I don't think any of us could afford many mods at 18/19. But that photo wasn't from an actual meet. From what I remember Kevin and I were just chillin with two other AZ members and decided to take some photos.

Finally found a bright license plate LED... It only took me 5 weeks and $50 dollars or so. Let's just say I have a tool box full of LEDs.

I have some other projects in mind, but I'm working on house projects too so we will see what comes around. Thinking about new wheels and a drop.

You'd be a fool to sell them. Do what J did with his A-Specs and keep them mint and on hand. You'll thank me in a year or two.

The rear in sport looks very high end in person. Have you thought about painting the lower middle black? (or wrap) might give it a more sporty look.

Not sure.

Kevin Flipster.
We need more actual conversation. You've been very distant and *mature*. You keep this up and we'll end up divorcing you.

That is all.

Oh, and sell those wheels...I actually don't like them too much. I saw another newer accord and loved the wheels much more.

They do look good. But they look like they came from the SUV, did he have to change the bolt pattern and stretched tires?

They did come from an SUV. They're MDX wheels.

Building, well not really its going to be pretty basic. But the audio system in the Accord is boring.

Going with a Polk DXI104 (that I never installed)
Polk DB650 interior speakers
Audiocontrol LCi6
Amp (not sure yet, maybe a 5 channel)

Then after that coils...

You're doing it wrong.

Bolt pattern was the same, pretty certain.

What if I told you that I maybe able to do it all at once.... But you know I'm putting shame to my people.... The audio should be the first thing. 2-3 12s slappin' in da trunk...

Diode dynamics is what I went with, you can search by far for everything that they carry and if you tell them your a member on drive accord you get free shipping..Jeremy posted a link to a direct swap one a page or 2 back..
