The car is looking good. Makes me miss my sedan. Just some helpful advice; if you're planning to drop your car on FF Coilovers, you'll want at least an 8" wheel.

Is there any reason why I would want at least an 8" wheel? I have seen an accord on here with the xxr 521s 17x7. Will they not fit? Please let me know, don't know too much about wheel sizes or fitment of theses rims.

Not too much of a wheel guy. xci is the man for that stuff. Check out the wheel fitment thread! Havre you considered plastidipping the front grille black? Or paint of course.

I think he is saying you want a 8" wide wheel because if you lower the car alot, a 7" wheel in its typical offsets will look sunk.

The 17 inch xxr521 only come 7" wide. Will spacers do the job to make them look less sunk? Im only looking to lower the car a few inches just to eliminate the gap. As for the plastidipping the grille, I don't have one.The piece that looks like the grille is part of the bumper.

What is the offset?

As for the grill, even though it is part of the bumper you can still set it apart. Ghost Ryder did a very nice job of painting his coupe grill, sedan would be a different application obviously but still possible. I'm sure someone has done it.

More info in his thread if interested: http://www.6thgenaccord.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47579

The offset is +38mm.

Is that a rear diffuser? or just a lip to look like one?

Regardless, I like it where can you buy it from?

It's called a HC1 rear lip. Got it on eBay a few years back for $100 but the only two I'm seeing now on eBay are $500.
