donpisto's '01 Accord Build Log (Alpine, Zapco, TC Sounds)

Oh noes...guess I am a ricer //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif Guess I'm gonna stick with the name, double sad face //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif :(

I did it to match the headlights and being that they have a black background they blend with the car.

 
nice build you got going on so far man! I need to start dedicating some serious cash to deadening instead of buying so many subs.

And I agree, you shoulda kept your stock lights. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
this thread represent how you do things right the first itme and not have to go back and re rig. impressive work so far man

i love everything exept the tail lights, too ricey man //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

 
I kinda like the tail lights in the regard they look similar to Skyline tail lights. They look a bit cleaner and not so bulky/clunky looking like the stockers, imo.

 
I've been getting mixed reviews about the tail lights, which is fine by me. I got them for my own joy not others. If people like them, great, if not, no worries. I have seen some Accords with horrendous aftermarket tail lights...there are some where the lights extend out and look like complete crap. I sorta wish the black portion was more of a dark green, like the color of the car and didn't have some of the chrome, but that's just taking custom to another level.

I got the cold air intake installed today, a pain to get the stock piece out. I had to take out the front bumper and part of the fender. I'll have pictures later. I'll admit, it is a bit more on the ricer side because it's louder once the VTEC kicks in and if I'm accelerating fast, but it sounds nice. Other than that you can't really notice it with normal driving and for $35 bucks hopefully I see a difference with better gas mileage.

I was going to buy an HID conversion kit, but I found out the projector lights I got are not compatible with them. In a way that's good, because it's money I can save and I can get the headlights in already. I was going to wait till I got the HID's. I'll probably install the lights on Friday and my car will FINALLY get a wash after maybe 4 months. I was going to wait till my car was completely finished and get a full blown detail, but I'll stick to a regular wash by myself for the meantime.

 
His car is not rice. It's basmati.
Had to google this one...

"A very slender, long-grain, highly aromatic rice grown in India and Pakistan; it is aged for a year after harvesting to develop full flavor. Available in brown and white."

I think you're getting confused with Mir, I'm not Paki lol

 
eh, I just remember eating that type of rice at Rafi's in Glendale. Basmati rice w/ kababs.

Either way, you drive one now //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

got the mids in yet?

 
I like the lights. Not too "ricer" to me... When things get "rice" is when you put a 6 foot wing and a body kit that makes it looks like you're driving a space shuttle. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Lol. Rafi's is good. I like the home made stuff though, much tastier //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Haven't gotten the mids in yet, been busy with work and I come home and relax. I might try working on the baffles over the weekend, if not then sometime next week they will go in.

 
i used to have a accord just like that, best thing to do on those lights is black em out imo, and theres some pretty sweet front lights for that model the black halos they look nice, and u deff need to be sitting on some shoes
