Noice!

Time to color match the mudguards and black out the chrome trim on the windows.

Theres a special automotive chrome trip blackout tape you can find at most auto stores. Would be way easier than plastidip. I did it on an old Maxima, came out great on my first try (and I was drunk during the install...). It's basically special outdoor grade electrical tape. If you dont like it just peel er off

Link or pics of the 8th?




he had to take out the turn signals, put amber leds in the lenses to try to make a signal, definietly not bright enough to be legal. No output shots and i think he already took them apart cause theyre up for sale on hidplanet

yea im really excited to see them on the accord, but afraid of how much cutting behind the headlight might be necessary

handling is drastically improved, just need to pay a shop to wrestle the rear camber/toe kit in cause the bolts are rusted into the bushings and not coming free
