From my understanding(what I have read, and not seen with my own eyes) the paint job looks like crap in person(I could be wrong).

Am I not getting something here?

Because the older Accord in the article on Stance Works is not the same guy that the article that is on Jalopnik is referring to.

This man speaks with logic. The guy that did that crappy spacer job is some like 2001 Civic, not an Accord from the 80's. I don't know how you guys gathered one from the other on this.

The link is that lowering was done the same way, but one had a stancework article written about him the other one was made fun of.

Thanks for clearing it up. I was confused for a sec.

The 86 Accord isn't "lowered" the same as the 2001 Civic. The accord has the shock mounts raised to gain some kind of suspension travel, the Accord uses upper control arms, but the Civic uses McPherson struts so brunt of the force was riding on his camber plate or whatever the hell he made. It's not the same.
