PjkF: 1997 Honda Accord (Fender Mirror Project)

Here are a few shots of my daily driver. Nothing too exciting, but I have done all the work on the car myself since I was about 17.

Exterior:
94-96 Honda Prelude Si wheels
Depo Euro SiR blackhoused headlights
Black & clear bumper lights
Rear Taillight amber units removed
LED signals and running lights
Stitching on damaged front bumper

Engine:
No name header
2.25in full catback exhaust with chambered muffler
hybrid intake Aftermarket charge pipe mated to a K&N drop-in filter

Suspension:
Tokico Illumina R full coilovers with dampening adjustment 2.5" drop at current state (up to 4" drop at bottom of adjustment)
Neuspeed front strut tower brace
Polyurethane bushings for sway bars
Polyurethane cups for balljoints

Looking to purchase larger sway bars to replace the current set.

You wouldn't think that this would be a great handling car, but it feels like this thing in on rails. (still not as close to my old MR2 as far as "fun factor")

On to the pictures:

In addition I am moving on to another project for the dear Accord. A fender mirror made from a round 3" bike mirror.

I am working on making an aerodynamic shape to go along with the fact that the car isn't shaped like a brick.

Here is an initial photoshop to see what a standard set would look like.

The new one will look much different and cost me nothing to produce sans the materials and my time.

Here is some primary work on the shape:

I realize that last photo was a little vague on the direction of the shape so here it is after a little more shaping:

Here's an update again.

These last two are of what is going to be removed from this shape to obtain the final shape. Dark pencil marks indicate removal.
