Default Noob on the loose

What up? I just picked up a 99 Accord EX Sedan and I need some basic help as to how I should hook it up. Not trying to do to much probably change head and taillights, throw on some new shoes, and get my sounds right. You guys got any good links or info. How easy or hard is it to change the headlights?

Well the 99 cord is a good choice, if you are wanting to get new shoes I would also suggest some minor suspension. Not only will it make the ride more enjoyable but make it look better too. H-T is a one stop shop, there is everything from audio forum to accords to appearance and cosmetic. Welcome aboard. As far as the headlights go what kind or are you wanting to just change the color of the bulb? Check out the accord pic page might spark some ideas for ya .

Well, if you're on a budget, pick up some Neuspeed Sport springs, and Tokico Blues. That setup would be perfect for daily driving.

GBC has the springs for $129 plus $20 shipping.

You can find the shocks on eBay for just over $200.

Just great.

Point another Honda owner in the wrong direction.

Stay away from ClubSi at all costs.

Well if you are looking for those nifty projectors you could go to good old

http://www.ebaymotors.com

or you could just bite the bullet and put hid's in your stock housings? What style are you looking for? You have a few options with your ride.

I've been thinking about the projectors, seen some on Ebay. What are hid's? I haven't really been able to look as much as I would like to yet.

ebay projectors will give you looks, but less lighting...
if i were u save a lil extra and get a hid kit... you wont regret it!!...
and 99 taillights look good already imo...

wheels you have tons of options depends on your liking...
but like he said up top, a set of springs will make it look right after you get the wheels...
