well this is my first thread on SW so sorry if it sucks lol. but i have a 96 accord wagon lx that is in the process of becoming stanced. its going to be a very slow build because im only 18 and my only source of income is from my snowball stand 
. but i have big plans for this car! so ill keep you updated with all future mods.
heres a pic of when i first got it. (parents have had it since 96
)
for the first year or so, i didnt really do much in terms of modification. i threw a bunch of stickers on the back (which are long gone) and added a hula girl up on the dash
when i learned about stanceworks and what not, i decided the first thing i needed was some new wheels.i didnt have a big budget for wheels, but my friend gave me a great deal on some JDM nissan 180sx rims. (yes they were actually imported from japan. they have the +42mm offset and the usdm 180sx rims had a +40). they had the same bolt pattern and were the same size as my steelies, so i just swapped the tires i already had over onto them. i also painted the wheels black and added a matte clear coat on top.
road like that for a while until i saved up for some lowering springs. had some friends help me with installing them. (dont you love when all the bolts break when you are taking stuff off?)
but heres a pic of the first day of being lowered...
then did some small stuff.
debadged back and got a new honda logo, (cuz mine fell off a while ago which left 2 holes in the trunk)
redid the grill. blacked out all the chrome and painted the logo white.
and thats about it for now. i did try on some new wheels, but i didnt like the way they fit. but i may consider buying them still and just getting larger tires.
let me know what you think...
so yeah. ill keep you updated with everything i do. feel free to leave suggestions!
heres some random pics from the last week or so.
pics with my friends jeep
