    The best thing i've read on IA all day! Exchanging extremely heavy fiberglass parts for durable & lightweight OEM urethane. I've but Tein SS on an '01 Coupe before...black with black wheels and no lip and look just fine. The headlight mod (eyebrow) makes it look aggressive too.

    see i like this stance.and it dosnt have a lip. but also the rims kinda makes a good look for the car also.
    i still have bags on the accord so i can still slam it down to the ground.

    ugh, needs to be lowered in the rear and those 27lb wheels thrown away never to be put on another car again

    An Advan RG replica wheel (Rota Boost?) would be hot on that car OR even Subzero's:

    It has nothing to do with the weight of the car, it's unwanted unsprung weight...makes the car sluggish, kills your power and torque, worse gas mileage, etc.

    I was just using that car as an example, sits level and has a better looking wheel that are just as cheap and weigh 10lbs less each. I'd just put on stock bumpers and definitely not put on those taillights the blue one has.

    what about those ADRs i linked? cuz right now i have a set of17" black Konig Gt-R
    with toyo proxe4s but the way the spokes bend back into the wheel makes them look really small.

    yea i plan on keeping my halo headlights,invader carbon fiber hood/m3 mirrors.
    i have to buy new factory or w/e metal fenders cuz i tore mine up..i still have the OEM bumper,sides,rear. and i plan on getting a CF trunk.

    my goal was to get sum racing seats, and turbo..but im not sure if i want performance or body..cuz i kno my car may look "rice" but i did just get it painted and finished like 3 months ago.lol its a BMW blue now-use to be satin silver.so ill have to prime the bumpers black until i get money to paint again.lol

    I searched "accord coupe rota" looking for one with the rota boost then ran into that one....yep, same as my wheels

    I actually like that accord with the short rear end, just need to figure out an easier and cleaner way to do it
