Smile New Guy here...

Hi guys just wanted to introduce myself to the forum.Feels funny being a noob again. My name is Alex and im from Houston,TX.I found a really good deal on a clean 95 ES,so i ended up getting it.I wasnt gonna mod it but I cant help it.Main thing that is bothering me right now is the tail lights.But like my other cars im gonna put my ideas on paper before I do anything.I also drive a 2001 Honda s2k turbo putting 400HP and 300+lbs of TQ to the wheels and is pretty much modded to the bone.But anyways im looking forward to being on here.

-Alex

Well i dont know the ""official"" name of my ES's color.Its white pearl at top with a light gray at the bottom.What i want on the tail lights is basically like this car with red and clear in the center.


Im gonna fix the small things 1st.Some of my gauge lights are burned out and 1 needle.Aside from that i think i need a tranny solenoid.My mechanic is gonna inspect it more thoroughly soon.Dont worry Asad,i called in your part im just waiting on a call back.Major plans?Well i'll keep it simple with kit,wheels and some air suspension.I dont wanna invest nearly as much as I did on the s2k and i will be driving this everyday.

Welcome!

I originally bought mine to be a daily driver for parking in a commuter train lot; I was just going to leave it alone and take it for granted.

That never works with my cars either...

Be proud of your mod-bug disease and keep us up-to-date with what you do.

Welcome to the club.

When I switched to the ES from my Prelude, I found myself "relaxing" too much while driving. A huge difference in overall ride quality. You should enjoy it. I do.

I think the official color is just that Pearl White I believe its the same paint code as my 97 and my 90. About your taillights and needles the search tool is your best friend on that one. I belive with the taillights you need to bake them pry them open take out the yellow and seal em back up. There are so many DIY's on the needles and tail's it should be cake.
