Nice clean start! At least it's a 5spd..... Most can't say that...

[oneoffaccord]

that bitch is very clean for the year. i do say that i hate that interior color , i had it on my last cb. when you are ready to buy wheels andtires make sure that you get a good size tire (ex.205/4017) thats so you wont have such a thick tire then regret it later.



check out my ride

[N9netwoAccord]

nice start... future plans?

[HondaGuy1212]

lookin good

[mondojackal]

my short scope plans are to get:
some wheels:
ICW Racing Stillettos 18x7.5
and tires:
BF Goodrich g-Force 215/40R18
and lowering springs:
Eibach Sportline (those are the 2' ones, right?)
and lowered shocks:
Tokico Illumina 5-Way Adjustables
and after that i dunno
i might paint my bumpers to match body color
i forgot..lol i also want to get a carbon fiber hood, preferably OEM style, unless someone can give me a link to a relatively inexpensive CF hood that has some vents or something, but i dont want to go too radical and disrupt my car's lines...

oneoffaccord...i know, thats the worst interior color ever.. ..like what colors to go on interior stuff, you cant mix and match maroon colors, and unless you specifically match it, its gonna look cheesy ..lol
and i sure dont want that
thanks for the comments guys...makes me feel good about my car...

I would go with a 215/35r18 not a 215/40r18

[mondojackal]

i dunno....the roads around here are too rough to be running too little sidewall...i dont want one of my rims to get bent...i'd rather go with a 40-series tire

[dwsaccord]

nice good platform to start with at least its a 5sp to start with

[snailin91]

i dont know, i would prolly go with a 17" with a 205-40-17. if you are worried about road conditions. i can simpathise. same roads over here. and the size above is what i run in the summer..

[mondojackal]

bump...
i want some more people to comment...

[chile]

at least i don't see any cancer spots...i think it'll clean up good.

I'm going to get a custom box soon, both subs flanking the amp rack for the amps and the crossover...gonna be pimp!

[mondojackal]

let me know what you guys think about the system!

[deckeda]

Whoa, wait a sec, mondojackal. Your first "mod" might be to get a new driver's side headlight. Take another look --- see how it's brownish, not as clear as the passenger side? Somehow the seal is probably broken or there's a crack and it's taken on water or air.

And do some searching here for other DX models --- some are just stunning. What I'm suggesting is, embrace what you have first and keep what's black, black. There are plenty of LX/EX around; why replicate that? Yours is actually kind of rare when you think about it.

IMO each well thought-out car has a sort of theme, and if I had a 5-sp DX the theme I'd go for would be to embrace the black you have and put maybe some black rims or black and chrome rims on to go with that.

You already mentioned a CF hood; that falls right in line with the rest I think.
