VIP accord wagon (ce1)

[josh is cool]

Hey guys. This is my accord wagon that i'm attempting to make VIP/exe. I know the rims are not even close to VIP and thats because they aren't permanent. Future rims will most likely be some Jline VIPrl's 18" by 8 in front and 18" by 8.5-9 in the rear. Contructive criticism on how to make the car look more VIP/exe is most welcome. The current wheels are made by ssr and again they are NOT PERMANENT.

Here goes...

This is a rough photoshop done by my brother (matt is legit) of the rims that i will be getting. Hopefully the car will be on airrunner as well.

Yep... <-- V --> same ol' formula. Even the wheels you have on now would be set off by a nice drop. Personally I like wagons with some noticeable camber and sand/taupe is a hard colour to pull off, so if you want people to really think "vip/exe", I think a black respray is in order.

Good luck , i want to see how your car turn out

alrighty then another 5thgen accord owner!! great.
its going to take A LOT to get an accord to look right. i say that only because we already get sh!773d on pretty much by everyone, even by civic owners. my recommendation is to go that extra mile. if you want EXE i would get a noblesse kit or similar and fabricate it on. its not really hard to do, i have made many custom kits. find the look you want regardless of what the kit is for and let me know if you need help from there. i do have one kit in mind though.


but first things first
lletss clean up.
remove:
-all emblems
-chrome sticky strips on bumpers
-roofracks(sell it on ebay)

i think a 1" drop on top of whatever u have + nice fitting wheels

Airrunner sounds good to me. Slam the hell out out of it, and I agree with OnTop, get rid of all of the chrome lining, badges and the roof rack needs to go. But it seems to me that it has a lot of potential, and could be an excellent project.

[josh is cool]

hmm i always thought chrome lining was vip? :-\

[vipguy]

in my opinion.. it looks very "cheesy" on your car..
it was a good try, but i honestly don't really care for it.
but it is your car, if you like it, go for it..

[shoez]

hmm i always thought chrome lining was vip?* :-\


Just remember, not all chrome lining is "VIP" man. My grandparents Lexus LS400 has it and it dosen't look half bad, but then again the Hyundai Accent down the street has it too but it looks tacky. :P
But don't get discouraged, its just in the very early stages of a VIP project, there are many steps that need to be taken and I think the chrome is just a little something that will make it that much hotter! :)

in one of my vip wagon magazines i have a ce1 with a model parfume front then sides, door panels and rear from some other kit.... but it looks bad ass. no wide fenders or nothin and it was hot...

thats exactly what i would do with an accord wagon. no other way period!
