Okay guys got a few small mods planned for the accord basically just for looks, might open up the exhaust and intake but still looking into that. So I'm thinking a slight drop on tein spring which is about 1.2 up front and .8 out back because stock the back sits slightly lower. I don't want to have to deal with the ride or how low the stang was with a DD as good as it looked (at least I think so). Now for rims I was thinking of getting some used acura tl rims and having them painted. I think the wider rims (spoke wise not thin 5 spokes) look better on this car. Don't have recent pics of the accord so work with me here. The car is darker than it shows in these pictures and I think a flat matte bronze color would really look good with the paint color from what I have seen, I kindof want something different than just silver or black. Heres a picture of the car and the two rims I'm considering and getting them powdercoated...what do you guys think? Also fog lights going in soon and considering adding the front lip in the last link which is a better picture of my color car.



3rd gen rims...

5x114.3? I think those are the dimensions. I was actually looking on oewheels to see if they fit, the offset might be the only problem. I'm going to look into that. Don't know what mustang wheels would look good on my car....10th anni's? The 9inch width up front might pose a problem though

Thats what I was leaning towards too. I've seen them done and they looked good, I just want to do something different.

So I'm thinking of doing a set of Roush wheels in Hydrocarbon (for those familiar with the process). Here's what a Vette wheel looks like. It's in blue, obviously I'd do standard black weave. It's actually 3D, and reflects light the same way true CF does.

Thoughts?
