Wow - that's got to be one of the best-looking Accords that I've ever seen!

Thanks, a lot of work went into that thing. Then someone broke into it and demolished the interior and exterior. My paint was my pride and joy, and I drove it everyday. I was heart broken. I'll never put that much into a car again. Some say I had the 3rd or 4th nicest show winning accord in the country, but that's all subjective. I didn't have a turbo on it like one in Cali had, but it was a trailor queen so I get the nod being a daily driver I guess hehe!

Here's the trunk. I always go for subtle modifications that are tasteful, I will be doing the same with my IS350.

Sorry to hear that the Accord got wrecked - that's a shame. As for your IS, its always good to start with a nice set of wheels and a drop.

Thumbs up

That looks sweeet, I was browsing through this thread to get specs on offset but after I ordered it I realized that I wanted a more aggressive look. Looks like I'll be gettin spacers and runnin about the same specs as you as far as stretching the tires and offset.
