3500$ is a great price..

[s4driver1519]

hey dude..i got some black housing headlights if you wanna make me an offer.

[ruffriderGA]

How much you looking to get, I don't want to be a lowballer. I'll have the money after christmas :D

my headlights have water in them so it's funny you mentioned that, something i've been wanting to replace

[£G2♣]

looks okay...:goodjob:

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

Nice steal.

[ruffriderGA]

thanks for the replies. so far its been flawless, i bought it up at red top auto auction and i was kind of nervous about it, but it's been awesome.

the paint is slightly faded on the roof (you can see it in the pic kind of) but everything else is fine.

anyone else have an accord i wanna see pics :D

[Lucky DAWG]

sorry man but i'm gonna have to bag on it

i hate accords, had a lot of good times with my old one but the tranny was so weak on it and thing fell apart on me.

wheels on the car are not too hot either

ALTHOUGH
very nice and well kept interior, i had the exact same model, year, and color as what you had

[ruffriderGA]

i appreciate criticism too :goodjob: I guess i have a different taste in wheels than most people but i really like these wheels, not so much at first but they grew on me.

the back seats look like no one has ever ridden back there. interior is real nice i bought some leather conditioner stuff at autozone and it made it like new :D

[gtikid]

Holy 4x4....cot damn you could go mudding in that shit bitch haha....you riding dirty in that thing...sorry dude but those wheels are ugly to say the least...good ass price you got on the car though

yea im just sayin naturally bein a toyota / lexus boy i hate honda sooo...

i loved my accord though for how many random parties, curbs me hitting while tipsy, reckless races that i could not win it endured

i ran my old accord into the ground, now i baby my lexus sc 400

[Lucky DAWG]

double post, sry

i wont be as harsh on the wheels as i already made my case

but as a first mod i would give it a good 2 inch drop or so
that will get rid of the 4x4 effect

Slam it.

[ruffriderGA]

i did this earlier 15 seconds in ms paint

i just cant afford it right now :(

[WhiteAccord]

/\/\ That drop would look nice but the rims still have to go.... Want some tailights? im getting rid of mine for my stock ones...

And dont buy black housing headlights.. no offense to the guy was selling themm.... just that black out the stock ones and retrofitting them is hella cleaner...just IMO

[5thgcelica]

drooop ittt

[phongt12]

definitely get rid of those rims. your car still looks like a 4x4 even with the photochop. what size are they? also, i think there is a S/C for that particular accord so i'd get on that soon! too bad 7th gens have none whatsoever.

[Evil Goat]

thread jack, i dont know much about accords, my wife has an 01 4dr w/ the shitty ol fogged up lights and im sick of fucking w/ em every 6 months to keep em clean.....will these fit a 4dr, if so how much? ill pick em up right after christmas

[ruffriderGA]

they are 18" niche rims, i didnt like them at first but now i think theyre going to stay for a while. I actually bought this car because of how clean the engine and interior is.

i've read about blacking out the stock lights, but when i heat them up to open them, how do i get them back together? :???:

[Nittanys1]

nice steal!

[WhiteAccord]

You re-heat them to get them sticky again and mash them together... Read on Nittanys thread in the Honda Forum... I dont know if he ever finished but it should give you a step by step....

thanks man.

[Nittanys1]

naw i didnt...i need to get some replacement ballast...

[WhiteAccord]

/\/\ well you still opened up your headlights...

[The Ninja]

nice accord man. Makes me miss mine. Need to slammit, if you like the rims keep'em bump the haters lol.
personally I'm not a fan of the tan leather, I'd say get a system for dat shit and BUMP!!!!

Don't re-use the same silicone. Just go out and buy some all-weather silicone and put it around the edge of the headlights and then MASH them. Hold them together for a few minutes with as much force as possible :goodjob:

O and make sure it's clear silicone too ;)

[ruffriderGA]

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-02-HONDA-ACCORD-RED-COILOVER-SPRINGS-99-00-01_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33582QQihZ015QQitemZ 250063174489QQrdZ1

why are they so cheap?

and what about the cold air intakes i see on ebay?

I got $140 to spend on the car :rolleyes:

what about these too

Not trying to go all out with the cheap ebay shit i'm just wondering what to buy and what to stay away from because these prices are way too cheap even with the high shipping charges :???:

Do not, I repeat do not buy coilovers on ebay... if you continue to buy these "coilovers" then you will run into future damage to your car and prob cause more money to repair it.. so if your going to drop your car then do it the right way and buy NAME BRAND PARTS!!! and dont rice the car out by putting crome headlights.... black that shit out!!!!!!!!!!

[Josh...]

Get some COILOVERS not lowering springs, not those ground control coilovers, but some tein, d2, etc. I messed up and bought some lowering springs, and once I buy the struts it will be around the same price as some tein basics. And go to the forums on http://www.v6performance.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=18 you will learn a lot about the good and the bad of the 6th gen.

[Nittanys1]

^AGREED

I have had 4 different suspension setup on my car and im still not 100% satisfied. Had I the chance to do it all over I would have gone with Tien complete setup

[WhiteAccord]

TEIN OWNS ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Josh...]

TEIN OWNS ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I'm goin for some D2's, but thats just me.

[ruffriderGA]

i have a $400 budget for this car right now.

so far, i've just cleaned it up and i painted the windshield wiper arms black and calipers because they were faded and didnt look good

any more ideas, i was thinking about taking it to get the windows tinted tomorrow and putting in an aftermarket cd player

[WhiteAccord]

Winwod tint is not a bad idea.. aftermarket cd player is ehhhh.....

[Nittanys1]

just keep saving up, there is no need to cut corners and get something right now...just wait...we all have had to...

[caseyT]

Definately clean on the inside no doubt
