even tho, in my opinion, your car is still not low enough..if you lower the rear, itll be passable since you have a big kit and no gap at least. do you have side skirts?

musta pare!
you probably need to make the lip on the bumper smaller so it doesn't hit too much
also lower the back a little bit more so the front goes up a little bit. It helps

thanks for the suggestion, actually it's not a lip but it's a whole big bumper that came from Japan.I'm still thinking of cutting it horizontally and removing 1-2 inches.

not a bad looking accord, great attempt, better than most i've seen. Since you can't go lower bc of scraping then you should get air. The interior turned out really nice. Don't care for the dash mat but it does look good.
