Seeing the back of the hood jacked up like that drives me crazy, no matter how much cooling it adds.

He should have opened the hood to show off the 3.5!

His last set of wheels looked better too.

I like the wheels and the drop, but the front lip and rear bolt on fender mods really kill it for me. the hood is also odd, but like others said, to each their own.

How the hell did he go from that first set of great wheels to those goofy ass looking wheels? I hate 3 spoke wheels with a passion.

I knew that I knew the car, but the new rims threw me off, definitely should have shown off the engine

I honestly love this car, except for the wheels. The seat looks pink in the pic and the other little bits i actually like.

I like what he tried to do, just the execution is sloppy. A lot of add on bits without the proper bodywork done.

Other than the wheels the outside isnt that bad, fitment looks good. To much going on inside though.

The fitment looked great in person. The wheels just ruined the package for me.

That's how I feel about it. I can appreciate the time and money put into it but it just didn't work.

I actually dont mind the hood like that when its not so tall, his is a little overkill.

In other pictures I thought his cl looked good but, that is just wrong in so many ways.
The book value of our cl's just dropped.

Obviously haven't seen this car in person but... If he's put so much work into it, you'd think the floormats would be from a CL, not an Accord.

Ok those rims are pretty bad, and he has one with an unpainted lip so he can put a sticker
