Im lookin for opinions on what to do next.........
Here is a Picture of my accord as it sits now. I would like to know whether I should Turbo the H22A swap I have in it, Do the interior, change wheels, or redo the stereo system in it?

Re: (hitmen9342)
i would think a show judge would appreciate a well done interior to finish "the look"... that being said it might take away some of the daily drivability. i think turboing it would kinda be a waste because like you said its a show car.

Re: (ilikehonda)
k, well like others have said this isnt exactly my type of car, but like youve said, theres no need to bash it, its your car, you do what you think looks good, not other guys on an internet forum.
with that being said, i think id agree with doing the interior, a turbo wont help much as for getting you points for a "show car". If there were some other wheels you were looking into, that may be a choice too. What does the interior look like right now in it?

If it works for you, it works
Turbo vs show work is kind of like the eternal question: what's cooler, left or blue?
If you want the car to be faster, get the turbo. If it looks nice the judges will like it too. OTOH, if you are ok with the car's speed, modding the interior will help alot for the shows. Maybe even doing something a bit more custom with the exterior, take it up a notch with some custom work (holy crap I did just say that )
Just let us know how it turns out

posting a car like that here will invite these kind of comments. get used to it and don't take it to heart.

For what it's worth I too think your car is horrible looking. BUT I will help you out.
I think a turbo kit would help you back up all the small that body kit and paint job are talking. But if you're going for that show thing make sure you polish every item before you install it and do a wire tuck while you are at it. It makes the engine bay so much cleaner.

Not a big fan of what you've done like a few others, but they also need to realize you didn't come in here starting some gay *** thread. With that in mind, do the interior. If it's a show car you're more than likely going to want to have it looking good on the inside.

There are mad haters here on HT dont worry about em, your car is yours u build it for u and not for others. So dont take anything to personally because what some other people on here think is nice i laugh at. So ur car is fine and i like ur wheels. As for what u should do next idk but u dont need to redue wheels.

Re: (eminkel)
Get someone to put some fender flares on it, put on some wide wheels wiht a really low offset, VW style.
Don't try VIP style. Just get some deep dish chromies. Interior is a plus too but I dont know what you can really do wiht an Accord interior...

GET SUICIDE DOORS!!!! DO THE INTERIOR TO MATCH YOUR CAR COLOR AND MAKE IT LEATHER! ur stereo system alrdy looks crazy so leave it hahah. unless you want to upgrade it to something better but the custom work is crazy. BUt i suggest the suicide doors and interior. Hope your engine looks clean polished.

Do you have any underhood shots?
+1 to a wire tuck
Polishing everything under the hood, and going with color matched silicon hoses, and added some braided line under the hood would be a nice way to clean up the bay and make the car more finished.

Your posts are being reported. I'm goinig to leave your posts and your thread, but please be aware that you face an uphill battle getting a marque forum at Honda-Tech to like what you have done so far.
Although your means of expression is entirely legitimate, it's not something the majority of people here are going to like.
I'll ask the posters not to bash your ideas and efforts, but I am not sure it's going to work.
Very best of luck.
