Re: gearbox's crappy photoshoot

Very nice pictures of your car. Did you get tired of the TDM led rear tails?

Re: gearbox's crappy photoshoot

Hello mr. Gearbox, I would liked to know what kind of car do you have? If so you can tell me, please to let me know.

You know what dude, I really don't like silver cars. Most of them seem boring. But I do like your car. I think your ride is a good example of what a silver 7thgen should look like. Nice work!

I knew this one guy that had the same generation accord that you have, but he cut the springs on it, it was well....how do I say, pretty ghetto!

I like the Leds you had on there, I also have them on mine. Did you switch the window brake light back to stock too?

Re: gearbox's crappy photoshoot

no, kept the window light as led. its the only led on the outside of the car now. but it matches the stock tail color and is a ton brighter.

Re: gearbox's crappy photoshoot

i kept thinking... 'window brake light...window brake light...' took a second to realize it was the third brake light :P

you don't have LEDs in your side marker lights anymore? i thought you did a retro on those as well....

but yea, nice and clean...i know you're limited, but have you thought about the red/clear tails at all? they look good on a silver sedan... i'll post a pic i you want to see what they look like...

Re: gearbox's crappy photoshoot

i really like the stock tails and the sidemarkers i went back to amber bulb so it flashes the same as front signal. i got some toshiba wy5w natural amber bulbs (brightest you can get) from the VW dealer. theyre really hard to find!

Re: gearbox's crappy photoshoot

they are the very tiny bmw e46 single xenon projector (bosch). i got new clear headlamps off ebay for $100, then cut a hole in the reflector and mounted the projector with bolts that i got to match the ones that hold the projector together. then i trimmed shrouds to fit around them and block light from coming out the sides, and then glued on a front bezel to make it look nice (shower drain). here are few pics. there are by far better projectors, but its hard to make them fit and look good.

I hated those stock tails on mine, your reverse lights don't quite look so pink for some reason, I guess silver hides it. Btw I like the headlights, what'd all end up costin?

Re: gearbox's crappy photoshoot

nice engine bay....

...sleeper EX... (no 'VTEC' on the valve cover)

...'knock-off' neuspeed strut bar

....relocation of fuse box (is it just sitting there, or re-bolted back on?

and is that still your RSR exhaust? i've contemplated getting an exhaust. saw yours, and liked the clean stock' look of it. but not the prices i've found for it


(btw, don't take any of that negatively)

Of your mods, I think your interior trim and headlights are the best.

yeah after a while the pink fades away and it gets whiter. this pair i got off ebay a week ago and seems like its seen alot of sun. headlights, well i had to buy two sets of sedan lights due to my messups and experiments. shouldve been around $500 total, but ended up costing more.

would you be able to take some clear day pics? and some with the signal on? im just trying to see what that signal lens looks like when off (is it pink like reverse light or is it red like stock tails), and how amber or orange the signal is so it matches my orange bulbs up front.

(btw, don't take any of that negatively)
its sitting there lol. yeah its rsr exhaust, its loud but it looks nice so i live with it

back in nevada yeah, e46 shrouds actually didnt fit the way i wanted! and i like this look too...

im guessing this is sarcasm lol. i have quite a few (more like 20) more wires than stock. my + terminal has about 5 different wires going to it, and my radiator ground does too. or maybe it was just good lighting

ebay seller "autopartshouse" is the only place ive been able to find real 7443 natural amber bulbs where the color doesnt fade. and these are 25w for signal instead of 21w stock.

hmm no lol. i dont think anytime soon, they still look brand new and are holding up really well since april with the 50w philips bulbs.
