Hi all,
I thought I'd create a progress build thread for my 2.4 as a reference but also a guide for anyone that should need it.
My Ep3 was getting tired and I was ready for a change in all honesty, not wanting to pay through the nose for a Euro R, I decided to keep a look out for a 2.4 and mod it myself.
After driving over 200 miles to pick her up she was understandably filthy and so out came the cleaning products - she didnt half scrub up well:
I wanted to keep the look of the car sleek and so first thing was to remove the "Accord" badge from the rear - easily done with some dental floss and running it behind the badge itself, a quick detail with Autoglym intestive tar remover and a little buff and it was gone. A big improvement for only a couple of minutes work:
Next on the list was a full interior light conversion to LED. After seeing the previous install pictures from Andy, the improvement after switching the old bulbs for LED's was massive. Big thanks to Zain @ Horizon LEDs for sorting the kit for me, here's a few pics of before and after:
Map light - Before
Map light - After
Door light - Before
Door light - After
I can't describe how much better they are, the light coverage is so much better and they look awesome too.
Next on the agenda was a Heko deflector kit (bough direct via the bay), again streamlining the look of the car, they're rediculously easy to install:
That's all for now folks, more to come shortly.
