Default Customizing a 2008 Honda Accord Coupe

Hi all,

New here, so bear with me.

I bought a 2008 Honda Accord Coupe last year and have loved driving it. I've been thinking of making some cosmetic modifications to it. I'm new to this, so tips would be appreciated! I have not done anything to the car yet, so it's pretty much factory.

The color is Tafetta White, and I've always liked the contrast that a fibreglass hood brings to white cars.

Not quite prepared to make an investment on rims yet (probably later on).

Any ideas or input would be appreciated!

Thanks!

don't know if you've done it yet. but, window tint is fairly in expensive. and, really makes a car look much better. it's functional as well.

Whatever you do, don't go rice. IMO, lower the car on adjustable coilovers 1.5-2.5 inches, and buy some nice BBS rims for her =] And make sure you do it at a shop, since you dont know what you're doing.

Ideas?

Keep you capital in the bank and invest that money so it works for you.

i'd go for a theme of black/white. black rims/chrome lip, your carbon fiber/blacked out roof, tinted windows. maybe extreeeeemely lightly smoke the lights, if its too smoked or dark, its too dangerous for everyone. then, lower the car, get an intake, perhaps exhaust. all of this adds up to around 5-7k, so be prepared to spend. I am with mschu, save up & get sumthin worthwhile down the road. but if this is your worthwhile, have fun & post pics.
