This pic was taken in 1996, when my bro still had his 89 Accord. You can see my car, I had just gotten my 7 star platinum rims. All I had then was the rims, tint, and sunroof. My bro is the reason I bought my 89 Accord. I wanted to be just like him. Back in 1994 when he was in highschool, it was the coolest thing to have 14" chrome wheels, lol. As time goes on you all have noticed how they just get bigger. Mods he did were, 14" chrome wheels, lowered 1.5" by Eibach, tinted windows, sunroof, OEM foglights, sound system, pinstripe, alarm. It was very clean for its time. He then sold it in 97 and got his teg, and now has his RSX S. But here is a pic of it. I'll scan more soon.

Yeah, looks clean (other than the rally car fog lights) They would fit better if you painted the car WRX blue, and wrote SUBARU on the side of the car in big yellow letters.

those lights are OEM. Many people considering haveing all of the OEM parts as the only way to compleatly restore a car. Damn Mike... that pic was from before you had your drop too!! Thats awesome that you and your bro had the same car. Looks good. :)

my girlfriend has those lights and they look pretty normal on her car. it's an 88 coupe, all stock. maybe that picture is just wierd. they don't seem to stand out on her car at all.

Back in 94 there weren't very many options for fog lights anyway. That is about the time that they came out with the first sets of PIAAs and not many people were willing to spend $350 for them.
I hear you about having 14 in 1994. I got my 16s in early 95 and I was the king. All I was pissed that I had spent all my money on the paint job and all the attention was on the wheels.

If I look at some of my old lowrider books from 93-97 all the rims stop at like 16-17.

yeah I see tons of them too but 90% are beat to hell. I wish people would stop using them as beaters and start taking care of them. Mine is the cleanest that I have seen in my town.

Yeah I guess it's just time that does it to them and the people that own them. I would say 70% in my town are beat up or trashed. I know quite a few people with stock 3rd gens who take care of them, but most are beatup. Then theres the select few that are hooked up, and nice.
