Default Visual recommendations

I have a 2001 accord LX coupe not real sure
Of what the paint color name is but I have the paint code
NH623M. I just wanted to know what could I do to it
Just to make it look nicer on the street
I already have blacked out taillights, changed my Honda emblems
(the red ones front and back) painted my calipers (red) 6K HIDs is there any thing else I can add or is that just about it
I'm working on getting some rims next also. Thanks

charcoal or black rims with limo tint and eyebrows for the headlights gives it a whole nother look. I have a coupe same body just black in color. Your ride looks clean.

I say lower it, get some nice wheels with a clean offset, if it was me I would loose the rear tint on the lights, get it back to oem, maybe put some darker front lights on, not the eyebrow things - throw that exhaust at a slight angle that car would be clean

yea im working on lowering the car now just gotta get a chance to do it. and with the headlights would the all clear ones be better cause. i was thinking to get the headlights with the black housing. and i also working on removing the tint so i can get them redone
not really sure what percentage to get though.

Take your valve cover off. Sand the letters. Obtain paint stripper, remove the overspray from your engine, overspray looks super ghetto. Get some headers. Free up some power, and gets rid of the fugly stock manifold.

car looks clean. to reiterate what some people already said, get rid of the over spray on the engine, go low, maybe some oem foggies?, new grille?, go low, some black housing headlights (depos or oems don't go with ebay "projectors") and well, go low.
