Re: DBO867's 1998 ACCORD LX 5MT TMT (Taking My Time) Build!!!!

After so much procrastination, I finally got around to installing my 5 lug swap last week. It was a lot easier than I thought. I didnt really wanna do it since the only diy we had on here were mainly pictures, but I see why now haha there was no instructions needed. You can just look at it and already know what to do. So yeah, 5 lug swap done, just black house my headlights again since my old set was didnt survive my accident from last year. Will starting sanding down parts of my car for primer and paint today. I say parts, because this is my daily, so I still gotta get around and to work. So hopefully this thread will be updated a lot more from now on.

Ive also finally settled on my wheel of choice. Decided to go with MRR GF7 18x9 in silver. Got bored one night, so i decided to mock up how itll look. Since this accord is literally 90% of how I want mine, I dont think it looks bad at all

^You mean 5 lug swap? lol

Nice work, lots more wheel opportunities now though it sounds like you've already got yours picked out. They look sweet, what are they?

Btw whose Accord is that?

Theyre the mrr gf7, and idk the owner, it was a random stance accord image i found on google. He had the same setup as what i was planning so i just used his picture to photoshop the wheels on haha. I had wanted a lot of other wheels but i remember seeing these in person at the MRR hq and they told me not a lot of folks order these for accords. Only one they sold was to a 8th Gen coupe, which also happened to be the first set sold.
