The saying Do it right the first time is a tad overused these days. In a perfect scenario, everybody would build the car of their dreams with their first attempt without making any mistakes. That, of course, is unrealistic for many, and the process of building a car often serves as a learning curve so that one can do it right the first time with their next project. Mistakes are the stepping-stones that lead to the right path, and errors are the ingredients that help us appreciate success once we reach it. The beauty of this automotive hobby of ours is that there isn’t a precise right way of doing anything. Like art, true beauty lies within the eyes of the beholder, and mistakes are all relative to the person painting the picture. When it comes to painting the portrait of an Accord, Sheheryar Shahid believes that he’s figured out the formula to create a beauty-he will also be the first one to admit that he’s made a ton of mistakes in the process.
My car was a mess when I first got it, Shahid explains, although I can laugh about it now.Aesthetically, he discovered the new, cleaner look that he wanted, but the mistakes didn’t stop there-he was just getting started.
While I worked on removing all the junk off my car and collecting quality parts, I saw a couple boosted Accords on various Internet forums. I wanted to know what a turbocharged motor felt like, so I purchased and installed a generic turbo kit from eBay. The kit consisted only of a tiny T25 turbo, but I thought it was so awesome to feel boost! That my Accord was automatic, even though i should mention.Xenon side and rear pieces were also added to give the whole body of the Accord a sleek profile before Shahid had the entire chassis resprayed in a custom blue pearl.knowledge and experience along the way.
