Default MODS?

Hey everyone, i have a 04 accord and wanted to get some mods, but ntohing too flashy...i was thinking of starting with some headlight housing from - http://www.mytightride.com/hoac2020prhe.html - and getting some xenon lights or hid or w/e but i hear those are illegal so sratch that....i really want the housing though....also the billet grills found on that site. i was wondering if you think theres something instead of those 2 things i shoudl get first, and if im correct in saying the xenon is illegal, even if oyu have the righgt projector, thanks!

All xenon products that are put in a car that didnt come with them stock is illegal, but if you get a good retrofit job done (there's a complete kit on HIDplanet.com that has projectors, etc) then you wont be a target by police. Most police aren't aware with the new vehicles, but they know the obvious cars that didn't come with them (civics, etc.). If it's a good clean job, you should be fine. You could do a DIY headlight, where you paint the housing black or gunmetal instead of chrome, and then retrofit the projector inside, and it would look sick

And yes, suspension is good.

Most billet grille kits are crap. They dont fit well or don't look right, and it'll be a hassle. I can't think of why an Accord would look good with one but hey, it's your $

huh? I checked it, and they cleared out my email cause I havent checked it in months.

I'd say either contact me again or just join the hidplanet.com forums, they know way more than I do. Drop in on the HID crash course thread first.
