um.....what do YOU want to do....?

you cant just say "what else should i do?"....

you should convert to RWD and put in an LS1. you should turn it into a hoverdraft, you should try to blow it up using paint chips and sparklers...see how ridiculous that question is?
You've got to figure out why your modding your car, what your future plans are with the car, and what are your realisitic goals....then you can go out and reaseach and look for specific help

car looks good though

If you want the cord to be daily driven nicely get a nice brake kit, upgrade suspension sways/struts, if you want a facelift then go for a lip kit, different headlights, CF hood or tint?? If you're looking towards the performance side then start saving up..

I can't really tell if it's a 4 banger or 6.. but it looks good nonetheless as of now

all depends on how you want to spend your dollar(s).. I personally think any performance part is well worth dollars, sure show mods are nice to look at but engine mods js make me smile every time I turn the key..

Get some shocks for some handling....Tokico Blues are nice.....uh, I would agree with what o2 accord says though......I love it when I get behind the wheel and handle up some chumps....LOL All makes it worthwhile.

Here's what I've got and i'm happy:

Intake
Exhaust
Acura TL type S rear Sway conversion (easy as ****)
powdercoated valve cover
strut bar

Installing soon:
Tokico Illumina's
H&R's

Interesting suggestions for you:

TL mirror swap (tinted blue, heated, power, turn down when in reverse)
coupe fender/bumper/hood swap
H22 swap/turbo (if it's a 4cyl)
If it's an auto- swap or level 10 trans upgrade.
if it's a v6, thus auto- level 10 trans upgrade+ supercharger.

I think im goin for the daily driver with the face lift and stuff. I got lights now so I think im just keepin stocks then just gona do the DIY headlights where you spraypaint the housing black or whatever it is. Then im gona geta lip kit, get the car all touched up since I graduate in a week or so, then hopefully trhe spood brake kit, their application of brakes looks great on accords, and yes it's a 4cyl. I just put the stock intake back it and it sounds great, just not as much response as the AEM

Anyone know websites for the spoon brake system for a 4cyl, or any good websites for cheap exhaust and misc parts like the OEM lip kit?

Unfortunately, an OEM lip kit isn't available for the sedan. But I'd definitely go with a Wings West kit instead.

I think you're better off with brembo brakes then spoon. There aren't any spoon parts for accords.

did they use 97+ ITR Rotors and T28 caliper brackets? I've had the thought in the back of my mind for ages but just haven't felt the need to spend 1500 bucks on a brake upgrade yet.

BTW the original accord - if its 4 cylinder 5spd, boost it
4 cyl auto - 5spd swap n' boost/h22a swap
6cyl - sell it for above options.

You're looking at around $750 per caliper, so $1500 for the pair brand new.

Wow, for that price you might as well spend and extra $500 and get the Brembo GT kit with 12.9" rotors

Hella nice setup though with the GL57P's Is that your ride Crono??

Nah, that's Accord belongs to CG2.

Back on topic now. Definitely look into the Wings West kit, and think about clearing out your headlights.

No I dont but I've got the sway bar on my car right now and it's bigger than stock and does improve handling, theres some info online for the swap, and i'm searching for some TL mirrors to do the conversion and show everyone it can be done
