Nice... But the fitment is not yet enough to make it feature worthy IMHO!

I'm really becoming a fan of Accords!

[Supleme]

No. It's a nice car but it's just a lowered Accord with BBS wheels and some ricer bolt ons. I don't think the wheels flow with this body style at all.

That's a pretty ignorant statement. All the parts on this car are OEM and $$$$$. While I agree that the wheels don't work with the car, the car itself is top notch, probably the nicest Accord coupe in this generation that I can remember seeing.

Pick a different set of wheels and then dial in the stance! Better yet, refurb them over the winter and resell them in the spring when everyone starts jerking off to RSs and make a profit on them!

[Supleme]

I shouldn't have said ricer. The parts are nice, but simple bolt ons. I'm just sick of seeing cars that have no originality or style other then coilovers and wheels. My city has too many followers and it seems every Tom, Dick and Harry has a slammed shit box and rims. I've been building cars for 20 years and I've never built a car to please another person. Do you really think that this Accord is well executed?

[kramerbuccs24]

I think the body is perfect, just like I said. It is the highest quality and best looking OEM parts from around the world, JDM/Euro/whatever, for that car. I see no need for some cRazY b0dy kitz on the car, it looks fine as it is. Like I said, I think he should refurb the wheels over winter, sell them for $$, then get better fitting (both in "fitment" and "fit the car") wheels, come back in the spring with the perfect Accord coupe.

its good to see you on here fred! obviously this thread became a ****/love thread for our accords eh? haha

[oloniccolo]

Simply put, Yes.


The jdm parts on this car are money. Not money that you, with all 20 years experience would understand or see, but to someone who actually knows these cars can appreciate.

Car looks good dude, Wheels arent there just yet, Something more agressive would really top off the look, But I like it either way!

avoiding my **** for these cars and simply going off stance. no i dont think its worthy.

the stance isnt on point or anything drastic
its not crazy lowered
not crazy flush, not even close to flush at all
no poke
no excessive camber to fit the wheels
-wheels are nothing special
no wide lips, crazy bolts or anything
dirty as fawk, not even fresh
not even good from a stock from BBS standpoint
tires are not stretched

so from a pure stanceforum opinion, i dont think its worthy. if someone here thinks its worthy, explain why. if your going to say because the body is" well done", remember: this isnt honda-tech, its stanceworks.

[fabfred]

thanks for all the love/****. no really i appreciate everones post. I did this more to get a opinion from others i dont want anyone mad at anyone.

I understand why people say hondas are ricey because for the most part they are but all my parts are OEM honda i can even get you part numbers

as for the bbs's i think they look good for what they are, there all stock and original hardware also there older than the accord.
obviously a slightly built bbs will look better, dont worry going to rebuild over the winter.

I know i have to work on my stance.

its a work in progress, this is my first car only had it for less then 2 years so i only been building cars for 2 years not 20 still a youngin not even old enough to buy me some beer lol

Thanks for the insight

I think it looks clean and not at all like you're trying to please others. I prefer a cleaner OEM look over the kids trying way too hard nowadays.

Supleme, show me where masses of people are slamming and throwing RSs on cars but keeping an OEM look and I'll move there. Where I live, everyone has a Civic or Integra on cut springs or racelands with faggot coloured wheels, subwoofers, and drift charms on fwd vehicles.

[fabfred]

yea not many look at an accord as a jdm build i mean im pretty sure im the only one in my area with an accord like this i never seen another one so i dont know who im following?

just wait till i get more rear... lol with a super rear edm setup with rebuild bbs and stanced then tell me who else is riding like me
