Man.. just got da worse email of my life.. carmate.. da bastards.. just called and told me that my bodykit wont be arriving for anotha 3 months..
and that's after a 4-6 week wait already.. which they originally told me it would take.. it would be 6 weeks exactly 2dai.. yes i put it into my diary.. sad me.. i was actualli so excited.. and anticipated dat everything would be fine.. that i posted in another thread that 'my car is in da shop'.. coz i figured.. yeh.. should be in a few weeks.. but fark.. pretti bs that dey screwed me over..
i already put a deposit and everything too.. i can get it back.. but yeh.. *sigh* i dunno..
but anyway.. that's anotha thread.. :(

Now my dilemma is.. i've saved up a few grand in anticipation of da kit arriving.. enough for a respray and a nice set of wheels.. i was hoping to get it all done in one go.. *sigh sigh sigh*
now i'm thinking i'll go mags first..
i wanna get da HR racing 125s.. like on my avatar.. 18inch.. do u think it will look realli weird if i dont have a kit and rollin on 18s? it'll be lowered a little of course... :D
i've seen a few stock cars on 18s.. and dey look mad.. but den i'm haunted by da memory of one s14 i saw many years ago.. that had 18s.. and looked like a monster truck.. :eek:

Who cares man about lookin weird. Do it now, you won't feel so bad spending all your hard earned cash at once on the kit, respray and mags.

Have you tried anywhere else for the kit you want? All it takes is a few phone calls.

What color is you accord? It's a 97 as in your small profile?

Just make sure you lower you car!! You'll need a good 2 inch drop to pull off the 18's. And make sure they are lightweight wheels.

Otherwise sweet as!

Haha, or you can do like me and get rims before lowering... D'oh! It looked pretty ridiculous; but at least it motivated me to do the lowering!
