So about a couple weeks back i was debating to sell the car and i was very very close.....but i decided im gonna run it to the ground and mod the shit out of it so here are some pics of her now before she undergoes the changes because they will be very noticable changes and it will look like a different car within the next couple months.......she may not be done til around winter time i have to see how the cash flow goes....so here it is......and yes im still missing my stock drivers side sideskirt so if u feel like being kind you can send it ill pay for the shipping lol











Objects In Mirror Are Losing:

 

Good luck with that man, when you get a lip you'll have to park on the street.

 

Yeah, good luck with the project...ur gonna have to do some good angling to get that car in/out the driveway when u SLamm it... latahh

 

good luck with ur plans bro, bet its gonna be sweet....so r u gonna let us in on ur plans? maybe a little? haha j/k can't wait to see the results, and have fun doin it ...btw plat that avatar pic is $ick

 

yo steve. want me to flip you a couple bucks?? lol

 

lol @ taking pics on a driveway to make the car seem lower

 

cant wait to see the after pics, keep us posted!

 

I've decided to go the same route. I debated on going and picking up a Civic SI but i have a feeling i will really miss the TL. Rims, drop, mudflaps painted to match all coming soon!

What are your plans?

 

Good luck, buying stuff is always fun. I know I had a blast in the past few months

 

thanks everyone.....lol yea i know when i slam it i wont even be able to get up in the driveway with or without a lip i scrape now and im only on H&R Sports without a kit so imagine when i upgrade to the coilovers how it would be


KLepto: i took them on the driveway to show how it is coming out on springs so when i get coilovers i can show how it is with those because i dont plan on getting a kit for the car...

as far as telling you guys what it is lol ill show you a little something once i get the photoshop pics of it all i will say is im doing a new paint job and a couple other things lol

 

yo steve hit me up. i wanna kno 2 nukka

 

alright slight change of plans lol i highly doubt i will be doing a brand new color when it comes to paint job......reason why is because it would be too much of a hassle so i was thinkin maybe id just paint the car the same color but add a little something extra....as far as slammin it im gonna go with some coilovers but not tein because they dont go low enough.....like i said i plan on taking a different route with the car.....rim wise do you guys think i should go with 18's or 19's???

also are there any other colors you would recommend besides black, gunmetal, or chrome??

here are the choices of rims so far i narrowed it down to 4 choices:

TSW Rocket 5 (black)



Axis Hagens (Chrome)



Axis Hiro (anthracite)



Racing Hart CR (black)

 

i cant see the pics of your car for whatever reason but if i had a choice ide go 19 with air ride. im not really into any of those wheels but wheels are tough, its really preference. ide suggest looking at MRR wheels(im bias of course). they have some dope rims at very good prices and the right offsets. also i was looking for the hayames to send you a link and it looks like they may have been disconinued?
here the link http://www.mrrwheels.com/index.html

 

axis hagens

 

Hiro

 

actually i found some sites where they had the hayames for the 98-02 accords i was going to go ahead with those but over at .net there is a group buy for omni sport coilovers are they any good???...hmm ill look into the MRR wheels to see what they have to offer...the reason i made this choice of rims is because i dont see many people on the streets with them well at least here in jersey lol.....here is the link to the pics of my car again

BTW: The MRR GT-1's look hot

http://www.acurainspired.com/gallery...=1313&aid=1890

 

my boy had them on a civic and the quality was awesome but the ride was rough. he also had the track version not the street so im not sure. ive heard good things though.

 

Hagens, but I thought they were discontinued.

 

oh shit they are discontinued lol i just checked....im not too sure i like the hagens because i want some type of lip on the rims lol


yea i heard a couple good things about the omni's.....do the hayame coilovers come with pillow mounts??.....hayames drop 4 inches right

 

get some Works or SSR's straight up

 

get 18s. 19s ur bend them on nj roads son. esp since you drive alot. hagens are discontinued for sure. i checked already. get the CRs in 18s 1 piece. do you really need a 2 piece wheel? save the money for something else.

the TSWs are hot but look at the spokes. they go out to the outside of the rim. hit a curb and your rim will be f#@ked uppp

tru tru mikey plus ill be able to go lower with 18's lol yea the hagens are discontinued i think the CR's are for sure but the two piece looks hot as hell lol

how about some racing hart c4's two piece??

 

i think im just gonna look into volk racing rims any suggestions as far as which model looks best on the TL

 

i like the axis penta & decade

 

Hiros or SSR GT3's...

 

yea plat i was looking at those they are official

 

im not a big fan of those they look pretty good but i rather something with a lip

 

what is the most common offset for our cars anyway??

 

hey wats up, long time no talk, i havent been on the forums much,, anyways I say go for the axis hiros or volk te37, both would look sick!! but u gotta get a lip kit!!! please get that before u get rims!!

 

dont go lower then 45 on a dropped car.

 

on an 18 everyone tries going +48, 18x7.5 is ideal. i dont rub at all. im not sure how low the hayames actually can go, says 0-4 but i think honestly think it can go lower. im also not sure about the pillow mount but im pretty sure they do, if the pillow mount is considered the top hat of the spring. its a total replacement coilover. all stock comes out and these go right in.

 

I'm almost positive the Hiros come in an 8.5" width and the offset is too low. If you slam the car they are gonna rub. Well either that or you're gonna have ridiculous camber issues.


I got a set of mint Racing Hart C2 3-piece wheels in my garage collecting dust.

 

slam it and get Cl-S rims and call it a day.

 

Sum racing hart C2's or C4's..they got a nice lip on em too..

 

you can go +42 and up on a 18X7.5 rim wit 225/40 tire. dats my size and i rub 1 or twice a day. use a dremel and shave off the tab and youll have no rubbing.

 

thanks everyone for the feedback lol i dont wanna get a lip kit because i wanna do the slammed look without a lip kit.........everyone who slams their car has lip kit and i want to slam mine without one.....i received the photoshops of what i wanted paint to look like and i will post them in in about a hour or so to get your opinions on that as well

 

Good shit. Be Different.

 

iight guys heres the photoshop of the car with the paint which is suppose to be 2000 honda civic si blue and then a photoshop of the drop im looking to get...i wanna say thanks to Nick (RelentlessOne) and my boy Adrian (sittinlow) for the photoshops

Slammed: yea i know i wont be able to turn but illl take care of that but heres the idea



Paint Choices (help me decide choose one):

option 1:


option 2:

option 3:


option 4:


option 5:



BTW: i know Z3Ro has done the black hood and stuff but he took it all the way back which is something iam not doing because i also plan on having the hood wrapped later on so this will only be temporary i also have a few more things up my sleeves so we'll see how it goes but it will take some time.....please choose which option you guys like best i personally like 2 and 5 but dont know if i should repaint the car blue or keep it the original color.

 

i wasnt going to show u guys these until i finished the car but i figured i wouldnt tease plus i needed opinion cuz this is a tough decision but we'll see where i take it
