Ditch the bra, go with the 18's. H22/5Speed couldn't hurt either. :)

Thanks guys, I only have the bra on for now because when my little brother was younger (~3 y/o) he took a rock and started scratching up the hood. So the bra covers it until I'm ready to repaint it. I actually temporarily ditched the front lip
I was pulling into a gas station and didn't see the huge dip. When straight through it and tore the lip off. Nothing broke and thank god it's Urethane. No it's time to go put it back on and fix and screw ups I made.

I dont like the lip either. Having only 1 out of 4 lips/skirts on anything is not a good look, and i dont think that body style NEEDS anything there. It just needs wheels and lowering imo.

Well the new lip actually evens it out a little. It looks goofy riding around wit 3 of 4 lips LOL

The ricer in me digs the lip.
I like how the car looks so long when it's slammed like that. Decent looking Accord, for sure.

so then... what wheels are you looking at getting? :)

Wagons rule. I'd go with 17s purely for the (much) cheaper tires. I vote no to the lip, just because it looks like lip overkill.
My daily is an old lowered wagon with wider, stickier wheels and tires under it :)
Daily (wheel gaps look weird because my yard is uneven)

I'm liking the lip.
Funny how that car wouldn't interest me much in sedan form, but as a wagon I find it completely awesome, (see also: W123/4 Mercedes'). A 5-speed would make it even cooler.

Yup, When she hits 150k she's getting a H22/5 speed
Accord wagon with a H22/5-spd would be near perfection! Wonder how hard it is to swap on Prelude brakes? This would provide improved braking and 5-lug wheels. Then maybe use Prelude wheels like this:

Swapping prelude E36 M3 in is simple, there is a guy in town with a 4th gen so 93ish Lude with 99 prelude 5lug, etc..
I would consider if anything, cut the bumper and extend it. Those mugen lips don't look good on anything.. My tercel is the same, bumper is higher than the rockers so I put a passat b3 duckbill on it.

My buddies 94' Prelude was upgraded with 99+ hubs, brakes, and wheels too. I doubt it would be much harder to adapt to the Accord.

Thanks everyone, I put on some 16's from my friends Miata and they looked too small. But I might use them to go AutoXing
Eventually I might get 17's and probably sell the 18's.

Nice! I might be doing some upgrades soon because there's a possibility that I might be selling my Z

It's picture time :D The Accord hit 117k this week which means I've put 8k on it since I started this thread in July :)
