Default Just picked up a 2004 accord...

So about three weeks ago my MR Integra GSR was stolen and since then my dad has come to the conclusion that using my money to buy his midlife crisis car is a good idea. He's given me his high mileage 2004 Satin Silver Accord Sedan. I'd like to boost the **** out of it but it's pushing 150,000 miles (and it's an auto)and would rather just make it cosmetically sound. I haven't been able to find much for this car and was hoping HT would throw me a few ideas...

I know I want to dump it, throw some different wheels on it, tint the windows, wouldn't mind a lip, and ect...

Here's a pic for a general idea...




GIVE ME IDEAS PLEASE!

Not lookin for a race car. I've given up on the idea of it being anything but a cosmetic project.

The front bumper and hood are different, in order to provide for the Inspire's larger grille and a couple of other differences including completely different fog lights.

He's probably going to spend a lot of money doing that, even if he can find the kit in the USDM.

There is no such thing as an underbody "kit" for the G7 Facelift cars (2006-2007).

There were changes to the side panels that precludes the use of (or even the desirability of) the side kit. And the bumper underpanel kit won't work because of changes to both the front and rear bumpers.

There is a full underbody kit available for the 2004 G7 sedan, however.




(I know that is a coupe. The sedan's basically the same)

If you don't like the rear deck wing, there is a more subtle little flip wing available for the 2003-20005 sedan.

Oh. Sorry.

If somebody really does want the JDM and UK "Inspire" parts, this guy sells them: http://www.boomplustoys.net/jdm_accord.shtml

You can see from the prices why I'd be hesitant to send people in that direction. The Modulo front lip by itself is $600!!
