lookin sharp bro!!! r those the oem wheels, or are they from a newer honda?

 

Oh yeah the Honda is looking great. Man that silver never looked so good. I guess it got a birthday present too with a Zaino treatment. You are right too SC Tire is some good looking stuff!

 

Thanks Dust... The rims are off the oem 8th gen Accord

Thanks JL!!

I was going to see the durability I could get out of my last lsp (sn) but it got the better of me... SC Tire pro - it's the goods!

 

Very nice Jason, I hope you treated yourself better than the car on your birthday.

 

Man wicked pictures :druling: :druling:

The silver looks wicked :druling: :druling:

Question how did you do this picture:

 

looks good

 

Wow, not too fond of the 7th gens but I have to admit that this particular one is definitely sexy! Is this your vehicle Jason? Those 8th gen wheels are really hot too!!!

 

Thanks AR.. I had a really nice Japanese dinner on my b-day....

Thanks Nica...:thumb: I simply put the camera on top of my hand and my hand on top of the ground and shot it...

Thanks

Thanks Denzil:thumb:..The wheels are love or hate..and yes, this is mine

 

sweeet i was just about to say the 8th gen wheels dont look bad on the 7th gen. Is it an 03?

 

thanks Sneerk - Yep, 2003... I wanted something different that didn't look aftermarket... I was going to get TL's but decided on these

 

What was here name.:thumb:

 

Oh, I must have missed a part, I thought it was a clients! haha Looks great as usual!! I used to have the TL -A rims on my gen7, but then I got bored of them and ended up getting the factory wheels back. Now I have the 08...so I have those wheels too!

 

Love it Jason! Your accord is looking sharp Love the ground pic, nice gloss!

 

Wow look great Jason, one question how long did the zaino process take you. I used to use zaino but to do what you did always took me way to long example zaio, z6,z5,z6,z2. The car looks great buddy!!!

:LOL2:

No worries... Yup, you are sporting the same set up... my tires are a little bigger than the OEM wheels on either the 7th or 8th gen.. I think it gives it a more grounded and substantial look for the 7th gen.... rides GREAT as well!!!

Thanks Ketil!!! I was very happy with the way it turned out!

To be honest it was a breeze... I did the AIO and while it was on the paint I finished up the wheels... Quick detailing them and then AW them and then dressing the tires and wells.. (I frgot to mention I used adams on the wells).

By that time AIO was ready to come off.. used Z-6..

The Z5 zfx'd is great because once it's comes off you are ready to go... for good measure I did Z6 in betweed and Z8 after the last layer of Z5 zfx'd... all in all 2.5 hours or so but I was doing other things in between such as the wheels; wells; glass (501 & AW) and I was not just enjoying the beautiful late day...

 

It's beautiful:thumb: Nice picture:applause:

Did you get it from Honda catalogue?:giggle: just kidding:giggle:

 

Looks sharp buddy nice work on the paint

 

Very reflective and wet, especially for that silver.
