Since my brother put a exhaust and intake on the accord I have now when he was 15, my dad was pretty pissed. but now that I have the car, my dad is pretty supportive of me doing this and wants to see the accord finished off. Since I have had it, I have bought everything for it as far as mods. My dad is cool and usually calls out rice all the time haha. But if your broke and are getting ready to move out I could see why he is pushing you not to mod your car.
