Hey all,

It's been awhile since I posted pics, actually, I think I left y'all hanging since the last time I worked on my car. The reason for that was I damaged the hood right after I painted that sucker.

Below are pics of the middle piece I said I was going to construct. All I need now is to fine sand it and paint it. As always let me know your comments. They aren't the best pics and it definitely doesn't do the car justice, but consider it a sneak peak.

Also, are the pics of my Accord headlight conversion with custom Audi HID Projectors installed.

And with no further delays....








BTW, this was the pic of my car before my little mishap and without the constructed middle lip. I think you all can recall this car.



Peace,
James

 

As always, your work is kickass. The only thing I would say that I saw was a little off was the inside corner of the headlights near the grille. The edge doesn't match up to that edge of the bumper (at least in the pic).

Regardless, after the wreck your car was in, that's one kickass body job

 

it looks sick man

how long did it take you to do it? weeks? days? and what did you use to make your mold

 

well done...you pulled it off real good...but i would not paint the under grille the same as your car....looks kinda weird....but if you like it then be my guest...we all have different taste...just my opinion.....but clean car man.

 

get is all white and add the pearl again man, the blue pearl always looked nice and you got to take more pics of how your doing this

BTW how did you learn how to do this shit? i want to learn so i can fix my side skirts

 

loocks sick dude....good job

 

wow










ambers OWN

 

that looks pretty cool with the accord lights...

 

different, but definatly interesting and kick ass

 

the middle lip is cool maybe take a little off of the point in the center.

 

whered u get the m3 side skirts? im lokoin for some

 

stockcl? I will sell you mine for 200, they cost me 250+ shipping. I never used them or put them on nothing wrong, I'll get you pics if you interested

 

roddymerritt yeah send me some pics to dailydrivensol@hotmail.com and ill let u knoe im kinda short on money rite now

 

its looks.....ok. All that work and it looks like an accord tho. Why not just buy an accord? Why not retrofit the projectors into the CL headlamps Just my

 

AthlonXP where have u been! You still down in miami we gotz to chill.

I advise you guys his audi projector looks soooo sick in person omg i almost broke my neck they make my hid's look like trash. I was drooling for like 10 minutes when he was driving behind me.

 

Looking good man, looks similar to the wings west front lip. The headlights look ok, being that your old one's were fucked, and you got those for a deal. What's your plans for the rear lip?

 

stock cl give me a day or two and I'll get you some pics

 

Hey all again,

Boy, those were alot of replies. Thanks for all of them.



EPS Sniper: Thanks for the comments and yeah you are right. However, it's because my bumper is sagging from high speeds, I have to remount it higher.

97Acura3.0CL: It took me about 3 days. Believe it or not it wasn't too difficult as I already had the two previous pieces. It was just a matter of molding that third piece to the other two. It was again a free mold just had a high wattage blow dryer handy for quick forming of the fiberglass resin.

And yeah it's all white with blue pearl again!! I was gonna go with a different color pearl but couldn't make up my mind. In the end I just said the heck with it and went with my frost blue.

krazy99cl: Don't worry bro we share the same taste. I'm gonna black it out and put an undergrille on.

liloj: Thanks bro, this is to all my Hawaiian peeps out there!!! Boy, how I friggin miss that place. BTW which island you on? I grew up there on Oahu in Mililani, then we moved out to Kahalu'u where we started an agricultural business, but as time moved on we set out here in Miami. Guess it was better for business. I moved to FL in '96, let me know if lots have changed!! Thanks.

white 3.0: Yep, I had clears on once but it didn't look too good. VXCL was my inspiration on that part.

99CL: Well, it was a cheaper alternative than the CL headlights so I went ahead and did it. It's a little different, but I still love the CL headlights. The accord headlights were $100 for the pair brand new, couldn't pass that up.

Klepto: Hey bro, your ride's not that bad either. Lovin' the rims. Tight work!!

Roddymerritt: It's a little too late for that! The fiberglass had already set, sanding away at it would just have made a big ass hole.

StockCL?: Got them off ebay for like $90 with shipping. I can't imagine paying more for them like others. I guess I bought it awhile back before the demand for them rose.

ding069: Again bro, I was thinking economical at the time. Don't get me wrong I love the CL headlights but at $400 I would just stick with my $100 as the work was done by myself so that seems logical enough.

rodxx: Yeah bro, I'm back down in Miami now. My cuz got laid off so picking up the bill for the apartment wasn't working. BTW, you wasn't affected by the hurricane did you? Yeah bro, I'm up to chill anytime, let me know. Maybe get a little mini-meet together. Damn bro, you want projectors that bad....let me know I'll hook you up.

bakat: Thanks bro, yeah it does doesn't it. Well, tried to keep that classy look you know don't wanna rice it all out!!! Hey no prob on the headlights, I agree with y'all but whatever, no going back. And for the rear lip...none. Well, maybe. Gonna go nos or even turbo in the near future so rear drag is something I don't need. Downforce in the front is something I could use though.



And here are the updated pics. Again they are night pics so it doesn't really do the ride justice. The hood I couldn't get perfect, as you can see the ears are still a bit warped. And I still have one or two more layers of clear coat to put on when I have time so then I can wet sand and buff it for that smooth/slick, look and feel.










And on the next post I'll put up pics of the final product.


Laters,
James

 

Looks really good what lip did you use again

 

Wow, that looks great! Can't wait to see what it looks like completed.

 

all custom

 

Personally, I do not like the Accord head lights because the car now looks like an Accord. I like the CL's head light because it flows with the car and that is what makes the CL look good. Although, you get two thumbs up for the creativity. Good luck with your car

 

Damn, made myself look like a dumbass. Yo Liloj got you confused with lnsyone. I know there were a couple more hawaiian peeps out there, let me know where you at.

Now you can tell I haven't been on here in a while.

Sorry for the confusion.

-James

 

Yep all CUSTOM!!

Damn bro, you seem to be the only one who can recall things!!! Thanks!

-James

 

heh..no prob man..simple mistake..its a sign you need to spend more time here :P..car is looking good though

 

have another green bar for ya

 

Coming from a Chick's point of view I have to really value that!! Thank You!







Hey Liloj,
Thanks for the bar "thingy" don't really know what it's supposed to mean, and doesn't mean I'm disregarding it either. Again Thanks.

 

looka extremely nice!!

 

 

dope looks mad clean bro! mad props to u kuz i know how hard it is to make a custom lip lol...its been 4 months and im still not done with mine!

 

It looks like an Accord. I am not denying that you did a good job, It's just that CL headlights look good on our cars Accord headlights are too squared.

I love the way the lip looks but I just think that you should of worked on your stock CL headlights. Props for your work!
