What's up everyone? I picked up a 99' Accord Sedan (3.0 V6 vtec) last month and it was a steal. I paid $1500 for it. It was sitting at 150k miles but the paint was fine and was in great condition and I've been keeping it under great maintenance since then. I'm 26 years old and I've been a Honda enthusiast since my first Civic in high school. I do all my mods myself and I am looking to keep spending (wisely, of course) :p I'm here to browse the forums for good info and maybe post some questions too. Here are a few pics...

I know I still need to have minor cosmetics done. I'm going mainly for show and to make it look appealing and not necessarily scary fast. It is an automatic so I'm not looking to race up and down the streets with it. The only advice I need is from others are for best looks and/or sound. By sound I mean inside and engine sounds. I've got a full Rockford Fosgate stereo system complete with two 12" woofers and 10's in the sidepanels powered by a 900 watt RF amplifier, hooked up to a JVC LCD deck. As far as engine mods go for sound, I've got a short ram intake, AM headers to full catback dual exhaust. Is there anything else I could do?

I bought them from a local autoshop so they're not anything special. I don't really remember the brand either lol.

Thanks. Which lights do you suggest? I've had a few people tell me my taillights were out of style and that I should have kept the OEM ones on there. I've kinda been leaning on switching them back.

OEM tails and Black housed / or retro'd headlights.
For a body kit it doesn't look bad.
Definitely needs lowered.

I like the body kit, just would look better with the slit in front of the front wheels filled in. Rear one looks alright. There are some retrofit headlights in the FS section if you want projector headlights, or OEM's blackhoused/colormatched look good. For the rear tails, I personally love the red/clear DEPO tails on 98-00 sedans. Or the all red tail look is good too, especially with white.

A CAI like a V2 or the like gives a nice deep meaty sound to the V6's. Got one for sale if interested.

Oh, and welcome to the site. :)

OEM blackhoused and/or retrofitted headlights, and some oem tails would make it so much better, as others have mentioned

im not a fan of the kit, but to each his own
