Talking So this was last weekend's job..pics.

Being a teacher gives me weekends off to work on my hobby.

here is an 06 conversion on a 03 accord. The lip had to be cut and the fog openings to accomodate the inspire replicas.

All parts are aftermarket except for the emblem.

Yea, by they are yellow and they are faded, although the lens can be repainted yellow and the bezels painted black but there is no wiring.

Nice job Brian! I've always enjoyed your work, and I'm quite jealous that you can do all this work right at home.

"Honey, I got a scratch on the car. I hope you are not really mad."

**As he puts on a bunny suit** "No problem hun. I'll just repaint the car."

Great work and video! That booth is a great idea. I have a buddy who is going to be painting his car in his garage, so maybe we could construct something similar around the car to have a better controlled environment.

stayed tuned because I put on like 20 lbs since I bought that suite and it has ripped right in the crotch lol, I have to buy another one but this time it is going to be a little more "cool" looking

Thanks! By no means is the booth hi-tech but it is a hi-tech homemade booth. And I will be damned,t he thing hasn't fallen apart yet, it has been up and down like 100 times. Controlled environment is all it is!

Doesn't need to be hi-tech, as long as it gets the job done. How much do you think you spent on materials to build the booth?

Initally like $250, maintaince over the past year, probably like $100 and that is due to the fact that i redesigned it for better flow.

Wow that's cheap. I'll have to do some pricing myself, but that price is reasonable.
