Default Last time, I want everyone's input on my ride!

I am looking for all kinds of comments. Positive/Negative, etc. I am trying to decide what to do with my $ and my life. Here are a couple of notes

1995 Honda Accord EX V6 Sedan
Mileage: 51k
No performance mods

Let me know what you think of it, and something you would change etc.













No it is NOT EBP

I would get a stock wing, and add I/H/E to start.

if you really really like altezza's get CF altezza's but i suggest you don't get altezza's at all unless you reeeallly want to but they have to be CF...

uhm lower it an inch or two more...

how about an H22? but right now start with exhaust then CAI intake... instead of intake theres always turbo...

Who said anything about altezzas? **** altezzas. They all look like crap.

Why? So he rides on bumpstops?

H22 doesnt fit into a V6 engine bay, as said in another thread on the front page of this forum, its going require fabrication and probably would not be worth the headache

An intake or turbo isnt isnt exactly the same level of modification, complexity or cost, they should even be compared as one vs. the other! A custom turbo kit, engine management, fuel upgrades, exhaust etc for it to run safely is like 15x more expensive than an intake.

Edit: No offense but I hate that color blue. Every Honda i see thats been painted is EBP or a shade like yours. Im kind of tired of it. If you like it thats all that matters What about some performance? You've spent all that $ on paint and wheels, how about an exhaust or intake?

PS. Im in a lousy mood today

I agree with hondasport. Ive seen many people with that shade of bule for their accords but as long as you like it, its all good. Nice car though.

Thanks guys. As far as the blue goes, my car was re-done from black last year, around March. I don't regret, but your right, everyone kind of did it. Mine is VW blue. If I could do it over, my car would be white or red. I do not have altezza;s (not anymore, anyway) I have the red/clears (custom)

No performance mods YET. I am about to cancel my order on the Greddy SP, and just get some custom piping done for $200 less,and get intake. Spoiler has been on for 3 years, and yes it will come off eventually. I want the no spoiler look. My car will NOT be lowered anymore, I have been there, done that. I used to have Ractive coils, slammed 3 in. If you like bottoming out everywhere, then good for you. I hated it. I like to think of my car as clean and not F&F.

JDM style headlights might come, but I'd rathe have real HID's on my stocks

Nice, clean look. Like the color. A CF hood would look sharp. Like others have said, a front lip wouldn't be bad, as long as it stays understated.

nice ride. CAR WASH any stereo/sound upgrades? new speakers/amp would be nice. I don't think I'd change much.

Nice car man!

My opinion... Leave your Accord stock engine wise, buy an older Civic, Accord, Prelude, whatever you like, do a swap, slowly build it up, and have that as your weekend fast car.

Just something to think about.

Yes, my next tires will be 215/40/17. I had to get these bc of the package I got. I already have the Eibach Pro Kit w/KYB GR-2's. Yes they suck, very stiff ride. It all depends if I wanna be bothered changing all the bs again. My rims are RH M5's 17x7. Looking back on the hell I went through to get them, they will be on for a while.
