Sideskirts ordered!!

finally getting some things done now that we're back from our cruise...
hopefully get the rear next week (although it will need to be painted)

figured i'd start putting together my lip kit since they are becoming extint... coilovers arent going anywhere soon

 

^ Which rear lip and side skirts are you going with? The 03-05 or 06-07?

BTW the front lip looks awesome! That's the one mod I considered but never got around to doing on mine. Changes the whole look of the car. Way more aggressive now!

 

Very nice original 6th gen! I still think it's one of the best Honda designs ever. It's a shame they never made a manual 6 cylinder for it.

 

after LONG debate, i decided to go with the 03-05 sides b/c i felt that they flowed better with the lines of the front and rear lip.

after very little debate, i decided to use the 06-07 rear lip
when it comes in, if i cant get it to fit to my liking on my existing bumper, i'll just buy the 06-07 one.

sucks that i have to get it painted though, the 06-07 didnt have SSM.

 

That's the combo I would have gone with as well! Very nice!!!

As far as the rear lip goes, you should be able to fit it on your bumper as is. I've seen plenty of people do it on V 6 P. It's going to look sick!!!

 

yea i've been exchanging messages with one member with the rear setup im looking at...

from his pictures it looked just fine, he would always say there was a tiny gap on the corners but if it looks anything like the pics he sent me, im going to be one happy camper...

so after the kit is all installed, its gonna be coilovers, wheels, and a few bolt-ons.. and DONE!

cant wait to see it all come together.

 

I wish Honda made OEM side skirts and rear lip for the Accord sedans like Toyota does for the Camrys.

 

it is kind of wierd they only make the front...

 

member on (a website that is owned by the same company as this one so i dont know why you filter the name out) VEEsixPEE posted some new pics this morning.

REALLLY making me consider getting the 7.0 lip instead of the 7.5

 

Thanks, guys. It's at 176,000 now.

Rockstar - Both yours and the above car look great, although I'm not much of a fan of tinted tails.

 

dont worry, i will NEVER black out my tail lights..

honda has been making great looking lights for a while now, there is almost never a better alternative to their stock lights.

 

That rear end looks great, except the tinted tails.

 

i fix it.

 

In all honesty, I hate the taillights on the 03-05 coupes. But it looks much nice on the rear end that you posted. Well, your taillights anyways.

Have you thought about picking up the 06-07 rear bumper and taillights, if you decided to go with the 06-07 lip?

 

Fixed.

06-07 accord coupe/sedan taillight >

 

If you replace the taillights and bumper with the 7.5 gens you'll need to replace the trunk lid too since the gaps will be way off with the 7 gen trunk.

I wasn't a big fan of the stock taillights on the 03-05 coupes myself that's why I got the Eagle Eye LEDs for mine.

 

^^ i would buy those if the LED pattern followed the shape of the light..


i've considered it, but i like my cars to have spoilers.. and those rear ends look better without them... and the spoiler itself is pretty agressive. i like the subtleness of mine.

i do like the 06-07 tail lights better though....

possibly down the road!

there are definitely a few exceptions over the years

i pretty much hated all civic sedan tails though the 90's and early 2000's..

 

anyone got any 7gen+ V6 stock wheels for sale in So cal.

I am sick of seeing my hubcaps.

 

Have you seen 3rd gen TL wheels on these cars? I think they look fantastic, probably a little easier to find too. Black Market is probably full of them.

 

Even the TL-S wheels look great on the Accord. Which is funny because they look like poop on the TL-S

 

love these too.

 

They width and offset on those are slightly too aggressive for my accord. I am not trying to Mod it. I am just trying to make it look less CHEAP.

I love the looks of these:

 

IIRC the TL wheels are +45mm, not agressive at all, especially if you aren't dropped.

 

Yes and i believe they are 8.5" wide and i would have to put 235 tires to avoid the stretched look.
If the accord offset is anything like 2nd CL, which i believe it is. Then 17x8.5 with 45mm offset and 235 tires is considered semi aggressive and the tires will be sticking out from the fender, unless i lower it.

u know the look when u have aggressive wheel and not lowered ...

 

Only the A-Specs are 8.5" wide (and only for the 04 TL oddly enough, in 05 they went with an 8" wheel).

The base model TL wheels are either 7.5 or 8" wide. I want to say 7.5. And yes, the standard Accord wheels are +55mm.

Ive run many different offsets on my CL, and the TL wheels were the least aggressive of them all. Most of the people Ive seen with Accords and TL wheels seem to run spacers to make them seem aggressive.

Either way, Im sure you can find a relatively clean set of whichever wheels you want on CL or v 6 p.

 

bases are 7.5 and "most" aspics are 8".. 8.5 is rare.

both will fit nicely on the 7th gen sedan

 

Guess it depends on what look you're going for. Personally, I think the 9 spokes of the V6 AT is a bit much. The 6MT 5 spokes are great, so are the the 4 cylinder alloys.

 

I could have swore the 3G TL stockies were 17x8. Meh, whatevzzzzz

 

Stock 04-08 TL wheels are 17 x 8 with a +45 offset. The Aspecs are 18x8 for the TL and ONLY Gunmetal A-Specs for the 2004 production run were 18x8.5

 

well son of a bitch

 

...and when I had my 07 AV6, they were a PITA to clean.

 

heres my 7th gen:

 

sideskirts, check.

 

^like I said on v6

nice!!!!

 

now get them things on! LOL!

 

I wish it wasn't 100 degrees outside, bc if i remember right, my TL's sideskirts were a bitch!!

 

Thats just absolutely amazing.

 

^^^X2 and I need those low miles.

 

So fresh so clean!

 

sideskirts on.
