Today was bitter sweet. When i walked outside I knew this was the last time the accord and TL would be in one driveway.




I drove ol betsy to a local used car dealership to sell. I bought her almost 6 years ago with some serious front end damage and a cracked block. It was the biggest and most nerve wrecking project we ever done and maybe that is why i was so attached to it. But change is good and who ever buys it will love it just like I did.

 

Go for #3

 

Nice looking Accord....sorry she's going to be gone.

 

Ordered a full oem lip kit today, should be here Wednesday.

Also my spacers came in. I ordered 20mm Akata's.

Here are few after shots.

 

Looks good...but now you definitely need a drop!

 

lol for sure. Starting to look for some Tein SS coils

 

Great pics by the way! What kind of camera did you use?

 

Canon 60D for those.

 

nice build thread..some coils and lip kit and car will be looking on point!

 

I like the spacers. Little things like that make a big difference.

 

Definitely need 19" Vossen's and drop!!!

Дай знать если будешь продавать оригинальные колеса...

 

Thanks guys.

20" vossen cv5 is still the plan. I'm keeping original rims for a winter set up. Wanna throw some serious winter tires on them for the lake effect snow we get in my parts.

 

That's what I'm planning as well, already bought 18" Blizzaks for ski season

 

Not a fan of slammed cars BUT a nice drop (~1.5") would make her look sick, especially with the spacers.

Keep up the good work!

 

Tight 4x4, dude.

 

Thanks bro, glad u like it.

 

any vibration from the spacers? i considered the akatas but went with the motorsport techs which cost a fair amount more IIRC....

 

My drive to work consists of a 3 mile highway ride 60-70mph. Absolutely no vibrations on the way work n back today, feels just like stock. I'm retourqing them tomorrow just to be safe.

 

Also check the wheel cavities when you have the wheels off to see if the stock studs are having contact or not. I noticed that issue with my Akata 20mm spacers, but with the 2012+ SH wheels.

 

I'm giddy like a lil girl over here Got the back lip today and just let it rest on the exhaust to snap a pic...love it! Waiting for the rest of the kit and then my buddy and I will install it.

 

It just looks better and better! Keep up the good work.

I have a dumb question though. What is the benefit of the spacers? I'm not trying to be sarcastic, I keep hearing about them and am curious, and wondering if I should get them.

 

Love how rear lip looks on 4G 09-11 years....

 

Was going to wait til the full kit was here to install it but couldn't wait. Hour n a half and two beers later.




Love it.

 

Very nice!

 

looks great!

 

Wow, looks great!

 

nice. makes it look like those tips fit like oem now

 

Great looking pics! The car is coming along nicely.

 

Yes, thank you. People were concerned about tips sticking out too much when I first put the exhaust on but I did it with the lip kit in mind. Now it's perfect. Once I get the rest of the lip on ill post some side pics.

 

Everything looks great-congrats.

 

Well the time is approaching, I'm planning on buying wheels and coilovers over the next few months and Im already set on coils Tein SS. I also know the size of wheel and tire ill be going with 10.5 all around with 255/35/20. The only remaining question is what wheels? I do have my mind set on Vossens, the most expansive "cheap" (cast iron) wheel on the market lol. I like their designs and dont mind a heavier rim. There are two different designs that are stuck in my head and I already bugged the crap out of my colleagues for opinions and would like to see what you guys think.



TOP or BOTTOM?

CV4 vs CV3

 

Go with the CV4. Everyone else on here has the CV3.

 

CV3 looks better also easier to clean.

 

also 10.5 all around gives it a better look

 

i would go with the CV5 if it was my car! i think that design is dope!

 

i would go with cv5 but the gunmetal ones.you probably dont want to since in the pic the rims look great with the window trim....car is coming along fresh keep it up,good luck on your future mods

 

I like the rear lip kit, will look awesome when you get time to install the front and sides. I like both vossen wheels. CV3's are aggressive for sure.

This thread = WINNING!....

 

Sorry, but the CV3's just look great on a 4G TL.

 

Looking great! Keep it up!

 

Hate working on Sundays specially when its dreary out. I do enjoy looking out the window from time to time though put side skirts on the other night, picking up the front lip tomorrow and putting it on first thing in the morning.
