blue/white with white wheels

[Honoturtle]

Any other suggestions??? Right now I'm deciding weather to make a new front bumper or stick with the mugen lip. I'm almost done modifing the roll-cage to accomodate the rear seat.

kicker1_solo, if I use blue/white, how would I make the patterns?? Like which parts blue or white?

Any suggestions with a front bumper, provide pics if possible.

Just start with the colors and do what you think would look good. I dunno how it looks inside, as far as vents, door panels and such, so I can't tell ya. Just do what you think would look cool.
Or look around at some nice imports that have sweet lookin' interiors and use those as a guide.

Leave it. If you modify it, it may become fake looking.

Here's a little something I was working on today, all it needs is some putty and a bit of shaping.








Well that's it for now. And kicker1_solo and thug_9_6 thanks for your advice.

Any commets are welcomed.

The rear spoiler is looking good.
To make it look more realistic, you might wanna cut two triangles out of the supports (see any rear spoiler and you will know what I mean).

Do you mean make it like a GT Wing?? I'm actually trying to replicate the Touring spoiler not a GT Wing. You see, my past two cars, Supra and Civic, both have GT Wings so I wanted to do something a bit different. Do you know what I'm talking about?

Honoturtle- It's looking good man. I love the touring wing. Keep the front, it looks good from what i see.

Haha, I guess not eh?? Going to pop in 8 bulbs(4 in front and back), and I plan to cut open the trunk to access the batterys and a switch. So how should I link the LEDs???? Should I connect them to each other then connect it to the battery????? or Connect them individualy to the battery???? and, Is a 220ohms resistor good enough to handle more tham one bulb??

[Honoturtle]

Here's what's happin'! I've been fixing my AE86 spoiler though this week, and won't primer till next week Sunday so I got some spare time on my hands to work on this car again!! I can't seem to find LED's that are white with a blue hue, only blue ones! I'm either going to have 6 LED's and 2 bulbs, or 8 LED's and 2 bulbs, or no lights at all! We'll see.........

Well I planned out......... the cuts..........


Then attacked!!! Like a mad man!!!


Everything went pretty fine, not too many screw ups!


Don't you guys love those coins!

All comments are of course aprciated, critisisim is also appreciated

[Peteex]

all white LED's are based off of blue ones, they should all have a bluish white, or purplish white hue, its jut the way they are. Good luck on the accord, looks excellent so far.

[magicmanjk808]

looking pretty good. nice to see some progress pics.
