Hi all,

Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Casper, 17 years old, and am located in South Jersey. I drive a 1998 Accord. Its a 5 speed manual. Only 75k miles on the original engine. I purchased the car, with my own money (i've had a job since 15), for $3800 about 8 months ago and am absolutely loving it. Although I wanted a bugeye, not only was the car itself out of my price range, but the insurance was also absolutely absurd. I ended up settling for the Accord to get me through my last years of high school and my entire education and I couldn't ask for a better first car.

The car is currently green and has the horrible trunk/hood/roof paint issue. I'm currently in the process of getting it painted black. I also think it looks horrid at stock ride height.

Yesterday I ordered:
Clear headlights
XXR 006 17x8 (black with silver lip)


I'm probably going to have some ridiculous questions, but please bear with me.

The interior is perfect. The previous owners, an old couple, bought the car brand new in 98. I feel like my horrid and your horrid are two different things. Theres no rust anywhere on the car. Its more of a "man, this would look so much better if I painted it" horrid.

I've already read up a ton before posting. I'll be sure to read everything though.
