Whats goood everyone! I am so excited to own my very first Honda! Im a 19 year old college student, and this will be my second car in 2 years. My first was a 2000 VW Jetta that is totaled now all thanks to my sister!... I let her borrow my car for one night and sure enough.....some idiot didnt see her sitting behind a car at a stop sign and smashed into the entire back of the jetta...she then proceeded to hit the car in front of her. She wasnt hurt at all by the accident thankfully, but my VW unfortunately was.
The Jetta
After your sister borrows it for one night....
So since got a full-time job for the summer about 30 minutes away from my house in CT, I was in need of a car. My parents also knew that sharing a family car with me simply wouldnt work, so luckily a close friend of theirs was getting rid of their 2002 Honda Accord LX Sedan for only $1,000 with 150,XXX miles on it. The car is in good condition except for a couple spots.
MY question to you guys is what do you think would need to be done to the car first. I have thought of a list of things that I want to do within the first couple weeks of getting the car.
1.) Get an oil change/ Replace stock filter with a K&N drop-in filter.
2.) Get new hubcaps to replace dirty stock ones.
Would these fit on my accord?
They are Civic Hubcaps and here is the ebay link..

What do you think?Would those look good?
3.) Fix the paint scratch on the right rear panel behind the wheel (seen in pic)
-What would my best approach to fixing this be?
-Is there a special kit to buy?
-The color code for the blue 02 accord (eternal blue pearl I believe?)
Any Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
