VIP Style or Race Style??

[[ IV 23 VI ]]

here is the only pic I can find of a VIP styled 6th Gen, Its half finished, but the kit looks good, most 6th gen VIP kits look like shit.
I still remember the Cabin Boys 6th Gen, that was real classy back in the days dropped on 19's, but I dont have a pic.

Nice but I dont think it will look USDM unless you plan on doing a JDM style with hella flush setup, USDM Hella Flush is a mix of JDM and VIP and Drift all in one, imo

If you colour code your lip kit and with the style you said u want to do, I think it will look more like Indo style..

USDM Hella Flush u would need to have a JDM style lip kit in Black on your silver Accord, with Hella Flush wheel, tire, and coil setup, with American Hella Flush, Wrong Fitment Crew and Area 50 stickers all the windscreen and Rear window...

haha yes, if i manage to pull off hellaflush style properly then I'll definitely throw up some stickerage on the rear window

Thanks for help 23, I've been looking around at lip kits and I've managed to source the wings west w-type kit like below. its the main kit used by US 6th Gen'ers with fat offset wheels and hella flush setups. what do you think?

Aside from that if I can't get hold of it or it becomes too exxy $$$ with shipping I've found a mugen replica lip kit which can also be purchased from overseas which would give more of a JDM look, also suited to hellaflush.

I think my car will be a bit of a mix of styles, but it will definitely not be ricey. I'm taking care choosing quality parts for the accord and want to do it right. I've definitely decided on hellaflush style for sussy and wheel setup and a clean look overall, so a simple lip kit, usdm headlights, eyelids, dark tint and some visors will most likely be the most obvious mods. exhaust and fujita intake are also going to added on.

here's the w-type kit (ignore the crappy wheel setup lol):

NP man,
I like he wings west kit, dunno what the back looks like but from the front and side it looks good,
I think your on the right track, the only problem is sourcing your parts and shipping them once u find them,
If the kit is polyurethane you can bend it to save shipping $$
The main thing I yhink with the 6th gen, that will set u apart from others i the grill, get an open design like the one I posted and it will look tough as.

Yeah man, its the shipping thats the bitch, costs as much as the kit itself. I got a quote from bodykits.com for the WW kit, its $700 USD for the Kit and another $550 for shipping. and its polyurethane too. All up $1200+ USD is going to be quite pricey to get it landed, thats the only issuse I have...

If it was available here for test fitting and buying, I'd have one in a second and would happily pay $1000+, shipping is the shit part because thats also the sea freight rate and will take 2 months to arrive.

In regards to the grill, in the 98-2000 6th Gen's the centrepiece for the grill is not removable (as in the horizontal bar, like in the pic I posted)

You can only change the grill on CK2 Accord 2001/02. I was contemplating getting the centre piece removed and done in a way so you wouldn't know it was ever there then getting a one piece grill for CK2...but if I do it and I don't like it I'm stuck with it.

Ahh the dilemmas of modifying!! haha

A dude from Hawaii on V6P.net has a VIP 6th Gen unlike anyone else...

I love his lip kit. Also on air runner.
The specs on his eurolines are: 18x8 +38 (F) and 18x9 +38 (R) with 215/40 (F) and 225/40 (R)

Exactly the same specs wheels and tyres I'm looking at putting on. Requires -2 Camber in rear (if wanting no finger gap/slammed) fender rolling all round and bumper tab relocation. If I get the same spec wheels I'm also going to get my rear guards pulled 3mm for some extra clearance.

here are some pics...

what do you think of this wheel setup? It's mildly aggressive which suits me well i think, as I can't afford new tyres every week and -6 camber haha. so -2on the rear is something I can live with.

*wheel pics at bottom are taken with 2 finger gap all round and 0 camber.

That car is from Team Revision, I have a few friends from there, There crew is one of the best VIP styled cars outsside of Japan

[RiceMeister]

Yeah, I've seen a few of their rides...pretty awesome stuff for non-jap VIP.

opinions on wheel setup? that post took me like 20mins to do haha

[RiceMeister]

any opinions on the above fitment?

[[ IV 23 VI ]]

The fitment is neat..
I would personally go a little more aggressive if buying brand new wheels and have the option of choosing offsets if your on air like that guy..

Are you sure he only has -2 camber? with airrunners he should have at least -5/6 deg camber in the rear, unless he has a camber kit..

if I was you I would go at least -3 in the rear, its always nicer to have the rears a little more, also you dont really notice -2.

Also tyres are a little chunky, get a 35 series instead of 40 series since u wont be on air like him u may scrub out.

But yeah that setup is nice.. all you need to do now is find wheels with that offset and size. lol

ive found the exact wheels im after...just waiting to install sussy

in regard to camber, how do you adjust how much camber you have? do you need a camber kit? I'm happy to run -3 in the rear, seen pictures and its still ok for daily. will natural camber do? or is there something i need to do to get -3?

im thinking 215/40/18 on front as they stretch just nicely and still will keep handling, however looking at 225/35/18 for rear, just to get a little more stretch and more clearance so I don't scrub. Also getting rear guards pumped 2-3mm to ensure even further that I won't scrub with 18x9 on the rear as I do carry passengers.

so my next question..

- pumped guards (2-3mm)
- 18x9 + 38 with 225/35/18
- dropped about 3.5 inch in rear (want to tuck tyre)
- bumper tab relocated.

fit ok?
