95-97 accord headlights....i know this for a fact

there not a direct bolt in and there is modifying to do but they will work and pass a safety...and they look like ass in the car !

mine stock when i had it



after the accord mod


they do fit but fit like ass ....

it has to be the 2 piece headlights....headlight + side marker light...you can only use the headlight assy and have to modify the mounting panel that comes with it to fit

you can not use the 1 piece ricer lights that are avaliable on ebay

Ill see when i get into it, but its soft aluminum so will not take much.
Got some bodyshop experience here too.

Wet sanding is a good idea, never thought of it.


As for insurance, there are a lot more rules in MB, but the cost is so much cheaper than here in ON. Private insurance companies just give it to ya.
Upside is no emissions testing, no inspections or anything else, you just pay and drive.

Am I the only one here with a sled? Keeps my mind off the cobalt hah 125hp of fun

I have yet to polish a valve cover but I beg to differ. It won't be soft and easy to sand. The guy that did yellowdragon's is my buddy and he said "I will never polish a valve cover ever again" Lol. It's not going to be as easy as you think. If you don't wetsand it in the end it's gonna look like crap. You will have scratches everywhere.

Yup I have a sled. It's on 03 ZR 900 with 170hp. If you flip a back to page 16 you can watch a 0-100mph pull I did with it. I totaly agree it keeps your mind off of wanting boost haha.

What exactly is anodizing? Is it like a metal tint or something? I know that's what it looks like.

Oh ya there's tons of trails. I do more ditch banging myself. I just pull out of my driveway and ride also. I love living in the country. Or being a hillbilly as Jordan puts it haha.
