looks good bro what did you do with the clear diffusers? next mod go lower and paint your calipers, then it would be really clean.

Looking good man! I can't wait to get my front lip on

Like others have said, with those bigger wheels, it needs to be dropped a little more. Are you on springs or coilovers?

And I would paint your calipers black. I did mine black and they look great. I think red would take away from the wheels

You should get a set of coilovers. They are pricey compared to just springs, but they are fully adjustable so you don't get stuck with one ride height.

Black would be subtle and cover up the nasty and probably dirty stock calipers. That's what I did.

Are you talking about the chrome Type-S grill?

And if you want fogs, you would need to add a set of Accord fogs. You would have to cut the lower grills and retrofit them in. Search around for members cars with the Accord fogs installed. I was going to do it but I decided I liked the clean and uncluttered look

Great minds think alike!

OP: Car looks great. The ass-end looks a little plain without the Acura symbol, but clean nonetheless. Good work!

Nice ride but it looks a lot higher than stock to me. Get a good drop to set it off right. Even with crappy streets, there are suspension systems out there that will drop your ride to a good height without compromising ride quality.

BTW, love the Type-S headlights. That's next on my "short" to-do list.

There are lowering springs, oem replacement shocks, adjustable shocks, coilovers and air.

price (least -> most expensive) and adjustability (none -> on the fly)
springs -> shocks -> coilovers -> air
