96 accord ideas

[96hondaacc]

Hey
I just bought my first car. Its a 96 accord ex 4 door. I am 19 and going to college so i don't have a lot of money. but i do want to make this car stand out a little. I went straight from the honda dealer that i bought it at to my local car audio shop. I bought a complete audio system and installed it myself. I want to spend about another $1000-1500 on the car but i am not sure what the best bang for my buck is. Any suggestions would be nice. I am also taking the car down to work in New Jersey for 4 months at the end of the semester so reliability is import.

what are you going for looks, power what??

well i am considering getting rims, but if i do that i will be spending most of my budget on those alone. But i was hoping I could afford to get some 17's and a nice set of seats. But i have been looking around and I cant seem to find any good quality seats at a reasonable price. So I am thinking maybe along the lines of exhaust, intake, and headers instead. all I know is that I don't want to go cheap. I would rather do less things to my car and do them right. Do you think that with a budget around 1500 that rims is a good route? I already have a stereo and this car is just and everyday daily driver. Basically I am just looking for some personal opinions and suggestions.

Get rims, don't mess with the engine, that could be just asking for trouble if you want a reliable car. Good luck!

ya that is the way i am leaning right now. also does anyone know where i can get some nice seats fairly cheap? I am not looking for some crazy racing seats but rather something that looks clean and are comfortable.

also 17's or 18's??

For tires, the larger the better IMO, but you will have to see if the cost is worth it. I have no idea on seats, but there are some dang nice seat covers out there right now too, and they are super cheap.
