OOO that looks nice... especially with the front spoiler... Personally for me, I love sharp edges in the back.. So keep it

And if you did take it off, how are you going to cover up the holes...

Check out Volks when you are considering wheels. They are light and strong. Other than that the car looks clean and nice, and my vote is keep the wing.

man i would leave that wing on. looks sick with it. i think the 5th generation accords look better with out a wing. but just my opinion.

all you need to do is slap some sick rims on and your pretty much done. very nice most people get RIMS first then drop the car. but very good how you did the lowering first.

IMO the wing breaks the body lines

my thought as well. the body line is off with the wing. if the wing was sometype of molded wing, then yes...i say take it off and get a carbon trunk instead....

you could really make your handling worst by overlower it, search on suspension travel, bumpstop riding, bumpsteer, suspension geometry before slamming it to please every 16 years old honda boi.


back to your question, the car looks fine as it, without the wing, the rear end looks like a head of a retarded whale, or in nissan world the ulgy altima.

no need to take out the wing to see how it looks... just drive by any Honda dealerships and take a look at the same exact Accord coupes like yours without wings and make your decision there.
