The Story:
It was the year 1998 when I first saw the Accord sedan and instantly fell in love with it. I knew I had to get one after high school graduation. Well graduation finally came, went on a nice cruise with my family, and finally got my Accord, August of '99. I was excited like a little boy getting his first G.I. Joe. lol. Anyways, I didn't know much about modifying a car because I was mainly into the audio scene. Well once I had what I THOUGHT was good, I started moving onto how I can make my car look better. And yes, I WAS in the whole altezza taillight phase, but soon got out of it once I found others making their accords look so clean, yet stylish. I still remember the one guy back on Honda Society that caught my attention the most. A guy that went by the name of DEEZ. White accord, Xenon kit, dual fireball exhaust, etc. Some of these other forums I found was great, but there was still a lack of information until I found V6P.net.
I used to work as much as I could and spend all my money into my car. Yeah that's right, I was extremely addicted after reading through the forums and the options or soon to be options available for our cars. lol. Well I decided to quit because of other complications I had with my boss, so I had to think of an idea quick to make some money. I started to sell LED dash light conversions to people and try to make a little something here and there, but just wasn't enough for what I wanted to get done. That's where my retrofitting business came in. Didn't make that much in the beginning, but after a while, business started to pick up and well..........you know the rest. Almost all of you guys know me as well as many others on different forums. Either way, I still work my butt to get what I want. :)
My whole goal with my car was to make it as clean as possible, yet something someone can say, "wow, is that an Accord?", or "man, that is awesome." Especially the whole system and the carpc. I know it's been done many times, but not as many getting it done to the extent I have and being used daily. Well I've still got a lot more plans with my baby, which everyone will eventually see once I get it done. What exactly? Well I still got custom paint job, do a little more work on the multimedia/system, and finally last, but not least, engine performance. :) Who knows, maybe I'll see YOU at the shows some day. :)
Thanks/Shout Outs
Well there are a lot of people I would like to thank. Mostly my parents for allowing my to do what I wish with my car. Driven and Telele, you know you two are my boys, but when it comes to show time, your ass is mine. lol. Just playing guys, may the best Accord win. :) Thanks to lowincash for being a loyal retrofit customer and also to all those that have been very supportive of my business and allowing me to grow. RKV, thanks for spreading my name out for me everywhere. And thanks to anyone else that I missed too, especially V6P for allowing me to become ride of the month.
