What going on guys, I’m new to this form. I was just looking for a little help making my car look better. It has over 200,000 miles and it’s my daily driver. I am a college student so money is tight for me at the moment. I hate the color but can’t afford a new paint job, trying to make the best of it. Not really looking for performance, but better sound from the mufflers would be nice. I have a short ram intake and the resonator deleted with stock mufflers. I’m trying to avoid as much riceyness as possible. Thank you for any help
5% tint on all back windows, and legal in the front
Black housed headlights
Black tint on rear day running lights, and lightly smoked break lights.
Short ram intake
Resonator delete, stock muffler
20’’ chrome rims, one inch lift in back because the rims are too wide.

bro your 4x4 is worse then myn haha, id say sell the wheels and pick up some stocks or something and drop it to the ground, im also not a big fan of chrome period let alone on a silver car, the color seems dull at first but it grows on u it grew on me and i actually really love the color, so i say drop it and get rid of the chrome haha, look into some lip kits, go unique with it. clean start though :beer:

Lol, thanks for the advice. I wish the car was silver but it’s actually a girly baby blue color, it just looks silver in the right lighting and at night. I’m trying to see what else I can do to help out with the color of the car.

welcome bro...

recomendations would be
shave your accord badge... but if you want to keep them then atleast straighten out the V6 badge
lower it so your car doesnt look like a monster truck... with the right drop it will make the 20's looks better
lip kits always look good

UHHHH I'm not a fan of chrome either .. or 20's .. or tinted tail lights .. and iono why but i've never gotten into the LEDs under the headlights either .. but I love blackhoused headlights :D You should drop it as low as you possibly can, and get some 18's .. 17's if your streets are good .. don't get a lip kit or other wheels til you're dropped .. i'd sell the wheels and buy FF1's with some stockies for now since you're strapped for cash ..

Roll your fenders and lose the wheel gap and u might be able to make those wheels look okay.

Lower your car!!!

i think everyone is being a bit too dramatic about the chrome, I think it looks tasteful. 20's might be a bit too large but if you lower the wheel gap and add a lipkit all the way around the car I'm sure you could change some peoples opinions. Goodluck!
