Default My new car! Help please!

hey all,

I purchased a 2006 honda accord LX SE in alebaster silver metallic (light silver) about 6 months ago, and I feel like it is time to start modding it, but I really need some help picking out the right components to make it the best its going to be. I want to do the following, any suggestions would be fantastic! Thanks!

1.) Chrome rims. I would like to get the biggest that can fit and would look good, I'm thinking either 19's or 20's. I plan to wrap them in nice tires.

2.) A new set of breaks. Brembo maybe?

3.) A HID conversion for the headlights. Need a lot of help here

4.) Fog lights. Again, help please

5.) An all chrome grille.

Thanks for any input!

Fogs you can get at handaaccessories.com
They even have instructions on the web, so you can probably do it yourself.

As for the rims, I would go for lighter rims rather than bling (ex.Volks). As for the brakes if this is just going to be an everyday driver, save your money. The stock setup should suit you fine.

Whatever you do please stay away from the Altezza lights in the rear.

I agree about the alteeza lights. I think they ruin a car. I have seen some very nice cars of all models only to find them ruined by alteezas. Any way thats my opinion. Lower the car some as well.

haha I would NEVER put alteeza lights on it, how tacky looking !!!!

How much is acceptable lowering for an Accord?

And Could someone please find me some pictures of the rims that they think i should get?

Thanks!

Get some 17 or 18" OEM optional Acura rims and lower it 1.5-2".
