Default pics of my accord

i posted the pics in the appearance/cosmetic section a while back but haven't posted them yet in the accord section... or maybe i did but i can't remember... most people don't like the wing but sometimes it grows on some of them... but at least i like it... anyway, it also turns heads one way or another... 60% of turbo kit is sitting in room... that will be my next mod... comments welcome...

Very clean. I think a wing is ok, but not that one in particular. To me it takes away from the car a little. If you like it though, that's all that matters. Just my .02

Am I correct that the kit is the Wingswest Touring kit? I like the kit. What other mods?? Any pics from the back?

Usually pieces of a bodykit look better painted, and get rid of that ******* nasty wing, unless of course you convered to RWD and it might do something.

Other than that, looks decent.

macswhtaccord, what wing is "ok" in your opinion..? the flush mount mugen style one right..? i guess i was going for that JTCC accord look or some shiet...

Accord94DX, i am guilty as charged... at least i didn't make my automagic look as if it was a manual-hehe...

dvp95, here you go...
mods include aem intake, 5zigen exhaust, test pipe, a'pexi vafc, cusco strut and lower arm bar, tein ha coilovers, and ingalls camber kit...

nickh2k1 & l0p3z, thanks...

kazmans94cord, incorrect guess... vafc is not only for dohc vtecs... there are also sohc vtecs out there... accord f22b1 is sohc vtec motor...

sleengreeper, thanks... good eyes... other people don't notice it but i guess the fact that it's not painted bothers people more than others... at least the lip kit is black (instead of white, yellow, blue, etc...)

Hey that is the touring kit correct? On the wingswest site it has the touring kit with the w-type sides and rear. Yours is different..

yes, at least its a quality kit.


I didn't know Cusco made anything for a CD5. I may have to look into that?

What camber kit exactly do you have? A-Arm spacer things? or ball joints? How is your camber wear? Any idea how high you can raise yor car before you get postive camber? I have Tein HA's as well and am currently looking for an appropriate camber kit.

MarkVoorhees, thanks-the 2nd choice that i had in mind for a wing is the accord type R style wing... whether it's type R or aluminum, i'd still get flamed for it-hehe...

greensleeper, Cusco does make a front upper strut bar and lower arm bar (don't ride too low or it will scrape like a ****..!) i guess it's the only JDM alternative since Mugen doesn't offer a lot of shiet for the accords... however, i believe Tanabe's got stuff too i think... the Ingalls front camber kit is +1.25 degrees to 3 degrees... the rear is camber link w/ ball joint -2 degrees to +3 degrees... i've never adjusted the car high enough to get positive camber... i guess you would have to bring your car to a shop to find out... as for finding the appropriate camber kit, drop your car to the height you want and get a prealignment test to see what kind of a camber kit you need... who knows-you might not need 3 degrees of adjustability... but in case you ever do need one, then your camber kit is capable of the adjustability...

looks like the **** I took yesterday.........

if you think anybody i impressed by a wing that does absolutely nothing for you in any way than keep on living in a fantasy world, it would take me about thirty seconds to tear that car to shreads on a racetrack

i knew the flames where coming. i was suprised it took so long for them to pop up. overall its a clean car minus the touring wing (TO MUCH RICE FOR ME).

and paint ur kit. u look like a ricer (in my opinion). u know the ricers that role around with their unpainted kits and huge aluminum wings.

painted kit - the wing = one clean accord

urbanlegend21, thanks for your opinion... it's true that APR doesn't have a wind tunnel to design their aerodynamic parts like Mugen does but there has to be a reason why the Mugen JTCC accords have a touring style wing... forgive me for trying to imitate that concept... what car do you have..? if you think that i'm impressed that you have a faster car that can take about thirty seconds to tear mine to shreds on a racetrack, maybe you should live in a fantasy world also... was i supposed to give you props for that or bow down to you for having a faster car..? yea right... oh yea, i think you spelled "shreds" wrong...

H22aInside, it's true that the wing probably is considered rice to some people... but just because i have a unpainted (BLACK urethane kit) on a BLACK car, i don't think that's considered rice... don't you think you're being over-critical..? DID YOU KNOW that 94-97 accords come with unpainted stock lips in the first place... like i said, mine's not white, yellow, blue, etc... at least it's black like the car... thanks for your opinion about the wing but i think you're just being **** about the unpainted lip kit...

nah if the kit was supposed to be painted paint it. by not painting it u are talking the half *** route. do ur **** right the first time, trust me it will work out better for u in the future. thats unless u really like that fact that ur kit is not painted and clashes with the rest of the car.

in the end i really dont care, so if u want to role around in a semi-ricey looking accord go right ahead. (thats just my opinion)

i think you meant to say "roll around in a semi-ricey looking accord..." or unless you meant to say that i like to role-play a riceboy... and whose rule book said that the kit was supposed to be painted..? do you see a white, red, silver, sage green, etc., accord with a black lip kit..? i know for some people they're just bothered by "the fact that it's not painted..." personally, i think it looks pretty decent for now (i've got a black/black color theme going with the lip kit and the car... j/k...) until i can save up enough money for a paint job... but maybe you should get your eyes and/or your *** checked out... thanks again for your opinion-here's my opinion as well...

looking at one of your own posts, i guess you are one cocky sob... it's also ironic how you said, "i really liked honda-tech due the little amount of rice but it turns out their is just alot more ******** that ricers here on HT." also, having amber bumper and corner lens does not make them JDM Vision lens (like those on the 92-95 civics...) and are those DIY JDM headlights..? talk about doing your shiet right the first time...... don't worry bro-i'll get the wing and lip kit painted...
