Hello everybody , I am new here on HAF. I currently own a 1993 Honda Accord which I am happily taking care of and grew to love it. My father bought the car in very poor condition for $1000 bucks. Bent front left frame , broken axel , leaking coolant and faded paint. However , me and my father both brought back it's spirit.

Pardon my manners , my name is Paul.

Here is a picture of my car. Hope you fellas like it.

Yessir 1000 bucks. The cheapest we could find in my area and it came to have some damage lol. But it's all worth it in the end. We spent $3500 inlcuding the car , repairs , parts, full tune-up and maintennance like timing belt change , brake service etc , also title transfer and insurance. Runs like new after that. 

That Inspire grille (JDM G-Square grille) is one of my greatest possesion due to rarity just the grille itself. Some of my friends wants to buy it , I deny their offer even at high price. lol.

Thanks for the welcome and I appreciate it.

That looks legit. 5th gen grills can fit to 4th gens, however there is a noticeable gap on the inner side headlights.

4th gens are hard to find now. Been searching on ebay and cant find one. They used to pop up in and out. fake ones usually are on ebay listings , my friend bought one because he though it was the real deal but when he received it it was a fake one.

What I'm in a hunt for is a JDM East Bear grille. Much rare than Chargespeed or G-Square. Also , to find an existence of a Mugen grille IF they really existed.

Thank You sir. Me and my Dad pulled it out from hell lol...

It still runs great eventhough it was parked for 1 year without even starting it for once. The paint is really messed up due to direct sunlight and was not washed for a year.

What does your bumper say to the right of the "Accord" emblem???  Kinda looks like "POS"
