I thought I would be getting rid of my 99 Accord EX V6 Coupe for something much bigger in a four door variant, but due to financial strain and a pull-out of assistance from my parents to help fund a new ride, I think I may go balls-out on this car and make her a little more into a show vehicle.

She is a 99 San Marino Red coupe, loaded, with the OEM under body spoiler kit, rear wing, stainless exhaust tips, moonroof visor, foglamps, tint....I have two 15" Rockford subwoofers and an 800 watt Rockford amp in the trunk. Here is what I was thinking of doing to her:

-Dropping her and adding 18" chrome wheels and low profile tires
-Swapping the 20% "bronze"/"chocolate brown"-ish tint on there now for REALLY dark limo, all around
-Putting in HIDs or Xenon headlights AND foglamps
-Getting bright chrome tailpipe extensions for the OEM ones
-Removing all badging, or adding gold emblems all around
-Putting red neon license frames BEHIND my plates, so the neon glows from BEHIND, not AROUND
-Doing something with the taillights---blacking them out? Altezzas?

And I was also considering, if I had the cash, changing the OEM body kit and rear spoiler for something more aggressive---a higher, mid-wing spoiler and perhaps a wild Wings West body kit all around.

My questions are these, playas: Everyone says keep the OEM body kit and rear spoiler because they're already on there, and, everyone seems to think the OEM kit and wing look best on the sixth generation coupes...should I indeed keep the OEM kit and wing if I drop the car and add aftermarket bigger wheels and rubber? Will it look good?

With regard to wheels---are 18's "big enough"? I definitely want chrome, but should I go bigger than an 18? I will be driving in New York, and the potholes are EVERYWHERE and are horrendous; not to mention the snow we get. Are 18's "showy" enough, especially in chrome?

My tint---leave it at 20% (which is pretty light in the sun), or have them re-done with limo all around? I like when you can't see in the vehicle; right now, the 20%-ers are pretty light.

Thanks for any input you can provide!
