^^ like a few days ago haha.

to give you performance ideas it would help to know what kind of car you have....auto vs mt. auto performance mods will only make you feel a little better but if you're going for massive gains it won't be there.

3rd cat being hfc or straight will not give you much performance gain.

i'd start with a jpipe and then if you really want some more power up top, get the HFPCs. that's about as far as i would go if i had an 04-06 like you

There's no JDM variant of the 3G TL, so +1 on removing the H center caps.
But hey, that's just my personal opinion. You're free to modify your car however you'd like.

Well, if it's built up to the point of moisture, you might as well crack em open and clean up up and reseal...mod them as you see fit while at it.
Or contact Bruce Ack05TL if he's still doing them.

I did know what you meant because I've installed a few of those and had the accord fogs before that.

instead of the center cap replaced all 4 wheels. I dig the look. Just need to get coils. So I can have that agressive look..

Take the fog light plug out , they dry right up.
sealed lights are stupid. needs airflow in there, damn near every other headlight is vented . you can take the Oring off the fog plug and pop them in if you want as well. just needs to breathe a little.

turn signals are easy. couple clips in the wheel well and pull back the liner, then it's right there

paint those calipers.

Before.. to current setup

Traded varrstoen es2 17x9 for f1r f17 18x8.5F/9.5R.. any suggestions on tires to run.. going to roll fenders hopefully tomorrow if its not raining.





Not a huge fan on the 10 spoke. Miss the 5- 6 spoke look prefer that tbh.. but wanted a more agressive fitment. Passnger rear is partially rolled.

Hmm?

Current setup, think I've found the fitment and look. Not so much color thinking of powder coating black. Wheels need to repainted regardless. But 300 bucks is a steal

like the style of the wheels and it's massive concave look in the rear but thats way too much lip being exposed for my own taste but they do look good though.. now all you need is a better full shot of your ride with the new setup, those last 3 pictures probably dont do justice for your ride

I wouldn't do black...they'll get lost on the car and they look good.
