View Full Version : need help with mods
angelofdeath 01-17-2006, 03:46 PM sup guys! i'm tryin to get my girl's 05 4dr accord some rims and some drop springs. i just need i little bit of help here. since her car is black, i'm lookin at some 17" black w/ polished lip rims ( still haven't decided on what brand wheels) and Tein s-tech drop. what do u guys think? i'm more lookin at the more "simple" but "wow" look. of course ride comfort is something i'm lookin at also. are there any pics out there that u guys can show me just to give me an idea on what i'm gonna be dealing with. thanks guys!
BenjiBoy650 01-17-2006, 04:28 PM I think you should go for 18" '04 TL A-Spec rims, maybe chrome them. They look awesome.
angelofdeath 01-18-2006, 08:09 AM those are Acura rims right? they look really nice but kinda expensive!! i like the gunmetal color.

Hey, black on black look will look nice. I have some silver 17" MR7's, my best friend has some black ones on her black 2001 2 Door...they look pretty decent.
You can't go wrong with Tein....everyone who has bought their adjustable coilovers that I've known have loved them. I've known a few who have had other brands, rode in a car with Tein equipment, then sold their stuff for some Teins.
Will look nice man.
04blkpearlcoupe 01-18-2006, 12:38 PM I's just like to suggest some gunmetal rims instead of black w/ polished lips. I think gunmetal looks about 10x's better. Thats why I have a set. :)

Yeah they might get pricey...kinda separates the people who are just playin around and the ones who really want a unique but not ricey car :yes:

Accord4Life 01-24-2006, 01:57 PM Those rims look SO small around those thick tires and just plain small on your Accord. Are those 15's???
stiller fan 01-24-2006, 02:00 PM You could always get 24" spinners like stillerfan has.... :dunno:
and TV screens in the back of the front headrests, like you have!!! :rolleyes: ;) :nuts:
EXLNavi 01-24-2006, 02:01 PM Whoa guys.... the bling belongs to ME.
stiller fan 01-24-2006, 02:05 PM not for long.... :lmao: :nuts:
EXLNavi 01-24-2006, 02:20 PM not for long.... :lmao: :nuts:
Planning on buying? :deal:
stiller fan 01-24-2006, 02:22 PM you already know my plan...... and it doesn't involve "buying" one either.... :naughty: :nuts:
EXLNavi 01-24-2006, 02:26 PM you already know my plan...... and it doesn't involve "buying" one either.... :naughty: :nuts:
Borrowing requires a willing lender. In this case, not me. :lmao:
There are only a few people I trust enough to drive my car with me in it (well, most times anyway), far less lend it to someone. :lmao:
stiller fan 01-24-2006, 02:27 PM hmmmm, will have to talk to Mich about working out a deal with her then..... :lmao: :deal: :nuts: :naughty: :joker:
darkriver4362 01-25-2006, 09:55 AM and TV screens in the back of the front headrests, like you have!!! :rolleyes: ;) :nuts:
W/ PS2.....lol
Angel...you won't be disappointed w/ a JL Sub...
EXLNavi 01-25-2006, 10:27 AM hmmmm, will have to talk to Mich about working out a deal with her then..... :lmao: :deal: :nuts: :naughty: :joker:
:confused:
I didn't say anything about Michelle.
stiller fan 01-25-2006, 11:58 AM never said that you did.....
this is the way that i look at it: if she can borrow your car for a little bit, i can borrow it off of her.... :naughty: :lmao: ;)
angelofdeath 01-25-2006, 04:31 PM i know Darkriver! can't go wrong with JLs!
darkriver4362 01-26-2006, 05:32 AM The only drawback to them is they are heavy as all hell.
angelofdeath 01-26-2006, 02:26 PM i know they are.
satanzrejekt 03-05-2006, 12:08 PM Good ride with the Tein's
but depending on what kinda look you want
you can go with 18s or 19s,
However, if you put only the Tein drop, you'll be left with some gaps still
I currently carry Teins and 19s, comfortable ride and good center of gravity when doin turns
my $0.02
