Really fantastic work. Sure it is quite crude especially early on, but what is really so fantastic to me about it, is that you're doing this all on your own with experimentation. Others can laugh, call it ugly and whatnot, but when it is completed, you will have one unique Accord that you can be proud of. You are going to clean up the lines around the right headlight and the cutouts in the front bumper on the right side correct?

Since you quit your job, are you thinking of going into this full time? I think with a proper workshop you could do even better.

Thanks guys
yes the front is still not done I just paint the bumper so it doesn't look bad wile I work on the side of the car and I do this because im tired of working on it so I change it up by doing something different it may not be the best way but it works for me. I did start working on it full time but it sucks not having money. I'm doing some work with a mechanic and it's enough

I see this accord in the VONS plaza all the time with subtle changes every week. Always parked near the kragen (they actually moved closer to your car's "spot").

was curious who the owner was and wished I had to time to custom fab exterior bits.

Ok first off whaaat, This is INSANE!!! lol But my lord it is incredible!! I wish I even had the guts to think about doing a project like that! It looks amazing though!! Great Work!! I like bumper "B". I'm assuming it would slope inward with those 5 other "Lines" being umm... round protruding let's say pillars? lol not sure how to put it.

Perhaps like the same section I'm referring to on this kit-vv
