Default so... heres what ive been up to

i doubt anyone here really remembers me, i was hanging around her back when i first registered asking some questions about what to do and not to do. anyways, ive learned much and done wuite a few things to my car in the time ive been gone. i manly hang around tuner-junction.com and v6performance.net, so some of you may know me from there. well, heres my car, a 2002 silver accord ex with an auto transmission. obviously, the auto tranny is a set back but its the only 6th gen accord i could find at the time and there werent any with 5spds. im doing a swap this summer and ive already found a transmission, just gotta get it shipped and locate the other parts. anyway, heres my mod list and a whole bunch of photos from the latest additions to the car. bare in mind, the 18th of april is the 1 year anniversary of my purchase, so ive only been working on a students budget for a year enjoy, and feel free to post any questions.


back when i bought the car



yea, that oem look has got to go...


first mod: stereo





second mod: CAI



third mod: exhaust





third mod: painted upper grill







fourth mod: blackhoused OEM headlights



fifth mod: interior touchup!







sixth mod: TYC headlights





seventh mod: wheels! (got them in a trade for stock wheels and were originally gold)











eight mod: suspension





ninth mod: more interior stuff!






and the final results:


















so the final mod list is:

sound system
aem cold air intake
megan racing cat-back
tokiko hp shocks
maxspeed springs (swapping for skunk2's)
ADR battle Exe wheels (custom painted by me )
TYC projector headlights
custom painted front upper grill
custom painted interior trim
custom blue guage and button LED's (in the process)



so... what do you guys think? ive got a 5spd swap on the way, some new springs and a mugen lip and ill soon start buying turbo parts in preperation for a turbo build in the summer.

looks good. keep up the good work. i would have probably kept the blk housing oem headlights, but the TYC set doesnt look bad at all. i guess they both look good.
