So I haven't really updated this thread much. I feel like forums are in general dead these days, so most progress on my Accord has been kept to myself or anyone who sees it during my daily driving.

In the winter of 2013 I bought a set of white Enkei NT-03's from a drift shop/engine importer in Philly called Elite JDM. He had been sitting on these wheels for 2 years wrapped in Dunlop Direzza's with a decent amount of tread life. I was keeping my eye on his site and after 2 years I finally pulled the trigger, only a few months after I scored those SSR's in the last few posts. The Enkei's required less work so I decided to get that started first.

After months of them sitting around I finally got off my *** this summer and had them refurbished and powdercoated. Bought the same set of Dunlop Direzza's that were originally on the wheels which will work fine for daily driving. I believe I spent about $650 on these wheels (good luck finding them in 4x114.3) and $400 even on the powdercoat work. I am thoroughly pleased with the results. And to top it all off I managed to score a set of silver Enkei Duraluminum lug nuts.

Fresh from powdercoating:

Wheel specs: 17x7 +45 (4x114.3)

The stance might not be as low as some would like but personally this is perfect more me. Functional height and keeps the car under the radar.

Inside is the WS-II. This exhaust is tried and true but in my opinion awfully played out. It's disappointing how few exhausts are on the market for our chassis to compared to years past.

The Tanabe Medallion Touring for the 4cyl coupe was what I wanted to purchase and modify to fit my Sedan but none of the websites that listed that exhaust had it in stock. My friend had the Buddy Club Pro-Spec on his BB6 Prelude and the quality was terrible and was too loud for what I'm going for so this was really the only option.

I will post before and after pics of my RSX-S muffler compared to the APEXi WS-II.

Nice work! A friend of mine have those same Enkei wheels on his CE1. I was planning to buy it from him but wasn't sure how it would look on the CG. Now I know how it look and it looks pretty good. Anyway keep up the good work.

GotExhaust (site vendor) may have been able to track one down for you. But can't go wrong with Apexi, enjoy. Car is looking nice with those wheels.

Thanks alot. I love the exhaust and just put the wheels back on for the spring. The exhaust was scraping so much everywhere that i needed the extra inches from the 17s. I wish i could lower the car a bit more but i dont want to ruin this exhaust.
