Default Buying an Accord soon...

So recently I had a wreck in my 06 Civic EX (pics provided). I hydroplaned & flipped it into a creek. Thank god I walked away practically unscratched. So now I'm looking into the Accords.. out of all them I like the 02 V6's. All my honda knowledge is pretty much limited to the 06+ Civics so I'm gonna need some help as far as modifying these Accords, can ya guys help a brotha out? thanks!

edit: I know the road doesn't look wet. It happened in the morning & by the time I quit shaking & got my mind right to start takin pics, the sun had came out & dried up most of the moisture.

That's good that you are alright. I never liked how that car looked anyway. I always thought they were ugly. Is insurance covering you completely?

Your favorite 02 V6's have horrible trannys.

I suggest you look elsewhere

Ok well thanks for clearin that up. As far as performance parts, do you have any idea which seem to work the best for the 05's? or the Accord in general?

Personally I love the 07 Accord Coupe. When Honda did a minor model change. A little bit different lines and new tail light. It had a sharper rear trunk than a smooth one. Looks sooo sweet. I know they made superchargers for the V6's if I'm not mistaken. Couple it together with a 6 speed manual. I think you got yourself a pretty sweet car.
