I've been working on this stuff for a long time on n off since my license been suspended for past 6 months. I'm getting it back in exactly 1 week from today I'm pretty excited to get the car back on the road and especially to use the new toys:D. I don't have a picture of the trunk to show my sub yet but i hope you guys like these. Enjoy!:)

It appears that there is no protection from stones and road debris for your grille area and below.

07graphiteV6cpe : the grilles are taken off because im getting my bumpers repainted last time i got em done the guy painted with the bumpers right on the car n just masked off so this time i did his job for him n makin him repaint for free cuz the paint is all cracked up which is why i have no grilles.

Aceman196 : yes i know it is pretty scratched up but majority of those scratches will get covered up by the trim that im putting in so no biggie. This is my 1st time im ever doin a DIY so big involving so much tearin stuff out so its bound to happen...too bad it was on a $50000 car but what can you do. Right now the fogs look like they too bright cuz 1) my camera was pointed right at them and 2) my headlights are still stock but when i do my projector retrofit itll balance out. no clue when thats gonna come
 
Love the fogs man!! I want something like that, where you live??? I should go jack yours!!! hahaha... I have the same exact same tafetta white color as well and the fog/car color combo looks fantastic! Just get your interior cleaned up a bit!
 
Good luck w/ the LED reverse bulbs. Sure they are bright when you look @ them but the experience I have had you can't see anything behind you when in the car...

Where is your grille and lower piece? You need atleast a grill shell to complete the look IMO
 
If I just had my license suspended, I would consider driving an inconspicuous
(no mods) vehicle that would not attract law enforcement for any type local/state code violations. Be careful.
I definitely agree. And the fogs are good, but I think you only should have blacked out the headlight housing itself, not the turn signal too. Actually, if I had that money, I'd just invest in projectors.

He said he gets his license back in 1 week, and that's when he'll be back on the road. Apparently he's doing these mods while he cannot drive.

Jas s20, what do you mean by $50,000 car? Your honda accord...?
 
Love the headlights, for some reason they make me think of the last gen prelude, not sure why. Some nice mods there, just be carefull and make sure your car doesn't end up garage bound for another 6 months. =)

cnisenbaum: id rather not risk gettin pulled over n endin up in jail or with an even bigger suspension so i just play it safe:)

Accord4dahuneys: thanks man im in vancouver haha. the interior picture is old i havent taken a recent pic yet cuz i dont have the actual trim that i want to put in yet i just ordered it yesterday should be here soon ill post an updated pic when i get that

CivicFreak03: i didnt get the bulbs for functionality i got them for looks. i have a backup camera which works amazing in the dark even to see behind me :) the front grilles are taken off right now as i posted above because im getting my bumpers repainted my bumper is just sittin in place in the pics its not actually screwed in

dominicstl: i agree with not blacking out the turn signal but i was just too lazy to mask it off it looks fine IMO so its ok and the projectors as you can see in my signature i plan on putting projectors in the future when i have money

BlueBlahBleh: yes my accord im talking about...canadian not US. and yes i have been working on my car while my license has been suspended

MatmanVT:thanks man haha yes the plan is to keep it on the road!
 
Fogs look great. Headlights look craptastic. You really need to take better care of the interior. Is that a touch screen, or a smear screen, LOL.

BLCKFLSH: like the title says its not 100% done which is why thers so many fingerprints on the screen....the interior is scratched i know majority of it is going to be covered up again but the stuff that isnt im going to take care of im just waitin on parts.

i just have the grilles taken off right now bumpers are going for repainting. Im actually looking for a grill that looks like that but actually has something there as well. the foglights are inspire replicas

..?
I understood he isn't driving now--but when he starts driving again, and if he stopped for any reason, the police will check his driving record and, trust me, he will not be given the benefit of the doubt because of his history i.e. recent suspension. Just some advice based on the practicalities of life.
