Default Opinions / comments?

Hi all,

About 6 months ago I bought my 2nd accord - a 6th gen EXV6. Since then I've made a number of upgrades to it.

I'm curious to hear comments...I like the stock look, so I tried to stay close to it. I also know that a lot of people will say to lower it, but I'm not interested in doing that.

Here is the list of things I've added so far...
17" Acura TL-S rims
Honda OEM fog lights
Honda OEM spoiler
Honda OEM stainless exhaust tips
Remote start
HID retrofit (Bosh projectors, Philips D2S bulbs / ballasts)
iPod to Honda adapter

Here are a few before, and after pictures.

BEFORE...


AFTER....







what do you think?

You may want to run a TL-CL set of shocks and springs, this will stiffen up the ride and still give you a like stock height. If may help the front wheel gap a tad since the rims would match better with the springs from the TL-CL type S.

I like the look, but I would look at adding the Wing West touring front lip. It's a very mild lip, not like a Type-W but it would help add some sport to the nose and should be just fine with your current splash guards and spoiler.

Window tint would look fantastic as well, just did that to the wife's bone stock TSX ride. I like the iPod mod as well, did the same thing to my Accord

It looks good, nice mods. You could leave it just like that, or take it further, just depends on what you like.

One thing I would get no matter if you leave it just like that, or continue to mod...get some red/clear tail lights. Stock-like look, but an improvement.

Mine:

I have a stock head, I used an iPod adapter from mp3yourcar.com, and ran it up the inside of the console, then just used a dremel tool to cut some slots for the wire to go up into the armrest

Thanks for the ideas. I especally like the idea of the CL-S struts, I'll have to look into those and the front lip.
