Props for creativity and balls. That said the whole thing is a little over the top, which some might say is rice, but I like the new rear better.

First off PROPS!!!I would say if you want a "stock rice" look then you shouldn't have touched the body. \ really hope you haven't destroyed your car, but in the immortal words of Sheryl Crow." If it makes you happy it can't be that bad." Keep up the work and post more please:D

thanks! im still mixing ideas for the rear hahaha yeah i think the stock body is mostly trash. no stock bumpers, front fenders and headlights are copped up, and gas filler door is trash and bondo on doors and rear quarter.
by the way im not sure if you guys were able to notice but

can anyone guess what car my projector headlights are off of???

I think the rear no longer matches the front of the car....there is simply too large of a visual transition when viewing the car from the side profile. I think part of the reason is because the front of the car looks so long and the rear looks so short...maybe the spoiler should extend back rather than extending upwards off the trunk? This would give the illusion of a longer rear end.

Also, the recessed lines in the doors should be filled...they look out of place now that the front and rear fenders are so built up.

i can always make a spoiler that extends out rather than up i've seen it on some stock cars i can't remember but i was going to add a fender flare on each tire. so does it look with the rear fender?

I saw this new Accord yesterday in the parking lot at Kragen while recycling my used motor oil... It's bad... Also, I believe that was styrofoam, not molding foam.

ok so i f&@#ed up on the rear bumper. i have to redo it. i will do so by buying an aftermarket and building it on the side. the bright side is i can now make it smaller and flow with the body as best i can. if anyone has a stock rear bumper to sell you know where to find me

not sure if you can see it in the picture but the left and right side are not symmetrical.

Given your GT-Rish body lines, I think it will look a lot better once you sand it and paint it black. Currently it looks like it's still being built which .. makes sense :)
