J/K

That looks pretty good for all the work you put into it. I don't like the taillights much, but that's just me.

3 or 4 months id have to check because I started the Interior in Feb and then a couple of months after that i got the parts for the body. Then i started the body and put the interior on hold.

looks really nice.... those s15 headlights go well with the front end.... took me a second to figure out the difference.... the rear end tho is way too big... i would put a rear diffuser to make the rear end not look so flat... but thats just me.... overall its awesome... which is coming from a guy that really dislikes hondas

did you remove any molding/weatherstripping before you painted? if so did you replace the originals or did you buy them new?

Hey there, thats not exactly my cup of tea as far as styling, but it looks like a great job. I don't live too far from you, so any time you want to do some prep work for me, feel free. Great job man!

I respect your opinion about nissan parts. But I love the headlights and you got to admit they look like they belong on the car. Its not like I did some crazy headlight conversion that did not flow or go with the car.

Thanks

Wow. The NSX side vents are kind of odd (not a fan of non fnctional vents) and the hood scoop is not my taste. BUT the rest is super cool! I really like the front. Now get a s/c on there!

Looks pretty clean Im not that much of a show car guy but you did good work... You dont actualy use those turn table in the trunk do you? just asking bcause you have them in kinda an akward set up like almost in battle position but the one on the right upside down(tone arm in front). also Are those just PDX 2000's? unless you got those crazy vestax ones they dont look like the needle could even properly track... All that said it does look clean as hell man damn good job for the first time

Doesn't look bad. I not a big fan of mixing nissan and honda. Very good job on the paint and body work. Also the rims look killer.

Solid! this is what I was waiting for! it looks good man! you said you don't like the taillights yourself, yea it is the centerpiece lol but I always liked the nsx tail-lights on the accord. That looks like a real monster! you should hurry up and put some more grunt under the hood lol too bad its not rwd. but a GREAT car nonetheless

I applaud you

That's some quality body work right there. If my car needed work done, I'd definately let you have a wack at it...as long as it doesn't take 4 months

Oh yeah...time for some new wheels. Those Axis rims look sooooo out of place on that car now that you have the wider fenders on the front and rear.
