In the world of Hondas, many people strive to set their car apart from others. Sometimes, people succeed, sometimes they don't; sometimes they succeed while ruining their car, sometimes they don't. Gabriel's 98 Accord not only starts off with a not-so-popular platform, it sets itself apart while keeping it clean and conservative, aLL STaR style.

The white four door has been kept simple to keep the conservative lines of the Accord. The entire body is accented with a Xenon body kit while a VIS Carbon Fiber Hood offers a diverse change in the front end. Black housing headlights flow with the hood while HID's light up the street through the lights.

Under the hood lies a Weapon*R cold air intake, DC Sports headers, an MSD ignition system and a NOS 50 shot kit. A Vortech fuel pressure regulator keeps fuel pressure at good pace for the nitrous fed motor. Gabriel's Accord was originally an automatic, but that didn't fare too well with him. He swapped out the auto tranny in favor of a Prelude manual system. Exhaust fumes are expelled through the dual GReddy Maximum Extreme exhaust system.

In car electronics are in abundance in this four door. A Pioneer 9300 head unit powers the XM satellite radio and the Playstation 2. An Accel TV system plays the goodies while 4 12" Rockford Fosgate HE's drop the bass. 2 Punch 500's amps are run to the subs, while a Punch 400 amp powers the mids and highs.

The car sits on 19" Racing Hart Z5000's wrapped with Pirelli 215/35/19's. All while lowered by Ground Control Coilovers.

As you can see, this car is simple, yet clean and elegant. It grabs your attention without having adverse effects, and ultimately pleases your eyes.
