A couple new mods!!

Well I always say im done modding the car but you all know how that goes lol. A few years ago when I molded the accord fogs my bumper pockets the clear fogs were backordered sop I had to go with yellow ones. I driginally wanted the clear ones with yellow lights for a different look. Well I finally got the clear fogs installed with 3000k HIDs...

Here is a pic of the car with the yellow fogs



now here are the pics of the clear ones installed







Next I added some train horns

Here they are all covered up


Oh I had an extra set of HIDs so I figured what not some reverse HIDs lol
Here is a pic of them installed on the drivers side and the factory one on the passenger side for comparison





now pics of them on at night






oh and here are some pics of the car cover in snow from the last storm we had lat month

I would cry if I owned that car and snow was on it.

I think the fog lights look better that way. That's the way I want my fog lights to look; clear lenses and 3000K HID's.

I wonder how much it would cost me for someone to install fog lights on my car as clean as they did to yours.

lol yea it sucks not having a garage!! Im not sure how much they would charge to install the fogs. It would prob cost maybe around $500 since they have to paint the whole bumper. My buddy did if for pretty much nothing. I think like $125 lol it pays to know ppl thats how I got the car to where it is now by the ppl I know. If I didnt know all the ppl that helprd me out I wouldnt have a car like this!

Have you ever thought about painting your outer grill? Someone should PhotoShop that to get an Idea.

Thanks! What do you mean all the powder coated stuff? If so here are pics









Just so everyone knows I had a bunch of stuff powder coated last year. I had the alternator, strut bar, horn, pulley, radiator brackets and the power steering box bracket powder coated transparent raspberry. Then I had my hood bracket, radiator fan housings, and top of oil dip stick powder coated almost chrome (looks like polished).

Damn your car is gorgeous man! I love the interior

And I like the clear fogs much better than the yellow ones.

Can we get a video of those train horns?

Loving what you did to your ride. Hope you are still modding so you can change up your wheel setup.

Get the valve covers powdercoated and the intake and It'll flow so well with everything under the hood.

Give me a couple months and I will hit you up for a photoshoot. I've been meaning to take a visit up to PA.
