[HikaruAccord]

Looking good, where did you get your kit? OEM garnish or aftermarket?

 

[MyVtecRoars]

i bought it off an ebay seller, and i believe its oem because it has the HONDA logo on it

do you have picture on the back of the garnish?

 

[Honda247]

Looks really goood.....:thmsup::yes:

You might wanna readjust the reflector on driver side. From the last picture, the reflector is popoing out right below the "stanley" area, maybe I should say the garnish is falling in and not lined up with the reflector, you might wanna stuff it up at the bottom.

^yeah.. there is a bit of a gap there. looks good overall, im on the fence about getting this mod done or not.. lot of site members seem to be getting this, but no one in my area.. so thats a plus!

 

[MSchu]

[Pirate]

We're working backwards from each other LOL
My "Stephen83" JDM replica lip. I gotta take better pics, a reflection makes it look higher on the far corner. Hey did the Ebay seller send you that already painted? Ad I last saw says you get a black or gray, no choice.

 

[goldv6]

conversion looks good

No i don't, but i believe inspire08 posted a picture of the back of the garnish with the HONDA >ABS< logo printed on the back of it on the $395 inspire kit shipped thread.

alright thanks for that, so would i have to stuff something on the bottom of the garnish? or under the reflector?

You should get it! changes the whole rear end of the accord, looks way better if you have a decklid spoiler installed already, or the JDM replica spoiler from Stephen83 :]

Haha,
nice lip spoiler! now you should get me one for christmas :thumbsup:
haha, yeah the garnish was already painted, but not in USDM color matched, you have to have it repainted. Now its your turn to get your inspire kit, and we can all meet up in fresno one day :banana:

 

[nghanzo]

Alright! Another Inspire lower trunk in SoCal. That's 3 so far (Fish Hunter, you and me) Looking good there bro.:thmsup:

JDM decklid spoiler will finish off that rear end. Let me know when you're ready for it.

You got it installed?! My first real customer :banana:It looks real good. Could you post up what your impressions are and take a few more pics from different angles and post it up on my thread in "The Sponsor's Corner?" I'd appreciate it! Now when you get your Inspire lower trunk, it'll be the 4th Inspire conversion. We gotta have another SoCal meet.

I posted that picture, like I said if there is no part number, manufacturing date then it's replica, a mold from a mold.

This will explain why it doesn't fit right, I didn't do anything on mine and it fits perfectly. The reflector shall sits about 1mm deeper all the way from one end to the other end.

Anyway, it's a nice conversion.

 

[MyVtecRoars]

the reason why it has a gap on the right reflector from the driver side is because the maaco guys didn't align the garnish correctly, if you look at it in person the right side is higher then the left. I'm going to go back to them and have it fixed.

All i need to do now is find some light bulbs and wires, having trouble doing that..

I've found out why the right reflector doesn't look right, its because they added a spacer above the reflector which was suppose to sit in more into the trunk, but its right above the reflector, and that caused the reflector to like settle lower then how its suppose to be, and if you look at the bottom of the reflector in person, its sticking out, they didn't do a really good job installing it..

 

[inspire08]

Very nice. Im jealous, still waiting for mine. Did yours came wit the harness and foam?

 

[3000gt-gto]

I believe the reason is they didn't cut the template correctly on the chasis, thats why the lights are not flush. Definately not the Garnish itself, if you cut the hole properly the light will be flush with the garnish.

now you need an exhaust tip

I don't think so. There is already an existing bolt hole as yellow dot shows. The reflector is sticking correctly.

The problem is the garnish does not sticking out at the edge where it supposes to be like the other side.

I guess the only way to prove you wrong is MyVtecRoars corrects his installation problem. And this is the template I was talking about
