Projectors, Rear lip,window visors :thumbsup:

So i finished up some projects Friday and decided to take some pictures today. Everything will be coming off soon and the projectors will be redone along with the high beams.I'm no photographer so the pics aren't the best.






The pictures really don't do the car any justice. I need to find a better photographer.

They are valeo projectors the lip is for a 94-97 accord i forget the name.Im not sure what you mean by full retro. I did not use a shroud because i got alittle over excited and didnt want to wait another week or more for them to come. When i redo them over the winter they will be done with shrouds.

It's best not to rush projects.

Looks pretty good though. Did the lip need any modification done to it?

The rear lip bolted right up fine. And as for the projectors i have a set of headlights im putting on for the winter. So over that time they will be done again and with a few more surprises.

Dude, I'm in love with those acura caliper stickers.. Secondly.. The rear lip looks cool.. It goes nicely with your front lip.. I'm impressed.. How much did it run you including shipping? I personally would have to get a WW rear lip because it flows nicely with the front lip..

Projectors look good too.. A shroud would really set it off..

A rear spoiler would set it off nicely.. I think you should look into that.. just my

What ballasts and bulbs are you using? Did you get relay harnesses, or make your own?

I like the projectors but the rear lip looks kind of high. It's weird to see the stock exhaust not even be able to fill out the cutout well enough

Yea i mounted it there because i didn't want to have to cut where the exhaust is. You cant even fit a finger on any side of it.

great stuff man...in fact I was JUST thinking how the 94-95 mugen style accord rear lips would look on our cars...you pulled it off nicely

and to those who are wondering whether its urethane or abs, it's abs. And with our cars, ABS is much easier and cheaper to modify for the rear lips since you're gonna have to trim some of the lip in the middle to fit. Then from there it's easy just use some ABS cement to bond the two pieces back together and sand. With urethane it's nearly impossible for you to bond the two pieces together yourself, and shops will charge you out the ass to do it.


could you do me a favor and tell me how much lower the rear mugen lip sits than the stock lip? Thanks

dude I wish I knew that you needed a pair of those shrouds I just sold a pair for 80 shipped REAL OEM

I would be aware of replicas. they are not always good replicas.

I have more parts if you need some, I have one shroud left of the real deal e46 xenon trim. but I also have other trims too, I can also cut things out of other housings. email me and I can let you know what I have joseph.j.giguere@erac.com

klepto and 97BlackAckCL can vouch for me I am the one of the founders of projector mods to the CL with VXCL (he got me into it and I continue to sell parts)

it looks like you have a valeo projector right? am I mistaken, from your first picture I can see almost a top and bottom shield, I have a pair just like that which is D1S, did you do D1S or d2s? hit me up I can give you some tips to get more color and make it look more OEM
