And IMO new cars aren't always better looking than the ones they replace.
I think the drop on MrChad's car is great. Low enough to reduce the wheel gap, but enough travel to remain civil. Trust me, if it wasn't lowered, you'd know for sure. It'd look pretty funny.
I don't know man...my advice would be to worry less about "the pricks in their Lexuses and Bimmers", that makes you sound more jealous than anything else.
If you aren't happy with your car, I wouldn't keep it. You might be disapointed with the results if you try and turn it into something it's not.
It's just my opinion of course, but if you like the car, keep it and do whatever you want to it...but do it cause you want to, not cause you think other people will like it.
I'd love to have a 330i or an S4, but I won't be able to afford one for a while, so I just have fun with my Accord and accept it for what it is. It's the nicest car I've had, it's paid off, so I'm happy with it. Even when I graduate from dental school in a year and half I'm gonna buy my wife a new car before me, so I'll be keeping my Accord for a couple more years at least. I've owned the car for over 3 years now, doesn't bother me.
While I do have a few cosmetic mods, what really puts a smile on my face is blasting down a backroad, taking corners near the limit of adhesion, feeling the difference in handling each mod makes from stock.
This is what gets my blood pumping

That's what I'm into more than what strangers think about my car.
Will all be put into consideration. Thanx.
