Default Just bought an '02 Ex Accord Coupe... can I make it look good?

I honestly can't think of any nice looking 2002 coupe body style accords that I have seen. Anyone got any good pics or suggestions?

I just want it to look like a nice cruiser, its not for speed. I am selling my STi in order to save for a house, so I dont want to spend a ton, but I want the car to look nice and clean if I can. I think its a great car, but it lacks the look I would prefer. I would love some suggestions.

The accord is silver and I was thinking maybe some wheels, maybe some ground fx and a little drop????

Thanks in advance for any help/pics

why bother? if you are getting this car for daily then why bother spending more cash on it. you obviously need the green somewhere else, i'll say throw it at the house instead, car investment is...well, there is not car investment(unless you have a 2000gt, enzo, etc)

good point, but coming from my old car I will be saving over $550 a month + about $2k from selling the mods.

I was thinking of maybe doing a few things to this car to make it a little nicer... if possible.

This car is saving me a ton of cash, thats why I will always love hondas... I just wish i could have gotten my old prelude back

It all depends on what YOU think is stylish.

for styling cues, there's bound to be something on there that you'll like. Good luck.

I have an 02 Accord, and what i've done so far is:
18" 5Zigen FN01R-Cs
Mugen Replica Lip (like the white one with the bronze lip up above)
98-00 OEM Rear bumper conversion
98-00 OEM Ground Effects Side Skirts and Rear Lip
OEM Spoiler
Neuspeed Sport Springs
Koni Yellows (installed first thing tomorrow morning)
Blacked-out Headlights with 6000K HIDs
CD Amber Sidemarkers
The only thing I would like to have done differently is owned a V6 so I could have slapped on Acura CL-S wheels and kept it just a little cleaner. With the 6th gen accord, stay away from the full body kits (and be careful with the 98-00 and 01-02 differences).

Thanks in advance!

There is a picture thread at the top of the forum where you will find more than enough pictures of the Gen6 coupe.
