GetFRESH!

So after years of wanting one of these things... and coming to grips with the idea of getting rid of my hatch, I've finally found myself in a CE1.
Went out and snapped a few quick pics after a wash and this was the outcome.
Not wanting to go crazy with things... no overly huge/wide wheels, no kit, no 5-speed, no go-fast parts. Just wanted something clean, solid, dependable and different.
Comments/critiques welcome. :cheers:

I love the overall look of this car. My only criticism is the wheel choice...too big of a rim on this type of car IMO, it looks unnatural with so little rubber. Other than that, the car looks really good.

Thanks for the kind words guys :goodjob:

Not arguing with you there, it is still just a Honda and yes it's all been done before... but for every one Accord wagon you pass on the streets, you see 18,276 Civics, so visually it's a little less commonplace relatively speaking.

Man I had such a hard time with the 17"/18" debate, but after months of comparing hundreds of different setups, I decided overall 17's fit the CD chassis better and 18's for the CE. I think the rear end tends to make 17's look way too small on these. Honda made the wheel well arches huge on 5th gens and with the wagon especially, I feel like it needs a bigger wheel to flow right. I could have possibly gotten away with running a wider width/lower offset 17", but I'm really not trying to do the stanced out poke/flush/whatever thing. I'm really digging the mid to early 2000's era look for these cars so for now I'm just trying to keep things a little more towards the classic and simple side, big sunken wheels and all lol.

I don't care for the style of this wheel, but oddly enough (for me, that is), it kind of works because of the wheel color. Car looks great. I wouldn't do anything else to it. I wouldn't even put bags on it. You want dependable? Don't put stuff on there that doesn't need to be there. Later, QD.

i agree w/ QD on wanting dependability and leaving it as is

Haha. When I first got it I had delusions to go all out with air-ride, kit and the whole 9 yards but after getting it to this point, I've fallen in love with the simplicity of it. Less shit to break.

Yeah I don't plan on doing much else to it besides maybe a re-spray eventually (back to factory color or close to it) and a few other tiny upgrades that no one would probably notice lol. And I couldn't agree more with your closing statement. I don't think enough people understand that. :goodjob:

I like the car, like the wheels, like the size of the wheels and how they fit......
Not sure if i like the wheel color. From a distance it looks great. That one picture of it up close, the wheel finish looked too flat.

Flat as in matte? Or flat as in no depth in the color? They are cleared, but I purposely chose a solid battleship gray color with no pearl/metallic. They do look funny in pic 2 though. Might be my shitty photoshop skills haha.

the color is fine, the picture makes it look rough like a primer or something. if it's cleared and smooth, then i would like it.

Oh ok then yeah it is my shitty photoshop skills lol. They're cleared. Probably could have used one or two more coats but they came out decent.

It's not often you see a honda as clean as this, so thats a plus, but I have this idea in my head that wagons are on the same level of gayness as minivans.

Wagons and minivans are the shit. Nothing better than seeing a nicely done up one. Nothing. Later, QD.

LOL,, no wagons are the shit, minivans are shit. But i do agree that a nicely done wagon, is waaay cooler than a nicely done coupe :goodjob:
Looks good. Your goal was accomplished.

finally some shots of the wheels mounted, they did need a lil bit of some work to get that good shine back. but actually looks pretty good that color
that thing looks amazing I effing love this wagon and I respect your ways with the wagon. but damn some type of turbo build would be pretty sweet or even an f20c swap would be pretty interesting.

the c2 or even the original type-c's would be bomb on it.

Yeah I got a killer deal on the wheels so I snagged em for now. I do enjoy the semi period-correctness of them and width/offset doesn't bother me too much. Eventually I want to do something a touch wider while still staying with more of a classic style/brand. 3-pc Type-C's or C5's would be fucking boss :yes:

love this car.. only thing i would consider is the "type-r" style wing that goes on the back of these - not sure if that is a factory piece but i've always loved it on these cars. But the car is perfect!

I'm on the fence about spoilers on these things for some reason. They look good with a kit, but I think the factory body lines look better wingless. I would rock a Kolnes wing though if a.) I could find one b.) I could find one for less than $1000. lol.
