just want to see what some of your accents look like. Cant find to many good pictures on the internet. Im thinking of doing black with the black housing on the headlights and smoking the tail lights. but want to see what all the different colors you guys have look like.

Dealer did a great job under the hood making it look all pretty. Always try to figure what they're trying to cover. Which was nearly bald tires (I think they did a rim swap to something with a better body buy more miles. 26k miles and two tires were beyond bad and one was at the sketchy state. I don't think the previous owner did any maintenance on it "It's gor 100 thouzan warrantee! I don need to doo nuffin!" Tranny fluid was black and stunk, oil was sludgy (had both changed twice in the first couple months I owned it. On my 2nd round of doing all the fluids. Tires are heading for 11 years old. Buddy of mine is pushing to get them changed. Still a pretty engine bay.

I think the heat shield on my exhaust manifold looked like that when I drove the car of the lot...and then winter happened. :p

These Escort wheels are a good choice- not the very lightest but alloy and not that expensive, but they are NOT a direct bolt on despite 4 x 100 bolt pattern and same hub bore.. The fronts require a 1/8 alloy flat spacer against the hub to clear the top of the brake calipers then. I've since added the center caps that say "Ford" - oh well.

Only 5.5 inches, you can drop down to 165 width and save gas if you want

Here's some pictures for you guys and gals.. 2018 Accent.. fuel tank rusted out, failed lining treatment from factory. Bought new and always serviced at dealership. Hyundai tried the old bad fuel excuse but tested both current tank load and only outlet we use (company account for 30 years) and all tested OK. Insurance assessor report states failure of lining material. Hyundai declined warranty claim. Easy job to check yours if you have one of these modern ones.. ours done in now with corrosion particles right through the system.. repair quote $10,371.00. Good luck all, never again this brand.

My 2009 GLS. Since these photos were taken I've upgraded the headlights to a set with smoked gray lenses and no bright orange reflector. I'm rocking a set of Chinese Enkeis I got off AliExpress. Windows are tinted, and I did a full LED swap, including a flasher relay from Diode Dynamics. I have some plans to get this car looking somewhat decent with fog lights, lowering springs, OEM-style mudguards, maybe some other stuff. I know I want a short throw shifter; I've been eyeing this one from Cosmo Racing.

I originally bought the car as a beater for the Michigan winters. Since realizing how fun it is (and cheap) I've been driving it a lot more.
