Ya which I like except I can't stand how the corners don't match the bumper lights lol. So if I went that way I would need to switch my bumper lights. Those are cheap though so I am not worried. Did you have to modify the amber corners to fit with the blackhoused lights? Are yours depos?

Ek- if you slam your car, first make sure you can get everywhere. People say to go lower on mine, and if I did any more, my chassis would be scraped everywhere and beat to hell. Plus I still have to change up my routes to get to certain areas due to roads or speed bumps.

But I think you should go lower, but not the dumped/slammed ****. You can't just get a coilover sleeve kit to adjust height on the tires your on? I like the meat on the tires and smaller rim, just tuck a little more of your tire since you got big *** ones haha, but then youl probably have to pull fenders and then your back to where you were and probably just should buy smaller tires lol.

Get her an inbetween lol, the d90 is a high end

Theres just so much I want to do, and have the money but can't decide.

1- Thinner tires, lower it a lot more with coilovers. $800-$1100
2- Buy SIR front and rear bumpers. $1100
3- Do a complete B16 swap. $1900

I'm worse than a girl huh?
Screw the swap. You got a strong engine right now I wouldn't worry about it unless you are going to try to make the car quick. But at that point you wouldn't want it slammed slammed. Its what you want to do with it.

I would do 1 and 2, but thats me. For the $1900 swap, you could pick up a hatch or teggy shell and probably be out 500-800. Then build an engine and all that if your trying to have something to run on the track, orrr from light to light lol

nope. they are stockers that were painted so i didn't have to cut or modify. i tried to do depo corners but saif fvck it and bout ambers and i like them better. i was going to replace the bumper lights with matching ones but i think i'm going to paint some stock corner lights and leave the bumper lights


btw i found some 16x8 xxrs with tires on cl for $150 so i may join the offset game soon

Nice man, get them. Are they the 501's like mine or?
be prepared - xxr's aren't real rims! lmao... One guy in the sportmaxx thread posted his cracked volk rims that he spent over 1g on and said hes had his xxrs for 2 years without one problem.

What I am going to do in the very near future, once I get my refund money is buy the depo headlight with corner, and the matching markers that are black housed, then pick up amber depo corners. Then I have everything to interchange and I will always be satisfied because I can change haha.

Then red badges to change it up and probably taking the accord ex logos off the rear. Rear mudflaps, and probably a 94-95 front lip, except thats about 1 bill alone. Time to go to the junk yard! haha

Thats all coming hopefully by spring break

yeah i know they aren't "real" lol but i'll get less **** for them than rotas (honestly i don't care either way) and yes they're 501s...one has a chunk missing but the machine shop at my school may be able to fix it for me then i'm going to strip the paint and polish the ish outta them with a lip paint matched to my car.

i've been meaning to get rid of the accord lx badge on mine but i've been too lazy lol. use floss and goo gone. i found on ebay all four mud flaps for $40 and a brand new 94/95 lip for $40 as well!!!

I am going to go to a junkyard for the lip. How much was shipping? All the ones I found for cheap on ebay were another $50 for shipping lol..And be careful with the mudflaps. I ordered some that did not fit right at all. I found some on ebay however the title says rear, but the description says front.

I am ordering genuine Honda rears for $40 shipped. I got the site if you want it.

And I am just letting you know people will say they aren't real haha. Shoot, my next set of wheels will probably be more xxr's, they got some cool rims. Plus I think they look good on our cars. Some they don't fit right on

Dam thats spendy haha. You say you can't afford new wheels but you can buy that? lolz

I really don't like lips. The only reason I am putting a 94-95 on is b/c its a little more aggressive and in my opinion matches the side moldings a lot better.

Get the wheels first

Swap?

I am going for a 94-95 front lip this weekend, it has a more aggressive lip look to it, oem rear mudflaps, red badges then comes the fun.

My front end. Going to run fogs (possibly ek fogs) with a 3k hid so it has a yellow tint, then black housed headlights with amber corners, 6k hid so a white to mild blue, then black housed bumper lights.

Should have a lot of it on the way these next 2 weeks
