Default 2003 accord coupe mods

Hey guys! I'm new to the forum thing, so help a sistah out if ya' can...

I just came home with my NEW '03 accord coupe ex-L v6 today, and I LOOOOOVE IT! I was wondering if anyone out there has heard of / seen anyone putting aftermaket mods on them yet. I would love to see some pics of coupes with wheels on them, if anyone has... I heard it even takes 20's....

Hopefully i'll have some pics soon, but for now, too busy driving it... plus, im not sure they have film that fast yet...:naughty:

I know you can get as far as mods- Ingen CAI intake, Eibach springs, and im sure u could do some custom lighting yourself. Probally any rim that has the right sizeing. So I bet your loveing that car huh? my parents got the 03' Sedan V6. I love driveing it. It hauls ass in low speeds and high rpms huh?

Well you can do a search for some of the engine modifcations...there are a couple intakes out for it.

As for the wheels...please don't go with 20's. Have some taste, please. If you want plus sized wheels, go with some nice 17" with some Potenza S-03's...of course, that's me, always having function ahead of for www.tirerack.com has a nice little section where you can see a side view of your car (in your color and everything) and see what lots of rims look like on it...check it out

There is a lowering kit already out for the car and I'm sure far more suspension mods will follow, as the car has only been out for a few months.

Glad ya like the car, they're great :thumbup:

Putting 20"s on that car will only slow it down. Go with a lightweight 17" and a nice suspension set up. A cold air intake I heard does wonders for that V6.

Remember guys, my words were that it would TAKE 20's, not that I WANTED 20's.... You boys, always jumping to conclusions!

Yes, I've heard of the eibach springs, etc. as well too. What I really wanted to do was see pics of what wheels people are going with. My boyfriend works at Butler Tire Company here in Atlanta, so I can get wheels for cheap... someone suggested 18" axis wheels to me... what do you all think?

By the way.... I ordered a HID kit last night... should come in in about a week...

GOD I lOVE this car already- and it's been less than 24 hours!!!
