Default YAY or NAY to the new look

Well most people know that I wanted to go to the complete stock look. But this body kit has grew on me tremendously. I wanna keep it but the only changes wanna is to get rid of the fenders and get new wheels.... Well here is what i thought would look good, and thanks to jobe16 for the chop... make a decision

1) Stay the way it is Now





2) New wheels and New Fenders




If YOU DON'T LIKE EITHER ONE, PLEASE STATE WHY AND WHAT YOU THINK WOULD LOOK GOOD WITH THIS ACCORD.

well the rims make the car, and the big goofy 17's make it look like a street cruiser.. yawn.. the rota's with the thicker/bigger rubber at a race/agresive note to the car. Then backs it up with lighter rims, and better rubber

I think the fenders have to go. The body kit looks hot. I think some other wheels would look better though.

Fenders have to go, I like the body kit except the side skirts...
Get the rotas also, the 17s make it look goofy.

i think that the car would look better with stock fenders and no sidemarker.

As for wheels i think with the color of the car the wheels should stay the 17 or 18's. You have to remeber that the accord is a large car.

I would think about getting the rotas if your car was a different color which might not be a bad idea....

Get rid of the kit, fenders and go with the rims you selected. OEM will look better than that kit in my opinion.

like the change, and its good to be a little different sometime and not follow what everyone says to do. Do your own thing.

that new look is hideous, rims are way tooo small for the car and the body kit. The only thing you should ditch are the fenders. The small rims would make your car look goofy

Well, driving behind you I know you idle over anything about 1.5" tall, so you know what i'd say

I like the Rota's and fenders much better...

I like it..much better. The kit isnt bad..just it would help to get it repainted and its kinda sagging.

I think it looks really good except for the fenders. That's all I would change. Don't get on the stupid h-t jDm yOo bandwagon with rotas and ****. All of that is so played out and retarded. I like the car cuz it has its own style..

I like the new look, but you should get a stock front bumper and a lip.
