It runs good, just that when i stop at red lights, stop signs, it stalls out. Also is there anywhere on the web that i can find a company that installs wooden dash interior on 1990 honda's?

Wheels are the first non performance thing you should get, then lower accordingly....but you'll get super bored of looks so you don't need much more than that and you'll never get bored of performance. you'll get addicted to performance

i'd start doin some wheels, suspension, then maybe like a body kit or motor swap if you need a new engine.....just whatever you do to it, do it right, dont rig it, cuz thats what makes a car look like ****, and if you have to, spend a lil more money to get better quality stuff

start in the appearance/cosmetic forum and look at pictures there...maybe even search for accord. Then you can get an idea of what you think looks good and what doesn't, do some research, and ask some questions. If you just start buying tons of stuff, you're going to end up with all these parts a few months down the road that you hate. But for now I would personally work on making your car stay running, that should be your first priority.
