Noobie- Finally got a chance to upload some pics...(i hope im doing this right...lol) She has 117k and still pushing strong!... I know she needs a drop and i have a long list of mods, but its not in my budget just yet...lol

 

Very nice start! Painting my stockies was one of the first mods I did. Are those HID's in the fogs or just the Nokyas?

 

Yea man i had some curb rash that was bothering me so i had to do somethin...lol HID's for the fogs, i just didnt like the two tone look with the stock w/hids so i replaced all the bulbs to match as close as possible, 6k super brights.... because the "fog" hids are so strong, i can literally see across a median at night...lol

 

LOL haha I know what you mean. You should do the foglight mod, so youre fogs can be used as DRL. I just did it except I have Nokya 3000k bulbs in my fogs. I run with them on all the time, I never noticed the wide spread the fogs have until I used them as DRL's

 

lol gotcha... that was my first thought but i dont know how to switch the fogs over to DRL's... with the 04's its all or nothing unless its high beams...lol how can i do it?...

 

Nice. I want to paint my stockies that color also. I'd work on removing the oxidation on those headlights though. It'd make the car a lot "fresher."

 

DRL module from autobarn.com. Wire it into the wiper line up near the brake fluid reservoir and mount it in the battery tray. Replace the HID fogs with the Nokya bulbs---HIDs don't like to run at 75% power.
I run the Nokya Yellows like AMUA6 and I love them. The Accord fogs in the lower grille with 5000K HIDs balance everything out nicely.

 

nice start work hard for that drop cause it makes a world of difference.

 

IMO, the fogs = gross!

 

I agree

 

 

you can start with a mod that doesn't cost anything by debadging lol

Just not my cup of tea.

I also agree on removing the oxidation/haze from your headlights.
My headlights were as bad as yours when I bought the car.
First thing I did was go out and buy 1500+2000 grit sandpaper and Meguiar's Headlight Restoration Kit.

It really does improve the overall look of the car.

Furious, have you considered an Aspec Kit?

 

lol Thanks for all the tips fellas!... Yea the fogs are HID's and im pretty sure ill switch them out so they can be DRL's... Thanks for the DIY guide... As for fogs, im not a fog guy anymore, all you guys have them!...lol So im putting together an LED strip/bar (fog)to fit along the mesh panels in the bumper... i have a lil connect with CinCity Designs so we'll see what happens...lol

I buff out my headlights from time to time but ill take some sand paper to them...lol Also, most of the oxidation is on the inside... what can i do about that?

Yes the drop is a must, but im picky on the feel,so im not sure whether to get springs or coilovers... im an "aggressive" driver which means i love my corners and pushin on the staights...lol what's best for that???...(Im more for performance over looks) Also, im looking to either pick some Type-S' or some 18's so im just waiting till i need to replace my tires to figure out what im goin to do about the drop... i just want it to sit about a inch to a half inch above the tires...

Yes the A-spec kit is coming, that ive been pushing off for too long now...lol ill be picking it up in August... But ill be getting the Type-S A-Spec rear for future exhaust...

As for the "grandma door guards"...lol its kind of a must, i work in the mall so i have 1 too many lil dings and scratches due to "non drivers" and big ass coach bags with huge buckles!...lol They due their job...lol

yea the badges are comin off!...lol ive been holding it off too...lol

 

Making some good progress on the ride. Is that an E28 in the garage? Im in the process of rebuilding one. Love that body style.

 

Nice!

 

Thanks man, for now just im getting all my ducks in row before i start setting her apart from the rest...lol

And yes its an E28... 5sp, with 220k... She's just sittin pretty due to a failed fuel pump that went out 2 weeks ago... Its so much fun to drive, ive been wanting to test it against the TL to see what happens...lol

 

Car is terrible...........see ya at work tomorrow lol.

 

No you wont!... You're FIRED!!!...lol Catch you on i-4 west bound sucka!

Takes maybe 30 min if you're mechanically inclined PM me with any questions, I've done it a bajillion times.

 

PERFECTION AT IT'S BEST!!!... Thanks ill get to it on my day off!

 

Hey man now that I think of it, I'll be in Tampa July 3-10. Maybe we can get together sometime in that time period?

 

I gotta see i work full time retail... But hol' up!...lol you live Ocoee!?... Apopka?...

 

congrats

 

Congrats on your new car

 

Thanks man, not exactly new, had it for almost a year now... i just finally joined the zine...lol

 

bump

 

rims look great! spoiler looks good as well, id like to get one for my 08 tl. i like it better than the lip.

 

reminds me of my car when I painted my stockies. I got rid of 'em quick though, that color just wasn't dark enough IMO. But nice none the less . Make sure you get those headlights cleaned, it makes a world of difference.

 

nice color on the stockies...drop that and you will be good.. looking good

 

Oh yeah I'd definitely go ahead and buy shocks/springs. With 117k on the car, you'll be buying shocks before you know it if you put lowering springs on the stock shocks

 

agreed...

 

let the modding begin dont look at this site too much or you will always find new mods... thats what i did

 

nice bump!

lol any updates?

 

Nice start man! Is that an e30 in the garage?

 

I doubt it

 

 

hahahaha!!!!
