Man. I was ready to cop MMP or VRSF relocated inlets but can't find a shop willing to do the job. Talking to a guy now in my area selling his aFe intake, so I might just settle for now.

What do you guys think of the 9th gen V6 Accord coupe? FWD sucks but the interior features / tech are superior to anything else in the 20k price range.
You get Honda reliability, cost of ownership is cheap, it's a nice looking coupe, and the interior seems like it could go toe to toe with cars that cost 10-15k more.
I'm starting to lean this way.

Will always love Honda and the accord. Sport Coupe and sedan are very nice including the interior. Stock sound system is nice and like you said, reliability is on your side. I didn't mind FWD. better in crappy weather than RWD. S/o to mustang

My dad has an 8th gen coupe, 4cyl though. He bought it brand new. It has close to 140k miles on it and it hasn't had a single problem. I'm pretty sure he doesn't even really take care of it
he also drives pretty aggressive

what is the purpose of a wrap?
Poor mans paint job?
someone at my job was complaining someone dinged his wrap and now has to get the whole car wrapped again

It allows you to change color while keeping the original paint job. And wouldn't he just have to wrap that panel?

i was looking at an 06 aston for 42k. glad i came to my senses b/c i would only be paying for the name. I'll just keep it modest and check out some 14 vettes. close to the same price but much more modernized.

he'd only have to paint the panel. i wrapped mine, because i was tired of silver. i didn't want to pay $5000+ for a paint job that would only hurt resale in the end if i ever decided to get rid of the car. most places will charge $2k-$3k for a wrap job, but you can do it yourself with some patience for about $500 (cost of vinyl). plus you can do some matte/stain/chrome colors or different designs if you want.

Yeah that's the 3M Gloss Storm Grey, or at least something very similar. I know Google Images brings up pics of Nardo Grey, but that's not the actual color. Took us awhile to find, so hopefully I can save you that painful search. Literally everyone tried to tell us it was the Nardo Grey (3m gloss Battleship gray) but personally I think that color is played out. Maybe theres another color that's even more gray, but we couldn't find one. It's def not an exact Modegrau.

Edit: You may also want to look at Avery "Grey" as well if that's more your style. It's in between the two.

Order a small $1 sample of each color you're considering and look at it in all types of lighting. Did half my car the first time and it looked great in my garage. Took it outside and it looked more brown than gray so I took it off and started all over.

Is it hard to wrap or is it time consuming? Or does it matter if its a truck or car?
