Enkei Ekm3 (still the ones i have wanted for a longgg time) black
HFP RGR-16D (18x7.5 +55 Accord HFP Rims from 2008+ accessory) Come in CBP to match my car

op updated with some thoughts/plans

[Asim]

I scraped my side on the garage a week ago, do you think most of this will buff out?
(exception: the body molding, scraped down to the plastic so not really much that can be done there)





BTW what you see is white paint from the wood panel of the garage, it doesnt look like it got through the clearcoat but I could be wrong.. I am speaking with my local detailer to see what he can do

The molding looks like it will need to be replaced or painted but, the spot by the wheel well looks like it will buff out.

It's hard to say without seeing it in person, but it looks like most of that can buff out..

Nice pickup. Let me know how they ride.

You still have your window visors? I'd take them off your hands.

I only have the sunroof visor and front hood deflector

same thing happen to me a car side swipped me and it buffed right out, i went to my local honda dealer and picked up a new side molding colored match for 34 bucks, it easy to replace..

Rims installed today..

Offset looks big in the back because it isn't dropped yet.... gotta get ingalls camber kit

So far feels surprisingly smoother than my winters, I expected it to be harsh but not so since i was so used to winter tires

so far 06-07 coupe rear lip on 06-07 sedan is not going very well

its a tiny bit shorter than the bumper's edge there and the creases are in slightly different spots leading to gaps in different spots... its very hard to push out these gaps so that you can get the other end to hook over the bumper, also definitely some cutting needs to be done as i dont have the v6 bumper

do you still have your front mud flaps on? you should paint them or let me!

would that even last through a canadian winter?

[Asim]

suspension installed: passenger front rubs quite abit over a regular bump, it seems slightly lower than drivers side which is not rubbing.... what can I do about the rubbing? I could raise it (time + some money), replace tires (too much money), do something with the fender??

I will see if I can live with it so far, it has to still settle
