1997 Honda Accord Ex Wagon.

Well now on to my second wagon, sold my first one after the problems with it were too much.
I flew from Iowa to Texas to pick up a rust free fifth gen wagon.
Going for the traditional style wagon look.

Current Mods:
CF2 Headlights
MDX wood wheel/sixth gen airbag
SIR/SE wood console trim
Hood and Sunroof Deflector
4th Gen wheels

Plans:
Respray
Full Wald lip kit
Wald grille
18x8-9 +25-30 Wheels
215/35/18 tires
Type Two coilovers
Custom exhaust
Little VIP touches

I sold my Wald wheels and bought SSR Viennas.
Specs are 18x8.5/9 +30/37.
I ordered 10mm spacers for the back, and extended lugs.
Also on the ordering sheet were Skunk2 CRX upper control arms, generic rear adjustable arms, no name locking lugs because you will never see them, TruHart StreetPlus coil overs, and 215/35/18s.
With everything installed I realized a few parts need to be swapped out. The coil overs will be switched out to Type Twos with custom spring rates, thinking 14k/10k. And the rear generic adjustable arms will be swapped out for ether SPC or Ingalls.
I also installed clear front bumper lights until I can find SiRs for a 96/97 bumper. Cut out the fenders for clear DEPO sidemarkers, but will be ordering JDM fenders in the spring.
Also looking to get leather diamond stitch seat covers from Japan on my next order.
After all that is done, it will be time for paint, and re finish the wheels.
