Default What next???

Well, I finally finished the exhaust puzzle....AEM CAI + DC 4-2-1 Header + GReddy SP exhaust. What should I do next???

I was thinking about an underbody lip kit, much like the OEM aero kit. I was also thinking about a set of 18's, but I'm not sure I want to take away from my stock LX look.

What are your opinions on what I should do next...either performace or looks.

Thanks.

Yeah, maybe I'll go rims. It's just so much easier to get more small things done to my car than it is to save and buy rims. Damn, for the amount of money I've already invested I could have had a sweet set of rims. Oh well.

18s all the way. But if you get something with a lip, then go 19s. IMO, accords w/o FI/swap/major motor work aren't fast, so working on the looks seems more logical as compared to the power department for those of us on a humble budget.

Get 19s if you're going for a showy look. 17-18s otherwise. I'm thinking of trading my 18s for 19s.

Nice job on your I/H/E

I would wait till you need new tires to get wheels. How about start working on your suspension...

lowering springs
adj. struts
rear swaybar
strut bars

IMO, this is the next logical direction after the I/H/E.

You could also get some AEM under drive pullies.

dude is that a bra please take it off i'd hate to see you ruin your paint job
i like the fogs
since the car is black maybe you'd like black rims if thats your thing
every one is saying to go big so alloy would be good in a big rim
try to get 20's if you can
my friend's friend had em on a 5th gen it looked crazy
but i'm joking about getting em on your whip
this kid had like no side wall and they'll dent madd easy
maybe u could go w/ a 17
my car is stock and the next thing i do is gonna be rims i think you'll be happier w/the car if u do that before other stuff
i know i will be
question:if you get like 19's don't you have to get a taller tire(not sure what that's called) my tires are 205/60/R15 is the 60 how tall it is?

19's on an accord??? ehhhh u fellas sure they fit ... 60 is the hight of the tire but the bigger rim u go the smaller the high with 19's ude prolly be runnin 225/30/19's which would equal a real ****ty ride and bent rims ide stick with 18's

19s on 6g accords are becoming more and more popular. Yes the ride will be shot to $hit but its for those people with garage queens or for show people. The most popular choice lately seems to be Axxis Neo in 19s......they do look very sweet. So far I've also seen a couple accords with 20s in Lowenhart LD1s.

18s is more logical for us daily drivers as they fill up the wheel well nicely on 6gs and enhance the appearance of your car by a lot.

I was going to suggest a lowering until I read the dark letters in his sig and realized he has Ground Control coilovers.

Rims are good, they make the most sense right now.
