Silver99's 1999 Accord Coupe i4 EX (56k) BIG UPDATE 7/21

Hello 6th Gen Accord! I have to say, this forum has been great so far, and is very helpful! Anyways, I got this car from my great aunt on October 12th, 2015. It had 60,214 Miles when I received it. It is a Satin Silver Metallic 4cyl EX. It is in excellent shape, and I have to say, I love it . But, me being a car guy, it won't stay stock long. I plan on making many DIY's along the way. Enjoy!

Nice pickup. Go ahead and roll your fenders when you install the coilovers. Looking forward to some pics.

Re: Silver99's 1999 Accord Coupe i4 EX (56k)

Where can I rent a fender roller? I'm still on stock wheels, but would like to get 17" XXR 530s. Is it necessary?

Re: Silver99's 1999 Accord Coupe i4 EX (56k)

I prefer the heat gun/patience/rubber mallet method. I think you can rent an Eastwood roller from eBay.

You may not need to roll them intially, but it'll save you the trouble later on when you make use of the coilovers.

Re: Silver99's 1999 Accord Coupe i4 EX (56k)

I cleared my 8s without a roll, but like he said, it's a good idea to go ahead since it'll be easier with everything apart anyway. I've used a heat gun and a roller, and I've had luck with the cars I've done

Nice, low miles right there. Future plans sound good!

Pics added!!

Re: Silver99's 1999 Accord Coupe i4 EX (56k)

Looks like it's in great shape! I'd get the underside or at least the rear fender area coated with rust protection. And maybe clearbra the front end to keep that paint looking good (wax first).

Re: Silver99's 1999 Accord Coupe i4 EX (56k)

I received Morimoto H1 Mini replicas, Switchback LED tubes and a switchblade key for my birthday! So, the key is done and I start the retrofit tomorrow! More pics coming soon

Re: Silver99's 1999 Accord Coupe i4 EX (56k)

Retrofit done and coilovers installed!!
