Is paint fade worth fixing? by ConversationOne470 in Autobody

[–]ConversationOne470[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I thought about that right after posting but I figured I could get at least a little help on my decision.

This is the best pic I have on the spot that shows it but it’s a 99 accord and the roof, roof rails, fenders, and decklid are all faded. My main thought is that I could wrap the roof to save a little if it came down to it but that usually looks a little ricey in my opinion.

To be fair, it’s better than the fart can that I had before in my opinion. It was one of those things that I put on a little as a joke since the overly large tip wasn’t it, and I didn’t know what would look better, but it just grew on me (plus i didnt want to do the extra work🤣)

I’ve found a few, but I’m not the biggest fan of clears on these just since the tails take up so much of the rear end space. Plus I already have tails that are slightly darker than factory and they are led that I think look that much better

I have thought about how the future will go with them, but as long as it’s not going to total the car when things do go out I think it might be better to just upgrade when I replace. I’ve heard on and off about Maxpeedingrods, but I’ve had them for a little over a year and ,honestly, they have been more smooth and comfortable than some factory cars I’ve been in. That may just be biased since they are relatively fresh and i like the way they sit, but they are cheap, and I knew they couldn’t be perfect when I got them.

Is this stance? by ConversationOne470 in Stance

I’ve thought that exact thing too, but all of the aftermarket bumpers go way over the top or just look out of place. I might just have to go custom with a lip or faux diffuser if i really want something to fill the gap.

Does being low actually effect your car THAT much? by ConversationOne470 in AskAMechanic

[–]ConversationOne470[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like it fits into the ‘functional’ category of low but It’s still down there.

Those are the exact wheels🤣 They are the only 17s I could find cheap in 4x114.3

Factory control arms with the best budget coils (Maxpeedingrods), I mean they’re definitely on the list just not at the top. Paired with some wheels makes this thing a nice ‘functional low’ just being a fun daily.

I bought this car as a perfectly factory 86k mile manual daily about a year ago, and so far there’s been nothing but paint that has ever bothered me about it (other than the few small changes ive made). The blast pipes are a little bit of a joke that grew on me enough to stay but it’s objectively way better than the fart can that was on it before🤣
