What is up with all that orange?

AleroBloke 02-14-2005 02:48 PM

Maybe favorite color? haha, it looks unique! tight job

Youngblood77 02-14-2005 02:59 PM

I'm diggin the re-wrap job on the rear seat-sides, and the intake looks like a quality product, but it wouldn't take me very look to break out the sandpaper and scuff that mugen crud off there. Just find some matching paint, mask off EVERYTHING with newspapers, and fizz-can cover the rice. :thumbsup:

I'm diggin that orange also. Its very unique...but wipe that mugen crap off like young said. And hell, paint that orange too.

OrangeALero 02-14-2005 06:22 PM

u think orange piping would look good with red couplers? cuz the idea had crossed my mind cuz i wanna paint my strut bar too..but im not sure how it would turn out

Sportalero 02-14-2005 06:32 PM

^^NO. IMO, accent the orange with blue. And you can never go wrong with black or white. But def not red.

johny_boy32 02-14-2005 06:44 PM

go orange with both or orange and white

Youngblood77 02-14-2005 08:29 PM

^ Exactly. Orange and White would look sweet IMO.

OrangeALero 02-14-2005 08:35 PM

im not sure what you mean exaclty? are you saying an orange intake with red couplers would look good on a white car? or orange or white for options of painting the intake and strut bar or...?

they are saying don't do the red couplers, make the only colors orange and white

what year accord do you buy it for? was it the 3.0 engine? how much custom work did you have to do to get it to fit?

johny_boy32 02-14-2005 09:50 PM

Paint the intake orange since that is the dominating color and the couplers white. That would look tight

Oldsman 02-14-2005 09:53 PM

definitely different with the orange

OrangeALero 02-14-2005 11:17 PM

you can paint couplers?


yea it was the v6 accord 1998 to 2002....had to move the battery closer towards the headlight, cut out some metal on the fender well..other than that just cutting pipe and getting the grommets into the coupler

-Alero- 02-14-2005 11:32 PM

the words i didnt like were, cutting fender well. im thinking about looking at a AEM V2 CAI for an accord in the summer

OrangeALero 02-14-2005 11:41 PM

well measure twice and cut once cuz if ur payin 200+ dollars for an intake that you have to modify...the 3 inch pipe fits through the existing hole in the well from the original air box but u have to make it bigger to get the right angle for the pipe otherwise the filter and the pipe will hit your wiper fluid case...lol dont mess up

oh yea and you will also need aditional couplers because the accord only comes with two...i needed 3...the aleromod directions in the FAQ thing i think require four

looks pretty good. definately go orange with white couplers. definately get rid of "mugen".

also what kind of strut bar is that? and where in buffalo are you?

Never noticed that, good eye Spilner. I'm now thinking the same thing. B)
