    Thanks. Got a chance to wash and polish it. Sadly the trunk is pealing, and the driver side rear quarter is too. However, good news is, she still purrs like a kitten at 181,400 on the odo.

    Shineyyyyy.


    You need better rims

    You could put trim rings too. Cheap and effective, just like this: http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x...x/DSC01759.jpg

    Thanks. I would need to get Honda center caps to pull of the rings.

    But yes, I do need wheels. Right now it needs struts and springs pretty bad as it rides like a boat. So hopefully, this summer I can get that taken care of and lower it while I am at it.

    if not for the fogs it would look bone stock in like 1990!

    ps, don't say you'll drive it into the ground or until the wheels fall off or anything of that nature. i've said both and both have happened. no joke.

    pss, i've got you some drop springs. pm me

    Something that helped mine in regards to handling like a boat was a rear sway bar off of a Acura Vigor. I can go around the interstate cloverleafs at 60 with my tires howling. Too fun. It puts an end to the leaning. Enjoy your Accord.

    Already have LX-i front and rear sway bars. Also have rear disk brakes to stop it.


    Oh and thanks!
