I'm excited to get to know others who like the Gen7 Accord! 

Car looks good! Welcome to ECM!

Thanks for the compliment! I'm sure I'll be seeing plenty of really nicely done Gen7's on this forum.

Yeah! I noticed in your Sig that your car looks identical to mine... that is until I get my V6 badge (back) this coming week.

Welcome to the elite, we gotta meet up when I come up for the parade in July.

You're gonna come up to Toronto? For sure we should hang... let me know when you have details and we'll figure that out. I'm in a local Accords club too so if the timing's right you can come to one of our weekly meets.

Was gonna start a fresh thread but wasn't sure where to put it.. so I decided to just add to this profile instead. Some pics of my Retrofit project so far...

Morimoto's arrived Saturday ( to Ken for hookin me up!)


Pulled apart the housing on Sunday... actually easier than I thought it would be.


Fixed the cracked rear housing and also noticed that the little ball pegs (not sure what they're called) that hold the reflector bowls in the housing were broken so I JB welded those back on.

Painted the trim... thinkin about paintin the low beam reflector but maybe not? lol just waiting for the JB weld to fully cure before I decide.

stuck to amber reflectors... they stood out better against the blacked-out trim

Nice, def a good choice with the amber reflectors.  I had clear ones on my first set and something was just lacking.  Got amber with my new ones amd they just pop more.

yup that's what I felt when I put the clear ones on it just didn't look right like there was not enough depth so I went with amber

Got the reflector housing mounted back in but gonna wait til weekend (gotta pull the bumper) and mount these on the car to adjust levels before sealing it back up... almost there!
