I wanted a black coupe but this was the only 6-6 in the area and it was a steal of a deal so I had to jump on it!

First mods: Tint and roof spoiler

Picked up some 20x8.5 and 20x10 AG M510's in silver....found @sikhestaccord on campus and looked hella 4x4

Done being 4x4, picked up some BC Coils from Peter aka @yolowaccord to help fund his bag purchase

Apparently the accord was looking good to other people too because I came out to this at 6am in 19 degree weather :(

But any time you get knocked down, you gotta come back stronger! Thankfully, insurance covered the theft and this time I decided to go 20x10 square and change up the color a bit..

Went down to Atlanta for IA in the summer and got to meet a lot of other 8thgen's

Got back from IA and got sideswiped in a parking lot the next week...took her to the body shop and had the bumper repainted! Good as new! Had it out of the shop for 5 days and then boom.....

Dude says he "was inching forward"....I call BS.

Repair took 3 weeks to complete because the shop was dragging their feet.. Got her back and what do you know, they curbed my wheels!
Horrible shop...

At this point, I was ready to throw in the towel. In a matter of 7 months, I had the wheels stolen off the car, and was hit twice. I was convinced that the car was cursed. I even sold my coilovers! But then I regained faith in the Accord and decided it was time to raise(or should I say lower) the bar a little more....

Such a wonderful place to do the install..

And afterwards..

That's how she's been for a good few months now. But with the winter months coming up, there are a few projects in the works before I start getting too busy to do anything in the spring time with flying.

Cheers Gents!

A couple updates...the gold AG's have been sold...I'm going to run an OEM+ look for a while..I don't have the HFP lip kit yet, so that's on the agenda. And maybe a few other small things. Picture below of the new trunk setup. Had the work done by The Little Shop, located in Tennessee. Working now to see if the Viair check valves have crapped the bed..may be ordering some SMC ones this weekend to finally kill the last leak!
