1) Don't get altezzas
2) Post pics of you and your car in the picture thread so we can give you more suggestions, or try the appearance forum.

I HAVE A 99 ACCORD COUPE AND SO FAR I'VE INSTALLED 18" WHEELS, CARBON TAILLIGHTS-LOOKS GOOD WITH THE DARK GREEN, BLACK HOUSING HEADLAMPS, REVERSE INDIGLO GAUGES, FACTORY MUD FLAPS, A BRA FOR THE WINTER, REPLACED THE GRILLE INSERT, TINTED WINDOWS. NOT A WHOLE LOT FOR PERFORMANCE UPGRADES AVAILABLE, HOWEVER I'VE ALSO INSTALLED DC HEADERS, HI FLO CAT, FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, AEM V2 COLD AIR. ALL THIS HAS TAKEN 2 YEARS AND I'M ONLY JUST STARTED.

all you need is an agressive drop and a cold air intake. alloy wheels are always good if the car didnt already come stock with them. also, remove the pinstripe if that applies to you, then you will be riding clean...just my opinion. yea, pics would be nice or at least a brief description, such as trim level (ex, lx, V6, etc), color, and if it is a coupe or sedan.

If you can afford 19's I say you get em. If not get some 18's and do a mild drop, between 1.5 - 2 inches.

What type of money do you want to put into it, and what do you consider to be "good looking" (on a car)?

Do you like lights on the underbody, wheels, tint, custom painted flames on the side?

Personally, I wouldn't spend much on making it look better, spend the money on internal things, like shocks, muffler, new sounds system, etc. And new tires, if you are still riding on the stock MXV4 Plus'. Also, unless you know the person who you bought it from, spend a little money to get all of the maintenance redone / caught up, you really can't assume that the last person did everything they were supposed to.

If your stock hubcaps (the plastic things) are scuffed up or dirty from brake dust, you can buy new ones for ~ $17 each. This is a cheap way to improve the car's looks.
