Diamond plate hood or ban.

^^ x2!

 

[Andrew]

Hmm..... Terrance! Get me a hood, G!

 

[mac_24_seven]

Ya know....



If I had the equipment, I COULD make a diamond plate hood. It wouldn't be as hard as you think it would be.
I just don't have access to a machine that can roll that big of a piece of metal.

 

[Andrew]

I would SO sport some DP!

 

[daveholiday]

I second that. Vented too. If you could, I'd definately buy one.

Maybe you guess should check out the ford zx2 escort in super street readers rides with diamond plate grille with diamonds cut in it. I bet you would change your minds about diamond plate anywhere on the outside of a car.

 

[Andrew]

If I could Diamond plate an entire car, I wouldn't!

its also on a totally different car on a different part of the car. And who would cut diamonds into diamond plate anyway?

Your search - "diamond plate honda" - did not match any documents.
​

Well, at least you'd be the first to do it. Might come in handy if you live in an area prone to natural disasters....

Although, I did find this:

...which may get you more excited than it should.

 

[daveholiday]

thats actually kinda interesting
not sure of how excited it'd get me seeing as I won't see it much
plus, I like the chrome part about diamond plate

 

[daveholiday]

at least on ebay motors, a hundred different listings for crx floor mats came up.
eBay - crx diamond plate, Parts Accessories - buy and sell on eBay Motors
too bad I'm buying another car soon and need to saveee money

How often do you really see the valve cover, though...?

I mean, I see mine almost every day it seems for one reason or another....

 

[91_civic_si]

I think he was talking about the muffler

 

[humblegumbo]

I am sure he was. My point was that if he's not interested in a DP muffler because he won't see it much, then why the DP VC?

 

[daveholiday]

I actually do see my valve cover probably at least once a day as well for whatever reason, so I actually see it. I don't know, I guess I'm not saying theres a problem with the muffler but I just don't get down and admire my muffler daily, much less if its kinda stealthy

 

[Andrew]

I just love it when I pop my hood at the car meet and hear people inhale heavily

Thats the only reason for the friggin wire tuck, painting the bay, accessories on the engine, things like that.... thats what it comes down to. show.

 

[Matts96HB]

I love wire tucks. I wanna do one on my EK, but I'm too lazy.

 

[Andrew]

That presents a major problem then, huh?

 

[Matts96HB]

Haha, yeah. Im sure I'll do it when I have the car apart this winter for the new front end & what not.

Anyway, still thinking turbo andrew?
