need help with mods

[angelofdeath]

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!

I think you should go for 18" '04 TL A-Spec rims, maybe chrome them. They look awesome.

[angelofdeath]

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.

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:

Those rims look SO small around those thick tires and just plain small on your Accord. Are those 15's???

Planning on buying? :deal:

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]

hmmmm, will have to talk to Mich about working out a deal with her then..... :lmao: :deal: :nuts: :naughty: :joker:

Angel...you won't be disappointed w/ a JL Sub...

:confused:

I didn't say anything about Michelle.

[stiller fan]

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]

i know Darkriver! can't go wrong with JLs!

[darkriver4362]

The only drawback to them is they are heavy as all hell.

[angelofdeath]

i know they are.

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
