My honda's chosen. Whats first step?

Hello, the noobs back. I've pretty much picked out the Honda I want, as long as the shop check out comes back positive tomorro, im pretty much decided.




My initial task is to tint those windows to maximum legal tint.

The second on is to find a nice spoiler to add to the back, painted to match the cars color. Do you have recommendations on website to to view Accords with a variety of spoilers on them, or a site that shows spoilers in general?

Possibly, I would like to add a nice ground effect kit, but I can't go to low as the roads in Montana are really bumpy and the winters can get brutal, so i'll need clearance.

I would like to add some of those nice shiny tail lights that I see on a Lota of Honda's.

I would like to add some nice chrome blade style rims to the car, but Im not sure if getting ones for the stock tires is a good idea or getting new tread completely would be better, but I don't wanna pay a huge arm and leg for a whole new set of tires and rims.

Basically, any suggestions and info would be great, now that you've seen the car.

Hey man, I forgot the whole story about your car, so I'll go back and read your other post. Anyway, that's the exact car you're getting? Looks nice man. 4dr too...very Well the first thing I'd do is drop it. Then I'd start working on the engine. Being that the exterior is probably the parts that would get dicked up the most...just like from bumps, rock chips, scrapes etc, I'd leave that for last.

As for rims, you might like mine. The picture in my sig on the lefthand side...those are actually my old rims. I'd get some 17's or 18's and some low profile tires...

Well I'm gonna go back to my checkers game. Hope you get the car man. Looks like you have a great car to start with

I won't be doing any engine, as I just can't afford something like that, nor do I have the tech skills to do it myself.

As far as lowering it, the more I think about it, the more its just not a good idea seeings with the road conditions we have up here.

What I want to do for sure.....


#1 Tint windows to maximum legal tint

#2 Add painted spoiler

#3 Replace tailgate lights with nicer shinier ones

#4 Replace tail pipe

#5 Get larger smaller profile rims and tires to somewhat lower the car but still give enough cushion so I don't feel every damn bump in the road. Im confused on this inches thing, perhaps you could elaborate a bit for me..

Just what every car needs...a nice big wing...and did you really need to specify "to add to the back"...I cannot think of anyplace a spoiler would go other than the back =\

Believe me, I've seen a small spoiler on the front bumper, underneath the car, put upside down. It was the gayest thing I'd ever seen.
