4th gen wagons are PiMP

At the moment I'm looking at the practicality of molding in Skyline taillights. The flat shape is there, but it'd be a hell of a job. Would look phat though.

In that case I will leave you to your own devices.

You are going to get seriously flamed for your ricer tendencies (just letting ya know)

I have a very talented friend who put supra taillights into the bumper of his S-10..thus my reasoning for considering it. No way I'd do that by myself.

Yep I have seen Supra tails in both an S10 and a Nissan hardbody and it looks good.....your car is not a minitruck though so things that work for a minitruck rarely work for a car and vice versa.

Either way its your car and thankfully I won't have to watch another 4th gen get destroyed in person:happysad:

I fail to see how a 4th gen accord with an H22 engine setup and skyline taillights would not be cool. Still working on creative ideas for the front. Anyone seen any cool fenders? I've found the Z3 and the bullet fenders so far...they're okay. Prolly gonna put dual exhaust ends on it. That limits my kit options further though, as that is also a rare occurance. 99% of accord owners usually just put the big 4 incher on the back and leave it at that.

granted its very rice...but its not cookie cutter, same ol same ol. That is my goal with this project.

Only 23,300 dollars to go until my funding goal is reached.

I am specifically in the hunt for a shell car, one without an engine. The shell should be only a few hundred bucks, and minimal body damage can be worked with. Any butchering will be done to the shell and not a real daily driver. Incorporating potential disaster into your plan has always worked well for me.

A troll? Nice.

I don't see what you're getting at here with the obliviousness thing.

I have found several honda's with kaput engines being sold in the paper and even on autotrader. It will be another year or so before I have the money to do what I wanna do. All I have to do is wait for the right car's engine and/or tranny 2 die. Then it's on.

Well you talk about not wanting to be rice and yet every part you have mentioned has been a ricer part or mod.

Enjoy I am done with this thread since you are beyond help and it is pointless to even type out this response.

The H22 wouldn't be bad, but the tails are not neccessary. Our 4th gen tails look fine. At most, go for some red/clears.

Z3 fenders = :barf:. Dual exhaust on a 4 banger is just plain old stupid. It has NO use what-so-ever. And you obviously haven't done much thorough searching on the net for kits yet. There are plenty of dual opening kits out there for the 4th gen.

99% of Accord owners obviously means all 3 riced out Accords you've ever seen. Most Accord owners (soccer moms and people who don't mod their cars) don't do a single thing to the car. People like most of the people on this board DO NOT just rice their car and call it good. If you look around, you'll see alot of clean cars and people who actually care about the full spectrum of their car's performance...not just the muffler. Your car sounds like it'll be like most of the cars I see around my tiny town. Stupid tails, gaudy kit, useless exhaust, and essentially a waste of space. You say you're going to spend over 23,000 dollars on your car. Hey! Here's an idea! Go buy a car with an H22 swap already done and the exterior already riced out! It sounds like you don't want to do the work yourself and it'd save you alot of money to just buy the car with all of that already done.
