hells yeah loxllxol! :thumbup: One of my favorite accords, its a tie between you and jschmid. So you just bought yellow tint spray and that is how you did it! Ahhhh, that isn't too difficult. How long did it take to dry once you sprayed the high beam?

It usually takes about an hour for paint to dry. You dont wanna spray it then drive around and have dust stuck on the lens.

The only thing is, you have to spray LOTS of coats. The yellow tint is really light at first, so you might even need to buy two bottles to make it a deep yellow.

The car stereo guy here lookin' at it says it looks like ****in' ass...

"Good choice on the deck, but for a two thousand dollar screen I can see the frickin' cage and a gap underneath. MB Quarts.. awesome speakers, why are they in Q Forms? JL Amps... good choice... No cap. W6s... awesome speakers... but they look like they're in a prefab box... C'mon, people. If somebody is gonna take pride in their car make it an all around effort. Nothin' pisses me off more than seeing great equipment in the shittiest ****in' installs ever. Wherever you got that done, I would take it back and get your money back. But the rest of the car looks nice!"

I do all the installs myself...everything from the suspension, engine mods, and audio. So gimme some credit, I dont just drop it off at a shop and let other people do the dirty work.

I still need to clean up the car a bit especially the gap under the HU..just trying to figure out what to fill it with w/o any fiberglass or bondo.

Plus the fact I'm 19...so money isn't flowin out my butt for custom kicks and a custom trunk.:fawk:

That makes a world of difference. Suggestions to fill in the gap.... foam black tape about a quarter inch wide, usually about a quarter inch high.. put it around the cage after painting the cage black. That should actually fill up a lot of it visually... but it'll still be there; just look a lot better.

The Q-Forms are just a terrible design. You just should have dished out the extra 150 to have custom kicks made. That wouldn't have made much more of a dent in your wallet. You should check out eBay and get the EQ mod for your screen. They're running around fifty bucks. Make a world of difference with the MB Quarts.

Sorry about the bashing... we hate seeing people set up their cars like ass... just taking it down to the most popular car audio shop and having them slap it in.
