It's been a while, but I have done a few extra mods...

Since I had my OE grille and no one wanted it, I lit it up
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b338/oldmanatee/grillelights003.jpg

Then, I cleared my headlights...but don't get on me too hard, I have chrome bulbs on the way

My main trouble is I have a steady supply of 5mm LEDs and not enuff time to install them all. I will put 2 more in the footwells under the dash, am wanting to put 2 each in the "oh sh*t" handles, I have a plan to illuminate the IP behind the glass at shows, and lastly, rig up some 'City Lights' in front and perhaps something along the same lines in the rear....(I got a couple of red ones for that)

Just an update in case anybody was wondering...

I have hit 100,000 miles, taken over my maintenance since it is now out of warranty and gave my baby her first dose of Mobil1. As crazy as it seems, I'd swear that the motor feels just a little smoother!
Since it was oil change day, that means it was tire rotation day as well. Rims got a waxing and all 4 tires were inspected and all rocks were removed from the treads. While she was up on jackstands, I crawled up under and washed some of the dirt off the trailing arm and sway bar. My springs are still purple! It has been a while since I had seen that. Had most of the folks thru the 'hood ride by real slow just to see what was going on. What the heck, the neighbors stopped asking what I am doing long ago....

Not that it's changed much, but new pics will be here soon.

I agree... 18s look good on xAs, but your 17s look better than that style of 18. You seem like you are more into drivability than looks. If you were into looks than you would have picked up some Racing Hart 19 inch C2s or Axis 7s.

Stick with your 17s, they look good.:tu:

Anybody want a set of lightly used 18's?

And yessir, those are the TYC's. I wish my headlights would stay as clear as my tails have. I am contemplating a light tint job on them.. any thoughts?

the 18s you are talking about are the ones in your pics??? they are dual 4 bolt, right? if so, i have a friend with an accord that might be interested, let me know a price.
