You are right, I got that reversed. Not worth doing 70% you won't even notice.

Yea, brutal how tint is not allowed, i like it sometimes on some cars, but if you are trying to make the accord look luxury, id have to have darker tint then 70%

Try plasti-dipping the stock grille.. I will be doing mine next weekend. I've seen others do it and I think it is better looking than an aftermarket grille. The base of the grille is already black, just need to get rid of the chrome accents. Plasti-dip is perfect and costs $6.50 at Home Depot! An aftermarket grill will run $100+

Just plasti dipped mine this past weekend, also the honda emblem in the back as well as the accord emblem. Looks pretty good. Whole project costed about $20 bucks.

also....i see a couple of new yorkers from here..im from the bronx, but moved up to MA..

quick question for you new yorkers, i just threw in some LED blinkers on my white accord, is that legal? My parents still live in the city and im down there once every 6 months or so..

Nice cjohn. Yea it def looks good. I was a little unhappy with the "textured" look that it leaves but unless you are right on top of it you can't even notice.. Can't wait to hit my door trim!
