It's funny looking back on when you first started modding cars... whether it was many cars ago when you first got into it, or in the case of my best friend Bill, 6+ years ago when he got his first car an '02 V6 Accord Coupe. It's always cool to take some time to look back and remember where you started and how far you have come with a car. I guess that's one reason why I enjoy photography so much... it brings back memories. I remember the day he brought the car home, gold pin stripe's and all lol! While many of our friends (myself included) have moved on from our first cars and are now modding something else, Bill has remained loyal to his Accord over the years and boy has it come a LONG way!
Throwback of my old GSR, our buddy Tek's old 20th + Bad Boy Eyebrow lol, and Billy's Accord. All of us truckin' it on stock wheels and suspension lol.
Sometimes I joke with him that he has replaced everything on the car twice because well... he almost has haha. But in Bill's defense, let's face it our style/taste and our vision for our cars evolves over the years. From our teenage years when all we wanted was the biggest, baddest, and loudest stereo system, to today where we are spending our hard earned money on rare JDM pieces, and one of a kind wheels. This may not have been one of the quickest builds, and yes it may have taken replacing a few parts twice to get it right, but one thing is for certain Bill's Accord is one of the cleanest around!
Taken in Nashville, TN when were down there in July for Import Alliance
What started as a set of 17x8/9 +47 Work Equip DDC's w/ Silver spokes and lips that were showing their age... Are now 17x8.5/9.5 +40 Work Equip DCC's w/ Polished faces, brushed inners, and freshly polished lips. Take a close look cause you'll never see another set like these!
Notice the Junction Produce Fusa hanging from his rear view... Bill's got a little VIP in him.
And oh yeah... he's Spoon Certified :)
