2000 Accord Modified (Pics & Questions)
Personally, I don't like the wing on the back. I suggest that you take it off and replace it with the more tasteful factory wing. As for the gas. I agree with everyone else, always put premium gas in a turbo/supercharged car. also, cops dont need to have a "reason" to pull you over. They can pull you over for nothing and say that they saw something or other stuff along these lines. trust me they have done it to me and my car is completely stock. Anyways, good luck with the car. if you paint it I suggest black or deep blue.

Just my two cents. I actually like the color inside and out. I would lose the "wing" though. You just got the car. So just drive it and enjoy it while gradually learning about it.

Oh. A few more tips.
Don't fucking look at the gas prices, put 91+ in that sucker UNTIL you take the turbo off. After that run 87. You only save like $2-3 if you use 87. That's like $20 a month. Do you want your car to run or do you want to go get some drinks? Make a choice.
Did that car come from California originally? If not, then the new owner swapped in a different engine. That is a California ONLY 148hp (versus 150hp) ULEV engine.
The wing has got to go. I'm serious. Get someone to paint match an OEM spoiler and call it a day.

im not a big fan of the front bumper, or the color, the wing i actually dont mind that much. ive never been a fan of the OEM wing, especially on a car with a body kit. for that car i'd just go wingless with a CF trunk. like one guy pointed out, the wing is pretty much useless and extra weight unless you're gonna use the thing for road racing or something. i see you're gonna repaint, you should black out the headlights, tint the tails, keep the cf hood, go with a cf trunk, have the wheels powdercoated gunmetal or black w/polished lip, redo that ungodly interior...that would be tight. good luck with the ride
CG5 I dont plan on using this car for racing period, just driving from point A to point B.
The interior was very expensively done.. I don't even know where I could get that reproduced for the colors to match the exterior; if so what seat color / what insert color?
