6th Gen Accord Coupe Build

[puzzlemaster94]

Well the alternator was installed, now saving for a better drop and exhaust. Literally broke at the moment. Probably should say this will be a SLOW build, both in terms of time and the speed of my car lol.

Also opinions from you guys quick: I've got stock Acura TL wheels, and I've been thinking about a powdercoat. I'm torn between a bronze or a gunmetal, or maybe a white. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Goldish/bronze:


Gunmetal: (Not TL wheels)


White: (Not TL Wheels)


All cars pictured are my color also.

Thanks

So after my introduction and a bit of waiting, I've decided to make a build thread.

I'll share a bit of background and before/after's.

My first car back in 2010. Famous DEP "paint cancer" (clearcoat flaking off). Other than the horrible paint, this car was very nice. One owner, pristine interior, and all the options. Leather, moonroof, woodgrain, etc.....

My original plan was to drive it, get it painted, and immediately sell it. But after paint, my mod bug kicked in and I've had it ever since.

Before Paint















After paint: The only things done up to this paint were the fogs and some tailight-tint.






After paint, I really started getting into my car. Just the little things, and it's been a long process, but it slowly coming together.
