YOU GOTTA STAY OUTTA DAT VTAK YO!

No but seriously you should be getting upper 20's unless you're all city...

And as far as a serious response concerning mods? Go exterior-only if you really want to. And by exterior I mean clean....lower it a little (no, not slammed) and put a nice set of wheels on it, maybe some tints and call it a day. After that just keep that shit clean if you really like your car. Otherwise get a Civic Si yo! BWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh


yeah so far i've installed a deck, sri, getting speakers and type r grille soon (just ordered and probably subs later on), tint soon, but i think i'll hold off lowering it for a while..., wheels when i get the money! not sure if i should go 18s or just go 17s... and finally exhaust ;) - gotta love that vtaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!

they all sound like shit, sounds like a sickly group of mosquitoes flying by.

dont draw negative attention to yourself, keep it visually clean and youre good to go.

if you're going for the cosmetic only look just do whatever you want. you'll have plenty of people laughing at your "cosmetically good looking" honda accord with or without a loud exhaust.

I personally have no qualms with a clean-looking vehicle...I've seen plenty of Hondas done right without a rice exhaust but instead a nice polished SS muffler with a rolled chrome tip (no, not 4" either) and it looked pretty good. And yes, it was quiet. Nothing wrong with having a clean Honda...I respect the guys that know it isn't a racecar but spend the money to make it a little more personalized but not rice.

being clean looking and doing shit like making it an impractical daily driver by fucking with the suspension like those in his pics are totally different. i'm fine with some cosmetic shit but when it starts causing problems you've crossed the line.

Fuck practicality...my shit's herrafrush.

A mild 1-2" drop is nice, but I'm not a fan of tires tucked into the fender. I like it when the tire follows the fender arch with maybe a 1/2"-1" gap, that looks good.

that isn't my car, i just posted that cus you said accords looked ugly and i thought this one looked pretty nice :O

like i said, my car is pretty stock atm... just getting a few things done to it. if i were to lower it in the future i'd probably do a 1.5 drop and 17 or 18 wheels, shouldn't be too big, and not a 4" muffler probably 3 like most people on forums have posted but i don't know much about exhausts yet :D

btw what's with all the accord hate >:(, i know it's not a racecar, it's more like a luxurious sporty look

When I see a Honda Accord I think the 2 very last things that pop into my head are sporty or luxurious :wacko:
