Oh man, there are soooooo many different cleaning products around these days, I just don't know what to go with anymore.. and everyone has their own favourites so it's not even worth me starting a new thread asking what's best to use!

Lol, said the man with black wheels on his car

Lowering is another dilemma. I really don't want to lower it. After what must have been 6 or so years of putting up with bumps and holes at 1 mph and avoiding car parks and places, it is quite nice to to just drive. The ATR is already a bit lower than the standard Accord and, with my Solid Fabs exhaust, i still get scrapes.

But then on the other hand, looks are also important, and it would look so much better is lowered. At the moment, the practicalities of a standard ride height outweigh the desire for looks.

How deep are your pockets? A set of bags would solve your height probs.. I couldn't comment on the ride quality though.

Black on black looks really mean on the ATR....

the reason i have black rims is because my lude isn't black

have put white rims on and they looked bloody awfull

yours being true black they would look epic

agree with ride height comfort over looks

this can still be achieved with larger sidewalls on the tyres

215/40's on mine no speed bumps and scrapes, 215/45's clear all bumps and no scrapes

I think the dark grey/silver is a winner and you wont have to destroy a zorst or your back!!! and you can play it to the missus as you did it for her so next time you wanna go proper crazy on the car you have a barter starting point.lol

I think i am swaying towards this, which was my original plan.
