    i have the same lip but i totalled it when i hit a snow bank. nice looking car but im not a fan of the rims. i like a more open style rims. which don't go that great with these cars since they have tiny little rotors in the front with ugly (damn it i can't think of the word. the breaks in the back)
    one of my 88 lx's is up for parts. good engine and transmission. pretty much everything is there. the fenders and hood are bad but other than that it's pretty good.

    RIP my beutiful 5g coupe. May the villans rot in hell!

    yea. my 94 accord came with 16 inch 5 spoke rims that look awsome. they are just a little beat up. im going to paint them and throw them on the 3 gee. i made them give me 4 new tires since tey were worn down to the radials. so those are my rims. this summer im going to pick out some new rims. not sure what though. if you have any idea tell me about it.

    dude this is gotta be close to the best upgrade for handling and take off, ( the rims and tires ) cuz the car is alot more responsive and loves corners, also when i go back to the track i should get better times since i get better traction.:super:

    came color as my car. one thing tho, why the hell are your wipers all jacked up? Your car would look a lot cleaner if you painted your wipers black(stock color) and put them down at the original height. Other than that your car is really nice.

    Nevermind. I didn't consider that his 94 Accord might have came with aftermarket rims that included 4x100mm and 113mm spacing

    Great looking ride. I love the lip and I think the wheels fit the car nicely. However, your front wheels are on backwards.
