Default Suggestions for my new AcCoRD

Hey yO. I just got a new honda accord. **** is tiZz1T3 y0! 2002 Ex v6 4 door black sedan(200hp). So Im gonna get the windows tinted. You think the projector head lights will look nice? I dont wanna change the tail lights. I saw the clear tailights on that car, looks nasty. If you guys have suggestion for the exterior, hollar back.
Thanks

factory underbody kit. no projectors but go for the euro headlights with no orange in them... just my opinion though. you gotta lower it too. that should be first priority.

ohh yeah and get a triple deck, quad adjustable, aluminum wing... hehe

Headers are not worth the $1000 for this car. $1000 for 8whp is not good.

Congrats on the purchase, i think you'll find the accord to be good at moving butts around, but aside from that, IMHO any high FI preformance modifications would not be such a good idea. Reason for me saying this is because the automatic tranny was not designed to handle much power over the 200 hp. Check on Accordv6.com and there is a member with the prototype HKS turbo charger. Even with a Level 10 tranny upgrade kit, which runs in the neighboorhood of 2-3K, there is still trouble with tranny failure. Prob. first thing i would do is call your local honda dealer and see if installing a tranny cooler will void the warrenty, and if they would be able to install it in order not to void the warrenty. Labor should be around 30-60 plus 40-90 for the tranny cooler. Also, i would save money in having the oem tires replaced. The Michelien MXV4 Envergy Savers are terrible, within driving on those tires for 12K miles, anything over a granny turn will cause the tires to squeal like a pig, plus shitty grip in the snow.

But then again, just relaying personal experience and these would have been the first things i would have done back in the days if i would have known.

What in the blue hell is an "AcCoRD" and what in tarnations is "tiZz1T3 y0"?

Once I can get a hold of a Cap'n Crunch Secret "I wear the waist of my pants hanging around my knees" Decoder Ring, I will try to decipher the message and give you some sort of legible reply.

Umm, it makes about 15hp and 18lb/ft torque.

V6..Auto......

HMMMMMMMM

If i were in your positon, I would do the basics intake/Header/Exhaust/ and then do a 75 Shot for the track.

If you got the money, the comptech SC is nice too.

As far as the exterior goes, I would keep it very simple,clean and Low profile. NO stickers and No wings. I do like the Greedy Evo Duals they got for the V6 Meybe some Racing Hart c2 or C5. If you can afford them Volk Racing wheels would really make your Accord stand out. 17s or mybe even 18s (Te37s or Se37) . Dont forget your suspesion. Some ST sway bars and a nice set of coilover(koni+GroundControls)

Its hard to make a heavy auto a fast car but it does not hurt to impove the handling, looks and acceleration for street duty. I would make it your Luxury Performance Street Ride. Mybe you can get a beater civic for the track.

Laterz

Is that how much they're are charging for the PTS rebuild kit for 2001+?
because for kits up to 2000 its only a little more than $300.
or are talking about they're complete tranny's?
