Hey everyone! I've had an account for a while now but never got to do any real posting or anything with the account till today! I have owned my '99 Coupe EX-L 4 cyl 5 Spd since November of 2012. It's been a long time coming but its getting cleaner every day. I like the stock looks of the car but plan to do a lot of swapping of parts from the 2002.
Unfortunately, I (or my car I guess) was a victim of odometer fraud. While I don't know for sure, I am forced to guess that my car has upwards of 180-190k miles. Unfortunately, after performing a compression test and looking over how clean the drive train of the car was as a whole, I was dumb and didn't run the CarFax. The cluster must have been swapped. It really ticked me off when I found out but I guess I have to live with that. That being said, I haven't had to do one thing to the car and haven't had any lights to deal with.
I added a few things so far...
It came with an intake. I added a Megan Racing Strut bar. Installed a new clutch when I bought the car. Exedy OEM replacement. Did all maintenance I saw fit. New brakes, timing belt, fluid flushes, etc. But its a Honda. What more should I have to do? Haha!
Recently did a Big 3 upgrade with Got02Accord. Pics and write up to come.
I installed a new stereo and used an Alpine PDX-V9 amplifier as the heart. Wonderful amplifier.
Added Homelink and a sunroof visor. If anyone has the manual climate controls and clock for the 01-02 Accord, a PM would be greatly appreciated. I really like the tighter look in the later model year.
In the future, I plan on swapping bumpers and making the body as clean as possible. Considering either a 5 lug swap or GSR blades but seeing as my tires and brakes are new, if it is soon that I do anything with wheels, it will probably be the blades. I installed a junkyard trunk lid with the factory OEM wing and a junkyard driver door as mine looked as if someone tried to break into the car at one point. The wing has Accord engraved in it so it is Honda OEM.
I love the car. It is a lot of fun. Plans will obviously increase with time but in any case, its great to be here.

Hope to talk to everyone and get a great experience with a Honda family!
New late 2014 pics up! Still on my way. Car has been through a full paint correction with thanks to Cody, Got02Accord. No more pinstripe. I liked the pinstripe but when I replaced the door and fender, they were not present on those two parts.

And most wheels, also had 5 lug wheels (5×114.3+~40) on my s13 with some adapters (4-5-lug, ~1" thick, =~+12 effective). If someone breaks a lug, they're doing it wrong!
