Default a few noobish 5th gen accord questions

Currently im working on selling my civic and getting a 94 accord. So naturally im wondering a few things.

1. Is there a how to on how to paint the headlight housings black, and how to clear the amber out of the tails, ive seen a couple around the net with this done but im not sure on how to do it.

2. Are there holes behind the "accord" and "ex" emblems on the trunk? If not id like to remove them

3. What is a good shock / spring combo that isnt too much $$$

Thats about it for now if i think of anything else ill ask.

There's a search button here thats pretty useful but I'll answer your Q anyways..

1)Good website on how-to's:http://www.andrews.edu/~johnsonm/how...ckhousing.html

2) There is no hole behind the "accord" or "ex,lx,dx" emblems, but there is behind the "H." Use dental floss or fishing line and slowly pry it underneath untill its loose and take it off, then clean with goo gone.

3) Neuspeed/H&R/Eibach sport/sportline/pro kit with KYB AGX/Tokico struts..
