Just got my pics upload, I was snapping pics when I seen a 5gen all white accord with a kit etc, take a look, this for sure needs a drop. Please tell me what you think of my accord so far, and what should I do next. I had a Tusdo Fireball catback but took it off today because I am getting a Apexi WS any day.

Looks much better. Have you considered painting your sideskirts or getting EX skirts?

[dreman]

Funny you asked, when I was in the shop today the owner told my if I wanted paint work done he could give me a good deal on work done in his friends shop. I went there as soon as the install was done and the dude wanted $130 for both skirts painted. What do you think bro is this my best bet or can I just get the skirts from a EX already painted some where. I have installed Ex Leather seats a few weeks ago and I really would like the skirts painted. I don't know why honda did that?

Because if the LX's were the same as the EX's no one would spend the extra money on the EX. But yes, the painted skirts would really improve the looks.

At least you got painted moldings. The 98-00 LX's have black side moldings. Luckily I have a black car, or else I'd have to get mine painted.

Wow looks 10X better. Which model springs did you get of H&R? how is it? like is it to low where you have a hard time driving around? Looks perfect to me. . Also is yours a EX or LX? Cuz I think if yours is LX you dont get painted side skirts? I have no idea so dont mark my words on that.

Stupid server says I have reached today's bandwith. Oh atleast the miriors are painted, I saw a dx and it looked bad with black mirors. I will repost the pics in a min.

[dreman]

I got pics up again as you can see, Its H&R 1.5Front 1.2Rear drop, I think its perfect for me. I drive around town with no problem bro, I wanted to see how it was with 4 adults today and it was sweet no rubbing it's a perfect fit. My car is a 2001 4cyl LX. I just not to long ago put Leather seats from an EX accord, I guess I will just paint the skirts some time soon.

[dreman]

I know bro, Car makers are trying to do anything they can to save and make money thats for sure.

[carrwash13]

[dreman]

Thanks man, I love you accord it looks very clean bro.

[dreman]

Sup guys, How much do you think it will cost to install a Indash Tv unit with Brain etc. I was thinking of getting a unit just wondering on how much for installing it.

you can get new OEM EX side skirts for $85.15 per side at AHMOTORSPORT.COM. I had to e-mail them to get the price.

However, I think it would be better to get them off of a wrecked EX, or buy them off of an EX owener who has replaced or something. I'm sure it would be way cheaper. After all, how different would a used sideskirt be from a new one?

BTW, your car looks great Are the H&R Sports officially 1.5/1.2, because I remember they used to be 1.75/1.5. Does that mean that they are higher now, or were they 1.5/1.2 all along?

I know how it must have felt with the 4x4, look @ me!

Thanks bro I remember both are cars looked the same when we started out, I have seen you build up your car very nicely. Yes there H&R SPRINGS rated at 1.5F 1.2R, H&R don't make the 1.75F 1.5R springs no more, they just replaced it with the ones I just got. I dident care if my car wasent droped, I can wait you know what I mean I only had my rims on for less then a month before I lowered my car. Keep up the good work hit me back anytime bro.

yeah I hear ya Even though it is 1.5/1.2, your drop is still good!
My rims are my only mod so far, and I've had them like this for over a month now. But I hope to lower with H&R sport+Neuspeed Konis soon!


I guess I can talk my self out of getting a front camber kit now, right jschmid

[dreman]

your cool bro dont drop more then 1.7inchs with out a camber kit for sure in the rear, once you drop your car you love it trust me

I know, I definitely want to drop it!

I think the EX sideskirt would be a nice touch for both our cars, since it will compliment the drop and rims well.

[dreman]

I went to that web site and it ethier dident work or they dident have the ex skirts can you make sure the link works or even better give me a direct url I want to check it out.

[LX4CYL]

sorry, it's http://www.ahmotor.com/

You won't find it on their site, but I emailed them:

Thank you for your inquiry! The price for the 02 Accord EX side skirt in Satin Silver is $85.15 each side. If you find a lower price, let me know and I will try to match or beat it! Please email with any other questions. Happy new year,
Andy!

I own a 2002 Honda Accord LX sedan. It currently has black plastic side skirts, which I would like to replace with EX side skirts, which are color matched to the rest of the car. They need to be in Satin Silver Metallic. Attached is a picture of my car if you need it.

[dreman]

so his name is andy I will try to contact him soon. I think we should both get them for our cars, I hate seeing the black skirts I guess if our cars were black it would look better. But sooner or later will get them.

[LX4CYL]

I might try and see if I can get them off of a wrecked EX for cheap. However, if I were to buy them new, that site would be the way to go
