I will sell my Prelude(cry), today I was in my garage with a possible buyer. I saw my Mugen Oilcap on the Prelude, and it fits the Accord, or TSX, too!
Here we are

you definitely know your photo 101. Those shots are great. Car is great too! Keep up the good work.
Maybe paint match the background of the front "H" emblem? Doing so may make it "pop" a little more... just a thought...

love the black on white. I think you should try some tail light tint. Very cheap, and easy to apply. You apply the same way you applied the carbon vinyl. If you dont like it, you can easily peel it off. It costs like 6 dollars for a 24 inch piece of the film.

I´m a Honda driver for over 20 years, 5 different cars and only 3 times at the dealer for repairs (1x alternator, 2x engine starter ). No german car has nearly that quality of a honda. I drive in my business a benz cdi 220 this days. I´m happy when I can sit in my Honda again.LOL
And in Germany you pay about 5000-10000€ more for a BMW, Audi or Benz if you want the same equipment as you get when you buy a Honda. You have to pay extra for every piece of sh..! The Base Modells of german cars are mor expensive than a full equiped Honda! But even if they where the same price I would prefer a Honda. My friends that means they have to drive a german car are much more at the dealer to fix some parts than me!!! LOL

We can change our rear lights.LOL I like more your Version with both sides white instead one red and one white. The problem is that we need a rear foglight in Germany. I´m searching for a separate foglight which looks good and has a form that I can fix somewhere on my rearbumper. If I find something that will look good on my car I want to buy a US rearlight without fog light! Maybe we can make a deal then?

Today i vinyled my rear lights with black vinyl. I think its 10%, but Im not sure. Its DARK! But the lights (brakelight, Turnsignal) you see better than without vinyl. I think because of the contrast with the black and red. If I dont get any probs the next few months with the police, because it is illegal in Germany, I will paint my rearlights, because painted looks much better. I saw some painted ones and they look awesome.
Here are some pics, you see the lights are brighter, better to see, both sides are the same bulbs. Left is vinyled, right is stock
Turnsignal and Lights on

Both sides vinyled. You can see the difference of how the vinyl looks in the sun and in the shadow on this photo

My 06 Volvo S40 had rear fog light standard and was controlled by a switch on the dash IIRC. It was only brighter on one side of the car and I read that this was normal.
Quote from some message board:
There should only be one light, and it should burn brighter than your tail
lights. This is so that there is not confusion with your tail/brake lights.
The rear fog light is really there so that people behind you can see that
there is something in front of them from a greater distance away.

Today I changed my footwell lights from the red LEDs thats in our TypeS ( it was so little red that really NOBODY recognized It ) into blue LEDs. The LEDs are 3mm and you have to (not sure if its the right word, I googled it, haha ) braze or solder it.
I drilled a 9,5mm hole in the plastik cover, and now its ok. Nice blue shine, but not to bright. It matches perfect my blue LEDs in the doors

First thanks to all!
Then I have few new mods done on my car.
1. Plasma Foglamps H11. Left one is stock, right is new. I have a vinyl on my foglights, but its still shining white.
2. Parksensors in the rear bumper. Sprayed in PWP
3. SMD in the Reflector. Took me a year to do this. I was so jealouse at my azine bros, because you dont have a rearfoglight as we got in Germany.
Now I got the reflectors as foglight and out of the stockfoglight I cut the red reflector out and have a second white light when I put in the reverse.
Cut the reflectors
put the led stripe in
Glue together
Almost the same procedure to the stock fearfoglight and here is the result.
I have to thank a lot my german Forum member Berik for helping me in all the wiring, because Iam not a big Electrician.LOL
He has a CBP TSX and bought a wingspoiler on Ebay, he painted it already, but he havent mounted it yet. So I put it on my trunk.
So what you think of that?

Have my Wintertires on today. They are V6 or in Euro the TypeS wheels in 8x18 offset 55. I have them Powder Coating in dark grey, the colourcode is db703. Glad I did not painted them, the coating looks great!
I translated with Google the meaning of Powder coating for you, I cant explain it on my own
The electrostatic powder coating
In electrostatic Powder coating is the Electrically charged powder. this done by the Coating gun contained Electrode. Grounding the Workpiece produces a electric field that the Powder particles to the workpiece leads. By thermal
Treatment in an oven at about 160-200 ° C, joins the powder to a closed ink film.

Yesterday I installed my ThrottleBodySpacer. Like it very much. Better response. With my K&N airfilter and SprintBooster I feel like 20 more hp. LOL (serious it must be about 5hp)
Waiting to install my Downpipe but have no time the next weeks
Thanx to Mark at Throwdown. But next time PLEASE PLEASE do that invoice outside of the package. I have to take my downpipe like the TBS months ago at the german customs, it takes me everytime hours to get my items I bought from you. With the invoice outside they can open the invoice and check what I have bought, then they deliver it to my home!
I wish all my american Acurazine friends a happy new year!!!
