How about a pic to start off? Of yourself that is. 
The looks need to correlate with each other. If we get a better understanding of how you look we'll be able to help you out better!

well... exhaust, intake, header... all of those will only get you about 2hp gains...
with an accord, if you're going to start modding; you have to start big! Engine swap!

ya do that, cause cars that sound like they are just farting along are super cool. Also, who needs an ozone layer anyways? It's not like skin cancer is gonna kill you.

From what I understand, suspension is one of the 1st things you should do for your car. Lowering springs and struts are decent mods to make to your Accord, but yea, don't do I/H/E yet, you'll be wasting $$$. Why not explain your goals first, what do want to do with your car?

The first thing you should do is invest in some new struts and springs. If you plan to do an engine swap or turbo then that would be the smartest thing, because if you get a 50-100HP increase on your car then the car will not be able to handle the power. That's dependant on whether you want to go that route or not, if you don't plan on a swap or FI then I'd just do bolt ons...intake first

Re: what should my first upgrade be?? (RaceKarWilly)
Personally I think suspension is a good decision myself. I have a 99 accord and i lowered it, now im goin through engine mods but it all can depend on your expense account....if you have enough money get a swap and then do stuff, would be the most wise decision because if you find a website they usually sell tranny's with the engines. The engines generally range from around 1500-3000 so if you have that deep of a pocket to start off go for a swap because it'll benefit you in the long run

This would help us out to figure out what mods would be best.

Re: (Three Lines)
wheels, suspension & brakes.
id say wheels first to figure out how much you want to drop your car.
then get suspension and brakes to make sure you dont crash and WASTE your car.
