Simple clean look?

Okay, here's what you do...

-Get a drop! Most important element. A good set of coilovers = WIN.
-Clean 17" or 18" wheels. Chrome is almost always FAIL. rarely works IMO.
-Blackhoused headlights, maybe put together a retro in them.
-Debadge rear emblems other than the H.
-Since you live in TX, I'm gonna say a moderate tint would be good. Don't bother any lower that 20%.
-Clean up your engine bay, bring back some shine to the hoses and just keep it as dirt-free as possible.
-As for beginning performance mods... you can do simple things like a CAI or SRI, catback exhaust (Magnaflow still sounds best for V6 IMO).
-Strut bar and rear sway bar are good subtle suspension upgrades as well.



-You really don't need to touch any aftermarket headlights or anything chrome or anything involving neons to get a nice clean look that ppl will love. :thumbsup:


Welcome! and good luck!

Welcome! They've covered almost everything already. One thing I need to say. GO EASY ON YOUR TRANSMISSION. DO NOT manually shift through it, rev it in 1st and hit 2nd... roll in neutral... anything that you've hurt of that can hurt it. Our cars have weak-*** trannys... and you don't want to change yours >_<

i say you keep it stock for a few months....then decide what direction to go....you obviously are new to the accord scene...why decide before you've researched all your options...
