Default What to do?

Hey guys, im hopefully getting a 94-97 acoord soon. Im kinda hoping for a sleeper, but i want it to look good.

What do you guys suggest as colors/bodykit or no? I see a lot of accords with bodykits but not anything insane like the GanGstaZ y0 but something that looks good. Not sure if I really want a bodykit or not, what do you guys suggest?

Also since i want the sleeper look, i dont know what rims to get? Keep the stock ones? Buy others, or buy different Honda rims? Another thing, should i get it shaved? or no?

Hope you guys can help, thanks.

I like the stock Honda look. Maybe paint the lower body trim, lower it some..it'll look pretty good. I prefer the darker colors myself. Don't get a body kit...waste of money IMO. I also like the stock wheels, at least the 94-95 EX ones.

Yeah, the 96-97 EX rims look like wheel covers. Honda dropped the ball on this one especially considering the 94-95 EX rims are really nice.

My setup is more of a sleeper setup minus any true engine work. A sleeper is usually a stock looking car that wakes people up by blowing their doors off
Paint the black trim (I plan on doing this soon), lower about 1.5", upgrades brakes/suspension, keep OEM EX rims but upgrades tires, don't rice the exhaust, upgrades your light bulbs but not the light units.

Thanks, and when you say lightbulbs, do you mean inside the car? Or headlights/tail? Also,do you think you could send me a site or something that has the kind of bulbs you would suggest or are talking about?

Another thing, shaved or unshaved?

About color, i was thinking black im not sure though, nothing that stands out too much. What do you guys think?

Black is a good color. Just make sure if you get a dark colored car the paint is in good condition. Not faded or anything like that. Otherwise people will think it's gray or some other absurd color like that. Happened with my old civic.

I've got a '94 EX and it's green, though many people think it's black and one guy even said it was gray. The paint is perfect...that annoys me to no end .

No problem. Oh btw, when he was talking about lights he meant headlights, turn signal bulbs, etc...
