I spend too much time on my car... I need people interactions. I spent all morning working on my car and would have spent all night if my friends didn't drag my ass over to play cards.

I don't think 94 Accord EX's came stock with Silverstars, clear corners, Mugen lip (still gotta install it... sitting in the garage), Greddy Evo Exhaust (still gotta install... in the garage), aluminum pedals, Alpine head unit, Sony amp/speaker set w/ Boston acoustics sub (again gotta install... in the garage). I still need to buy a new intake but I am weary because of the idle issues on my bro's 93 LX. Just because I don't jump on the bandwagon and boast about my mods doesn't mean I don't have any. I have higher priorities like actually getting a decent education, getting my car fully serviced, paying off my loans, etc. Besides its not even been a year.

Also function over form... why spend 3000 on mods that will get trashed by the roads here. Of course since I intend to actually not live by paycheck to paycheck I am using that wonderful concept called common sense.

The garage I speak of is 3 hrs ~ 200 miles away. So its kinda difficult putting the stuff on. Plus its been balzy cold here... that thing called winter we guys actually get it. Those things are getting on my car when I go home next month.

Yes those little things count, but I'd also not want to make my car overtly stand out and become a theif's dream.
