Hi guys!

I got 2012 Honda Accord Sedan V6 (silver color). I like it, but I want my car to look more aggressive, so I started with watching pics with different sport wheels, but I don't like most of the wheels that I saw online.

Also most of pics of Accords that can be found online are Accords Coupes. So, it's hard to imagine how that wheels will look when they are on my Sedan.

For example, I don't like the front grill and rims on this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dR1n...eature=related

At this time I would like to change: 1) Wheels and 2) Exhaust mufflers and tips and 3) Lights, but later.

I liked this car: http://www.vossenwheels.com/CarGalle...VSCV1-406.aspx

Regarding that car: it has 20" wheels. That car is so low that I wonder if I would damage front bumper while leaving my condo's garage...

So, guys do you have any ideas on what to do with Accord V6.

Here is my Accord:

20" vossen wheels does look great. That reference pic you provided has an aftermarket kit which makes the accord look lower. You should be fine at your condo.

Nice drop and wheels. Your accord is v6 and it has the chrome door handles and trim. Paint it black and also I would paint the grill black. Atleast the two chrome pieces below the top part of the grill. Just cleaning it up with all the bling.

It's your decision and just giving ideas.

Thank you!

Actually at this time I don't want to paint that chrome parts. But I found some new links:

http://seriousinnovations.com/dynami...spired-strory/

So, I wonder why that guys don't even install 18" or 19" rims. My accord has 17" and I'd like to see how it will look like with some intermediate sizes like 18" and 19". I definitely like Vossen rims now more than TSW.

So, maybe I should search for Honda Inspire parts, because I like how that Accords look like. One thing I noticed - that guys still ride with default exhaust.

I saw the baddest v6 accord in Abu Dhabi, and it was the same color as the one above. It had nothing more then wheels, tint and lowering springs. These 3 things can make a day & night difference in a car, and for a brand new car like this I wouldnt do more then this.

I agree.

But I wonder if I really need to low the car? Why that guys with 20" rims lowed their cars?

BTW, who knows what exhaust mufflers and tips can be installed on sedan? I watched a lot of videos and most of them are either coupes or old accords. I wonder if I can use any kind of aftermarket mufflers and tips without removing the stock rear bumper?

I contacted Vossen and they told me that those pics of cool accords are local pics and the cars were build by Miami Power Wheels, so since Im living in Miami I will try to pass by that guys and look for what they can do. BTW, when I called them they confirmed that they are able to do all that stuff.

So, I wonder how much they will ask for something like this:

BTW, I can tell you that I like those pics where cars are not lowed, i.e.:

http://www.vossenwheels.com/CarGalle...VSCV1-330.aspx
http://www.vossenwheels.com/CarGalle...VSCV1-321.aspx
http://www.vossenwheels.com/CarGalle...VSCV1-545.aspx

So I doubt that I will like my Accord to be lowed...

If it were mine I would

-lightly tint window
-a-spec wheels
-oem bodykit
-adjustable suspension
-cold air intake

That's about it for a 4cyl accord.

Please could you explain what you mean, because I don't understand what does A-spec wheels mean regarding accord. And Vossen wheels - are they A-spec or not?

Aslo do you mean some particular oem bodykit?

It would be great if you submit couple pics.

Thank you!

What an ugly Toyota))

In a week I will try to pass by that company which builds cars with Vossen wheels and try to figure out how much it will cost to me to do anything with my car. I guess I need tint, since sun is too hot here in FL.

BTW, I recently found that Japan Honda Inspire is a bit enhanced US Honda Accord.

But I wonder where to get Inspire parts. I want at least too:

1) Side mirrors with lights. I also heard that those mirrors also fold.
2) Tail red lights. Unfortunately, the horizontal red tail lights don't light in US Accord, but in Japanese Inspire they DO!
