KTHUNG's 99 LX Sedan

Copy/Paste from my Introduce Yourself:
So a little about my ride: It is a 1999 Accord LX Sedan. I learned how to drive on this car when I got my license and drove it all throughout HS and college. Yeah its a auto, i4, beige (literally), boring-mobile and I always planned on getting something a little more exciting and fun to drive after graduation but honestly this thing has been rock. solid. One problem in the last 9 years was needing to replace the plugs distributor cap and rotor. So the plan now is to drive it till it dies (which is going to be a long time) meanwhile saving money for a new ride. Only 160k on the clock and I'm planning on learning how to pretty much take everything apart and put it together.

Plans for the car. Strictly A2B car. No performance mods. Functional mods only. Mainly things on the interior to make it more comfortable/enjoyable to drive. After all dumping a bunch of money into this car would just look silly. Also I plan on doing 100% maintenance/repairs myself. I have zero experience but I'm an engineer and think I can learn pretty easily.

I wouldn't call dumping a lot of money into it silly just a hobby that gets addicting lol idk 6th gens have so much potential..but nice car bro it'll last you a few more years

Thanks! It's not silly if you plan on keeping the car for indefinitely. My goal is to keep this as long as it'll run (I know it will be a while) while putting aside money for a new car. Dropping a few G's on mods and upgrades directly goes against that goal. For those that are really passionate about 6th gens and want to do MT swaps or are building show cars that's absolutely fine and I respect that. But for me this is just my DD and just a platform for me to build my mechanical know-how while saving money. If I had a really good condition V6 MT coupe it'd be a different story, but to me a base model AT sedan isn't worth pumping a lot of money into (but again for some it might be) YMMV.

Very clean and classy ride! I understand your efforts to maintain a daily, and you will find the forum has alot of useful information on helping keep the daily up and running, along with helpful members and supportive staff. Digging your factory rims also!

Thanks! Lucky find on the Bay. They're like "mini TL" rims

Gotta love eBay! And now that you mention it, they do resemble the TL rims. I know you aren't wanting to mod your car too much, but might I suggest the Eibach Pro Springs. It'd be a good replacement for your worn, factory springs, lower your car some, would really make your awesome rims pop, and give it a unique look. Regardless though, still digging how clean and in great shape your ride is!

WAIT NO. DON'T TEMPT ME.
I agree it would look much better but the other mods/repairs come first. Would I lose a lot of money if I bought a set and parted them out later on if I decided to sell the car stock?

Yeah I'm really happy with the look AND I didn't have to do a 5 lug conversion.
