Love this Accord. Love it!

Here's a shot from today, I met with Imageless (: By far my favourite CM6 so far.



Rest will be done tomorrow.

Was driving my moms accord today and noticed some weird noise while driving. I popped the hood and it seemed like the belt that is right next to the engine cover/block on the left was making some whining noise??

Not exactly sure what was wrong, it looked fine, but i wouldnt know what to look for anyway.

The top pulley (the one nearest the intake manifold) is the power steering pump. Its possible the noise was just the belt loosing grip, or it may be the bearings in the pump going out if the noise is persistent.

The company is called Freeman Products Inc.

we produce and sell our own drywall finishing products and tools.
my branch in Baton Rouge is just a satellite store. we dont actually have a plant here.

i started out a few years ago driving a delivery truck and with a stroke of luck i ended up getting moved into the branch manager position very quickly.

so this is why i am on Azine a lot more these days.... im fortunate enough to have the time and space to mess with it here at the shop/warehouse.

we are messing with my co-worker's truck (fuel tank) today.

That's awesome! I was wondering what type of business it was since I know you install stuff there. That's great to be promoted to a manager at such a young age. Good for you!

^ Good choice. I went 15% on my MS6 but only because it's a sedan so I have more glass letting in more light. With the Accord coupe's small rear windows 20% will look just as dark as mine if not darker.

I like limo for looks or on a car you don't drive at night lol, I got 15 on mine don't really have a problem with it, luckily cops don't bug people about tint here unless its on a pos. Can't wait to see it with tint it makes them look a lot cooler lol, and keeps mine cooler.

my decision was based on my previous Prelude having 5% on the rear and small side windows.. I couldnt see shit out of them.

and as much work as I'm putting into the exterior, I don't need additional attention for my tint.

20% is dark but not impossible to see through, which works for me, and is enough keep police at bay. pics tomorrow afternoon.

Looks great man!

OEM visors FTW! I would always focus on Weathertech's rounded edges and it used to bother the hell out of me. Glad you went OEM

reason for no 35% was I had it on my first car.. and it did nothing for heat or light.

I probably could have shot for 25.. but 35 doesn't work around these parts. lol

Yeah I've heard VA is worse about it than NC. The meter can't read anything below 32.0%. Mine is dead on.

VAs meter can read down to 18%. I have no intentions of testing it further, but thats what I got in my Prelude twice.
