Ya my header is about 2" off the ground, already scraped and beat up. I have hit my rail a couple times. Thats what people don't get. Because I DONT tuck my tire, they think my car isn't low.. I bet my car is lower then many of the guys who do tuck tire. I just like tires that fit snugly, but not all the way up in the fender. Plus my rear stick out a little, which I like... I don't see that as a fad? lol...

O ya, and guess what, no rubbage, full lock, and no fender rolling. My car is actually usable.

Nice, I like your rims, I just checked it out in the garage. Did you do your headlights with the yellow? I saw the diy but looked a little sketch baking my headlights lol. I also was going to run those full amber corners like you. That is the only other headlight setup I like other then stock.

Stoked to see another accord guy doing something different man!

anyone needs to roll/pull their fenders to make these wheels fit and look decent. "if it's your thing"

You don't hit at full lock or rub becuase your have hella wheel gap.
Your wheels sticking out is called poke. Being done/been done.

He pulls it off accept it's to low for me. That's why you run a larger wheel like 17 or 18 to raise the car up a bit and make it more driveable.

My tire is BARELY stretched as far as stretching goes.. a reputable shop put it on no problem. Again, roll and pull the fender to tuck a wide offset wheel - o look another fad...

and I know bro. I said that to emphasize exactly what you were talking about as far as fads goo... my car works without a problem though because I don't FOLLOW the tuck and roll to pull off offset.

^To the above picture- ya I can't clear ****. You should see the 4 speedbumps I have to get over my community, and an area on the freeway I hit at 80 I bottomed out...Im LOW. O wait isn't that car above me a fad?? LOL - thanks for contradicting yourself yet again... the whole poke thing I like... SORRY FOR FOLLOWING MAN!!! ITS PRETTY HARD NOT TO DO WHEN WE ALL HAVE ACCESS TO TEH SAME ****!!!! AS FAR AS MATERIAL ITEMS GO.

Here hate on this too:

i have better pix than what's in the garage now. yeah the reflectors are yellow but i didn't actually pull them apart, a buddy on here did and he sold them to me for $40 but i love the yellow highs and they actually help in the fog. i started moding the buckets to fit the depo corners but said fvck it and i like the ambers much better. the rims aren't gonna be on much longer cuz i'm going down to 16s. but thanx dude

You're not getting it at all....YOU'RE NOT PULLING OFF THE OFFSET LOOK. To do it you have to make the wheels fit and to do it. YOU HAVE TO ROLL/PULL YOUR FENDERS. It's not a fad at all. It's what's required to pull off the look.
I never said the car wasn't a fad. Now did I? Please direct me to that post. I'm simply stating to pull off those wheels you gotta ditch the wheel gap. Hey look an accord with your same wheels. Way to not follow the trends. Well you're half assing it anyways
I'm not even watching the video so I have nothign to say. I have a full 15+ picture photo shoot on here a few pages back. Go ahead and check it out.

I am so sick of people hating on other peoples cars just because they didn't do what the other would of done,its pointless and childish. I installed DC side markers and people hate because i should get the DA ones,people hate because someone made there car (UNIQUE) to stand out from the other guys and people hate on that. Enough with this,its not going to get anywhere but get this thread closed. If you don't like what another has done to there car and you wish to say something about it,do it with a little respect,or don;t say **** at all. Its his car,not yours,if he likes it,that should be the only thing that matters.

Yes you are....xxr wheels with low offset and stickering up random parts of your car. You're following a trend but you're just half assing it "wheel gap" and saying it makes your car different.

It's a public forum. Everyone is entitled to state their opinion. The only way to not get any critisism is don't post pics of your car online. There are people that dislike my car. I honestly don't care cause I built it. The only difference is I don't get all butthurt about it and start an E pissing contest.
The thread won't get closed. Have you not spent time on H-T.
