Car is looking BADASS man. The only time I ever really miss my car is when I see yours. It looks soo good!

Thanks Steve. She doesn't look that good up close though. I've got some tricks up my sleeve to fix that.

I still have pics from when I first got it.  U slippin' Z!

[CrackerTeg]

I never took pics when I first got it. It was a stock LX Accord. Not really picture worthy since they're a dime a dozen. That being said, STFU!

Wow, the potential of the LX line; impressive, Z!! ... (I have the same, but not nearly as nice )

Yes they are a dime a dozen.

Thanks Mike. I'd say yours is clean as hell dude. Don't knock yourself.
Tim, indeed.

Well, I figure its time for a profile revival as I am at a crossroads with a few mods I have cooking in my mind.

First off, I'm thinking of revisiting the quad retro but this time with FX-R's in the low's and MH1's in the highs. Question is, do I do matte black shrouds and all or do I leave the buckets and shrouds chrome? I am keeping the black housing so don't you worry your pretty little heads about that.

Secondly, I've finally got my suspension dialed in and loving the handling but I'm wanting more. I've been wanting to go air for a very long time but felt I've never had the right vehicle to do it with. I don't see myself spending thousands of dollars on an engine build to not be able to use it and I already get myself in trouble as it is with just bolt ons. The crossroads I'm at is I can get a set of Swift springs in a 14k front and 10k rear to replace the shitty springs on my f2's and have a damn good handling DD or, I get a set of coilover bags and manual management (because I'm broke and can't afford that automagic baller shit) and adjust height on the fly when its needed. Thoughts?

I'd suggest getting the new springs first and see how you like them.  You might be satisfied with them and have saved yourself thousands over purchasing the bags. 

As for the lights, I'd probably leave the shrouds chrome.  I don't think blacked out lights look all that great on silver/white cars.

That's the part I'm stuck at. The end goal is to be on air and I've been looking for deals for the last two years. I've missed out on a few just because I didn't have the coin at the right time. I have figured out that I can do the air conversion for about $1k +- 200 (mostly new parts and some lightly used) and new springs are somewhere in the $300+ range. Were I to get new springs, it would push my air further back. Its an odd place for me to be right now.

As for the lights, that's about what I was thinking. Keep the housings black but leave the buckets and shrouds chrome. Its classier/ cleaner that way and has the OEM+ appearance.

Bag it and get it over with.
