Looks terrible. I'm all for going low, but only when it looks good. Would look very good if the wheels were smaller and not bowed up in the fender well like that. And of course he needs to put the correct badging on there.

The way the entire cars body is fixed up (fresh paint, jdm front, etc..) looks great! Wheels and suspension setup are a little overkill for me though. I also dont like ow he has it badged as a honda and an acura, it just looks tacky. :2cents:

good catch i didnt even see that lol, i was overwhelmed w/ the rear tuckage. i do like the 17s on there, as that's what i'm considering for mine, but i wouldnt be cambered like he is, more than likely, just tuckage. suspension is just SK2 and blues i believe

i do like tuckage, grew into that when i was into the minitruckin scene

Lolol. If you're going to misbadge your car, at least do it 100%.

The tucking isn't really the unsightly thing about it. It's the ugly bowing of the tire/wheels. And of course, the wheels being a couple of sizes too big.

Wheel size being too big comes from being a real mini-trucker, lolol. Mini trucking back in it's OG days.

LOL i agree...either 100% acura or 100% honda..looks like he didnt have enough money to get the other honda or acura badge, so he just mismatched lol

i agree about the bow thing not being a good look, i don't like it either, if he had a more suitable offset and probably a 7.5" wide wheel, i think it would have looked way better..i mean i like/would probably replicate the front look, but i just cant w/ the rear. i respect him for DD it like this, but that's about it.

S/O to overside wheels in minitruckin LOL

Looks good, makes me think 17's are going to come back in style for all of us Honda/Acura Enthusiasts....!

only on DBs...DA/coupes needs to stick to 16s as the largest wheel, IMO

100% agree. i've had 15s, 16s, 17s, and even 18s on my DB8 over the years and I think 17s work best on DBs (16 is as small as I'd go), and 16s work best on DA/DC coupes (with 15s being smallest). i'm running 17s on my DB8 now with just a little bit of tuck

this is a really clean DB though...the camber of the wheels ruins it for me but to each his own

You mean 17s aren't in style?

And don't say "all" Honda/Acura enthusiasts. The biggest wheel I'll ever put on my Honda is 13s, lolol.

That looks really bad. If you're gonna rock 17's on a db1 you gotta do it like Neil did back in the day.

HOLD THE MOTHAFUKER UP!!!! what front lip is that?

and everyone does their own taste on wheel size...i only respect his taste, and definitely respect his tuck. the camber IN THE REAR, not so much, but i love the tuck. i bet there are people here that would unjustly criticize the raised hood and the roof rack, but i respect it cuz it's his taste..

I have no idea on the lip, but Neil loves buying expensive shit so who knows where he got it...

I don't have an answer on the hood, but he did have this car a few years ago at the height of the the roof rack epidemic.
