    Need ideas

    I've recently been gifted a 1989 Honda Accord SE-i. I was going to leave the paint as is to give off the Wabi-Sabi look. For those that to not know what that is, Wabisabi represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete". I planned on getting some 15x9 wheels & lowering it on coilover sleeves, about 3 or 4 inches. I'm all for the JDM look. Anyone have any other ideas for the car?

    if you dont fix that rust it's going to spread,look or no look, if you want to retain the look of weathered paint, maby find a hood the same color and swap it out, if you cant find a hood, clean up the rust and maby paint it a flat black or something that way it will retain the look you want, but will stop the progression of the rust, and will quickly weather

    I don't think 15x9 wheels will fit. 15x8 should though. Welcome!
