    Default Went to Lake Lanier and snapped some...

    I was out this weekend and took a ride up to the lake with the accord. Snapped a few pics while in shock of the low levels of the lake! I have fished on it a few weeks ago but its still really low and I haven't been to this one ramp since May.


    Here are the pics of the newest mod

    My opinion:

    Change wheels, lose mesh, lose hood pins.

    Lose side skirts, and probably rear bumber as well. I like the front end because it is Acuraish and could look badass if cleaned up. Like mentioned above fog lights would help.

    yeah i have fogs for it, they have been molded for them but the body shop molded them too far back and they hit the bumper rail when installed so I need to get that taken care of..

    LOL at safety issue! Ive gone 160 with my carbon hood with no pins. Doesnt seem like your car would go anywhere near that. I think the bumber would fly off before the hood does.

    I'm not risking it...simple as that so yeah it is a safety issue, the hood does wobble a little at highway speeds thus why I added them....and who the hell would take locks off when there are not holes in the hood....ohh and i dont recall saying my car could do 160.....go back to your evo and have fun....

    I dont recall saying you said your car can do that. Just said that i went 160 without hood pins so i think you would be fine without them.

    I like the front end. The side skirts are a little too much, but other than that looks good. To bad the lake is so low or else the pics would look alot better. Not saying the pics are bad. It is just aweful to look at that lake and see how low it is.

    Almost forgot is the mesh in the grills two different styles or are the pics not showing it right?

    Lose the wheels, sides, fill the gap between the grill and hood, and also work on the mesh. It doesn't seem like its cut to fit.

    Other then that, looks good.

    someones a complete badass................doing 160 with a carbon fiber hood. living on the edge. lets do 160 together in our cars while drinking some mtn. dew and listening to some "highway into the danger zone". i think that would be extreme
