Haha, I wouldnt have explained the lug nut, just said "wow I never noticed that" and let people say **** ahaha. Did you pick those lugs up from a friend or by any chance just buy 4 locks and a key. Cause thats really want I need to do.

I think he's getting at the fact that it sticks out pretty far, like Leno's chin

But to stay on topic, the wheels look nice

Way to rep accords

lol. thanks guys.....i think it will blend more when its painted. if you look at the nose of the accord from the side it all slants in the front and the lip is perfectly in line with that. i dont know i like it so thats what matters

thanks for the comments guys

Nice, but that car needs to be slammed to look good. Post pics with the painted lip.

I know you said it's on H&R Lowering springs but i definitely think your gonna have to lower it more in order for it to look good

yeah like i said im looking into getting a shorter strut...i.e. koni... as the springs for the accord are not very aggressive. there is only i think a half inch difference in the h&r sport and race so that would not be much of a improvement as it is my daily i do not want to sacrifice my comfort and ride for a coilover setup with very stiff rates. already been through that with my em1. maybe some of you guys can point me in a direction to go? maybe a prelude spring would work? trust me...i want to eliminate the fender gap and make it perfectly even but there are just not too many options for this model accord.....
