Update: Inspire fogs, new rims, hfp frp lip

So it's been a while for me but here's a few updated pics of my accord.

2006 LX i4 Sedan 78k miles.

Christmas photo lol



Inspires



Front before



After



Looks so much cleaner I think. Output is a lot Better too. Gotta fix the aim though they are too high.

New rims







So after getting the new rims I've decided that I really want to lower it. So my "coilover fund" has officially begun!

Let me know what you think. Love it hate it. Don't care cause I love it

Very nice Keith! I really like the Inspire fog lights...too bad mine is an '05

Haha it'll look great lowered just a bit. What are the specs and model of the wheels?

As I texted you, the Inspires really make a difference...and so will a drop! I like the wheels but right now she looks like she's floating in the clouds!

Who cares if Xmas if over...I say dress up like Santa and go stand outside of Wal*Mart ringing a bell with a bucket that says "Fried Chicken" on it - I guarantee you'll get people to donate money

Ben you're crazy! I'd get that bucket of fried chicken stolen quick around here. Haha

Even though the gap looks awful the car is sitting about 2" lower because of the lower profile tires.

Thanks mike! The rims are 17x7.5 I would have like to have gotten 18's but these will suffice the brand is DeCorsa. But the center caps are interchangeable so I'm gonna order some Honda ones that will fit

Here's a link to the website for the rims.

Thanks BC! The inspire fogs make the front end soooo much cleaner.

I rode in Moore.speed's/ Matt's 8th gen a few weeks ago and love the ride. He had Megan EZ coilovers that are fully adjustable damper and height (duh lol) so I did some searching and found that to get the Megan's it will be anywhere from 600-670 BNIB or teins for 700+. College student here so cheaper sounds better to me. Plus I had hands on experience with Matt's. I started stuffing the piggy bank today haha.

Me neither! They do look bigger for sure. I love em! It is exciting to think about. But unfortunately it might be awhile hopefully by summertime I can get them. I will have to get a camber kit too while I'm at it.

These are replicas I got off of eBay. I was actually searching for a normal replacement for my fogs cause the drivers side had recently taken a rock. So I literally searched 06-07 accord fog light and these came up.

I like those fog lights. I actually got the same ones off eBay I just haven't gotten around to putting them on. Your car looks good.....and it's gonna look better when you get the coilovers.

@inspire07: thanks! Yeah I was surprised how cheap they were for everything mounting brackets harness bulbs and all. But I didn't use the mounts. Had to cut so much just to get the darn things in there I couldn't use them. Yeah I can't wait for the coils never thought I'd want to drop my car so bad ha.

Du3ce- yes I do believe the v6 have 17's but they are 17x6 I think.

These are 17x7.5.

Dan- I think they look like a revamped version of the TL rims. But you are right they do kinda look like the type 3's. only the split spokes are closer together.

Thanks again y'all.
