Default Need!!!

I think i'm going to raise my car back up to it's original height, i'm really tired of driving a lowered car, i like the way it looks right now but with the work that i do when i go to a customer's house people might think that i'm ghetto. I'm a salesman by the way, i go to customer's houses to measure for flooring.

So i need a picture of a 94-97 honda accord coupe w/ 215/45/17 that is not lowered. Any pictures will help.

Unless there's a way to raise my front 1/2" to 1", i might consider doing that. Am i making any sense?

Can anyone help me?

No men. i didn't mean it like that. Like i said earlier i like my car lowered. It's just the work that i do, i don't think is appropriate.

Anyone has pictures?

Oh yeah i do have a mugen knock off front lip installed. I don't know if that makes a difference.

well, I wouldn't say "ghetto", but not quite professional looking.


If I were on a job site, I'd want my car to be presentable, and not give judgement on who I am as a person. 1st impressions are everything and you don't need to blow an opportunity on something as trivial as a car.

u need to tell the people that think that way to f*** off. if you have your car that way then i only see it as unique, which, if i was a ur customer, id think that you have a good sense in what you do and you have good style with what you sell, catch my drift? thats whats wrong with todays society, everyone is too damn stereotypical, who says that you cant do your job better or just as good as some one who does the same thing but drives a damn Mercedes.

Thanks for all the replies guys. I really appreciate it. I love my car especially lowered right now, but i really don't know how to say it but i think i'm phasing out on the import scene thing. I'm 30 years old i'm not saying that being 30 is old, but i don't know. I'll probably put my speaker box in the trunk again to get more weight in the back.

It depends on how much you are dropped imo. If you are slammed to the ground, sure, I could see it being a problem, but if you have a mild drop, most people won't even notice that it's lowered, it just looks better. If you have a low drop, just get some sport springs like H&R, Eibach, etc for a 1.5" or so drop. It won't look slammed, but it'll look a lot better than stock, and still handle well.

I actually have Neuspeed sport. So it's really not a bad drop, i just wish i could raise it up a little bit, don't really know if that's possible.

Funny thing is i'm at my brother's house and his friend has the same car and the same size wheels and rims and it's not lowered, and it looks like a 4x4. So, for now i think i'll just put my boom box in the trunk for the meantime until then.
