Default 2008 Honda accord ... upgrades?

My name is nick and I just got my 2008 Honda Accord 4 Cylinder 2.4L automatic about 4 or 5 months ago. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on upgrades that won't void my warranty.
Heres some pictures

Cosmetic mechanical or both?


Edit: Walked across the hall to talk to some buddies bout it, and there really aren't any when we looked for performance parts, most will prolly void it if they are not bolt ons (if not all)

It really boils down to your service advisor at the dealership. Technically speaking, they can void almost anything they want that isnt OEM & Installed at a Honda Dealership.

Get to know your service advisor, and rub them the right way. That is your best way in. If you would like some recommendations, you should post up in the regional forum and see if anyone works or can reccomend you to a laidback advisor.

The advisor I have has been my advisor for the past 10yrs. Ive followed him from dealer to dealer. He replaced 4 of my transmissions under warranty, keep in mind the last two were at 50,000mi and 90,000mi, even though I had a Apex-i VAFC, Intake, Headers, Exhaust, Strait Pipe, and alot of rubber on the fender liner from a burn outs ... hehe ... He was cool

That's just my $.02

Really Honda makes a 5 cylinder? Didnt know that. Apparently Honda doesnt know it either.....

LX-S / EX / EX-L =Engine Type In-Line 4-
EX-L V-6 = Cylinder V-6
