Andrew's Mod Thread....

[chuangandrew]

So I can't resist... I decide to keep track of all my mods this way instead of individually posting them up.... it's only meant as constructive purposes... (no hating please!)

so I got my 2009 Sedan in April 2009, and I've added too many things to put them in signatures....

but first... a tribute to my old ride... a pass down from a sibling....
the 1999 Toyota Corolla

9006 6000k HID kit.....
at first i didn't know you have to go through the wheel fenders.... so it took me a while... but voila~



since I've done a retro to my headlights, this post is not really relevent...
so... I added a pic from another hobby of mine....



So this is what I was doing before starting my car mods... just thought I throw in another hobby of mine to share... the DIY for this model kit is also included in the older posts....

I added bunch of LEDs for interior lights.... (no pics taken yet)...

Door courtesy lights, dome lights, vanity mirror lights, glove compartment and license plate lights... various sources from VLED, JDMtoys and ebay sellers...



then I installed the ambient light kit that was on sale (50% of original price) and slapped on some new pedals...

[chuangandrew]

im sorry, but there are only a few people on the board that need a build thread, and they are HEAVILY modified, and not with little add-ons that cost less than $100.

[chuangandrew]

got the chrome handles and inserts from ebay...

[07AccordEx-L]

^+1 to that...I was expecting to see retrofit, wheels, drop, etc...

[mystick6]

[Indubitably]

[mystick6]

I just posted mine. LOL.

[chuangandrew]

A lot of ppl were wondering about G37 wheels on sedans... so this is the alternative to those who cannot afford them....




picked these guys up at South Bend, IN @ tirerack
my stock rims are now being used for winter set up

YES!

[chuangandrew]

got an OEM style fog light kit....
not too many I4 sedan owners actually got these, so this is for those who are considering....

any instructions that collegehill honda tells you to do is quite helpful... but i'd recommend using a dremel instead of a handsaw... and use an even smaller drill bit to make your pilot/finishing holes that just fit the screws the kit provided...

and FYI, i painted the fogs to match the car





havn't installed the H11 6000k HID in them... using the ballast for my projector retrofit.... (hence the "big" mod)
