What else to do...
I have a 1992 honda accord, and I'm looking to make it a little nicer (NICE not RICE)
So, I'm looking into some things I can do to jazz it up a bit, but NO racing parts (no exhaust, no air intakes, blah blah blah)
Heres what I have:
1992 Honda Accord
Eternal blue metallic paintjob
Pioneer 6x9 (2)
Pioneer 5.24 (2, doors)
Low spoiler (nice low one, not a fancy shmancy aerodynamic 3 foot tall one)
New tail lights (i know it screams rice, but the old ones weren't cutting it)
What else is there to do to it, to keep it real, without going rice?
This is my wishlist as of now:
17" rims
Tinted windows
subs/amp
And I may want to get it lowered, but not much (just like 1-2 inches)
Any ideas?
Thanks.

altezzas are ricey, but if you like them then thats what counts. Eibach makes really good springs to lower ride height. may want to read the basic guide at the top of the page, it will give you some good ideas regarding suspension upgrades

for the most part, that was very well put. modifying a car should always be done to the owners taste. at some point others will always talk ish. thats a natural reply and should be expected. but doing what you like is always a plus.

Re: What else to do... (secksiman19)
ur ovbiously looking to just have more fun with your car (like most of us), and IMO, the fastest way to improve your car performance wise is suspension....stiffer damper shocks, stiffer lower springs, good tires, maybe even a rear sway bar...itll make the car seem like new
if ur cars a stick, id also suggest a short throw shifter, like susp. upgrades, makes the car a new experience...
as for wheels, stay away from those thin 7 spokes 17" that every other ricey honda is.....id recomend 16"s....cheaper wheels, cheaper tires, and with a decent drop (1.5"ish), ull lose 99% percent of ur current 4x4 huge wheel gap
good luck, and just do what YOU want......

Re: What else to do... (fw190bvi)
Thanks for the help, everybody.
I like these wheels:
I know I'm not going to buy them from sears, but thats the type I'm looking for.
As for lowering, what all do I need to buy? (i've heard springs, shocks, camber (?) bar, etc) I just want to know EVERYTHING i need to make it work, and lower the car about 1.5-2.0 inches.
Thanks again!
