The Orange Skittle
The 6thgenaccord staff would like to say congratulations to Larry on winning ROTM! The theme this time was "Cleanest Modded Accord" and as you can see Larry's accord defines clean. He has personally been an inspiration of mine for not only his accord, but his photography. Congrats on the win!

1. Is this your first car?
No, this is my second car but this is the first car I purchased, financed, and paid off by myself.
2. How did you end up with the accord?
When it was time to purchase upgrade from my first car, I was torn between a 5thGen Prelude, a Toyota Celica Gt, and a 6thGen Accord Coupe. After nearly 6 month of debating back and forth, countless test drives, and numerous online searches I found the exact car I wanted, a red 2002 Honda Accord Coupe Ex V6, fully loaded. Every morning, I still get tingles when I walk out and see my car.
3. When did you first start modifying cars?
I first started modifying cars at the age of 16. I remember The Fast and the Furious movie had just come out and everyone was getting into the mainstream import scene. I received my license and first car shortly thereafter; she was a charcoal grey 90’ Accord 4dr. I didn’t have a lot of money to buy legit parts so I purchased all my parts from ebay or autozone. I admit, my car was riced out. Every possible ricer accessory add-on you could name, I had it. I’ve learned a lot since then, now with my 6thGen accord, I took a minimalistic approach and focused on clean and simple looking mods.
4. Did you run into any problems along the way when you were modifying stuff?
No, I didn’t run into any problems.
5. Why do you do it? Why not leave it stock?
I do it for many reasons. I really enjoy working on my car. There’s a sense of accomplishment knowing you did the all the work yourself. I enjoy transforming my car into something that’s unique and personalized. I enjoy going to car shows and meet and sharing my passion for. I enjoy not only the aesthetic improvements but also the performance improvements. Once you’ve driven a car on a legit set of coilovers, it’s hard to drive on anything less.
6. What other mods do you have planned for the car?
In the works are new wheels and lots of fender work. After that, maybe I’ll focus on performance mods or maybe I’ll just leave it along, I’m still very undecided.
7. Any other cars you're tinkering with?
None at the moment but I would like to pick up another 6thgen accord coupe to strip out and turn into a dedicated track car.
8. What's your favorite thing about your car, specifically? Which money do you feel was your best investment?
My favorite aspect of my car is definitely the aesthetics. I love the simplistic angular lines, the overall wedge shape of the coupe body style, the aggressive but slightly feminine headlight, grill and bumper.
9. Is there anybody you would like to credit or thank for helping you along the way?
I’d like to give a shout out to the people at V6Performance.net & 6thGenAccord.com, where the the cleanest accords on the net reside. Without them I'd be lost in a sea of rice'd out buckets. And thanks to my family and my friends for their patience and support.
