Well I appreciate your opinion, that's why I posted this thread.. to get feedback, I'll have pics of my car soon when everything is complete, and if the wing looks dumb, I just take it off. Thanks

things that i still find needs work:
1) altezzas
2) kit is too big
3) because of reason 2, you've got a hole on the rear bumper w/ no exhaust
4) VTEC sticker + mirror tint = teh tacky

good luck! h:

are u getting the BW1 kit or the BW2? cuz in the pics of YOUR car it has the BW1 which looks good...but in the pics of the Accord gone horribly wrong, it has the BW2 kit and that unGodly diving board on the trunk...just do it up with the BW1 kit and go clean ass on the rear...now if u plan on having alot of pool parties this summer then that wing will come in handy, u can just back it up to the pool and u got yourself a 4 person diving board...but other than that, it serves no purpose but to bring down the resale value of your car...and yes, the wing u had originally looked better...if i were to get a wing at all, it would be that style only in carbon fiber for weight, and it would have to be something functional, like to help with cornering and downforce...but on a FWD car wings dont do much at all so im keepin mine clean ass....just in case u're wondering...this is what my baby looks like...holla

Hey, I have the BWI on there now, but just the front, and the BWII is on it's way. I'm actually waiting for grounddesigns to call me back today with my tracking #, so I'll know where the hell it is. That BWII wing, I don't know I just like it. I'll have to actually see what it looks like on my car thought. OH and I FINALLY got to go get another damn windshield wiper arm and new wiper blades, so it looks so much better, Even that made a big difference.

good luck! h:
I like my lights, I have the paintable bezel that trims the lights. I was waiting until I put my car in the shop for my kit to get that painted,so it will match completely. I think the carbon trim makes it TOO noticable. I'm starting not to feel the stickers either. I've shaved all my emblems so far, and I think I'm gonna take all that s**t off too. Oh and if you see my future mods say Dual Exhaust. That's gonna be after I get done with the body of my car, and I become bored again.
