Default I'm new to this thing..give me some advice, thank!

Hey, I'm Joy..

I've had a gold Accord LX (4dr) for about 3 years and I've been thinking about changing the look for a long time. I'm pretty you can say "dumb" in this area..so I thought the best thing to do was to come here ask all u experts

What do you recommend?

Do you think modifying a gold car such as mine will look messed up since it's gold? (A lot of people I ask think so)

Are there any pics you guys can provide a link to that have done this?

Thanks...thanks for being patient with this newbie.

What year is the car?
I hope you're not in to huge wings and racing stripes and stickers and clear taillights?

A subtle way to start is lower the car (shorter suspension springs make the car sit lower and look more aggressive - handles better too) with a nice set of wheels.

I drive a 95.

Oh no, I'm not into that (clear lights and all) I've seen a couple of people do that with a gold honda accord, even a camry. But thanks for the advice. That's what I want something subtle, not too dramatic, but does change the overall look of the car.

i agree w/ 4doorh22 just get some nice wheels and lower it a lil, that will definately chage the way the car looks. in fact i think it will probably make more of a diff than getting a body kit or something. imho clean and simple is the best way!
