2001 accord coupe

[osiriskidd]

what should i do to it, i'm not going to do anything to the engine, seeing as how i don't get the title til i graduate this year.

what i was thinking was new headlights, tailights (hopefully non-altezza wannabe's) and some wheels. are there any body kits that don't make it look too ricey. it's just DD and i'd like it to look nice.

but then again, is there a few things i should do to the engine to have it run better? i do the typical pulling with my friend's cars and whatnot, but i'm not HUGE on the racing thing.

and...how much will it cost:ninja: thanks in advance for the help. i've never really thought about what i'd do to the car til just recently.

[imbosile]

auto or 5 speed?

[Cliff]

that car has the best front bumper for the accord coupes....at most i'd put the factory lip on it....and tails get the tyc elegante's and paint the trim on them....wheels just do some nice 17's if you don't plan on dropping it

[Cliff]

tyc headlights....

tyc taillights

[osiriskidd]

sounds good to me. it's auto, and it has like some scratches on the front bumper and back cuz it's my first. also, inline 4 not v6. i was thinking the same tailights, but my car's a greyish silverish colors, so i was going to get chrome head/tails. new wheels and everything should be around 5g's?

[imbosile]

That's cool, get whatever you like, but personally I don't like chrome, I would go for he blacked out look.

[osiriskidd]

but would the blacked out look right on a greyish silver car. blacked out heads and tails, would stand out too much don't you think?

[Cliff]

i am not a chrome person either....blacked out on grey is hot...my old truck was dark grey with blacked out everything

[Cliff]

but would the blacked out look right on a greyish silver car. blacked out heads and tails, would stand out too much don't you think?


i am putting you together some pictures...i will be posting it in a few minutes...it will be plenty of ideas

[imbosile]

I think it would looks good, I think chrome would look weird. I just don't like chrome unless it's on a car like a BMW, Jaguar, Merc., etc.

[osiriskidd]

hmmm...maybe. at first i did want black, but my friends didnt think i could pull it off due to the grey color of the car. however i did see a white accord with blacked out lights, but he could pull it off because of the black rims and hood.

[Cliff]

These should get you started

paint the headlights, you can do a bunch of diff things with them, i painted mine black housing then decided to yellow the insides...

[osiriskidd]

i think.. i'll go for somethign like this one then.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/operationclimax/solo_rh02.jpg

and with the tyc tailights. thanks for all the help :goodjob:

and also, what kind of things (if any) should i do to the engine. just to help it last longer and whatnot (first time car owner)

[allmotoronly]

dont waste your money on rice-tastic euro headlights or tail lights... If you are going to spend money on the car, do something that will better the car. most aftermarket headlights are not as bright and are cheaply made. aftermarket tail lights for the coupe model look stupid too... The factory tails are clean looking. Get a set of coilovers and some wheels. since it is auto, dont waste your money modding the engine, since the auto tranny is not made to handle much extra power reliably. I would say just do wheels and suspension, and maybe a OEM lip kit. I have a 2002 V6 with the OEM kit and it is really clean looking.

yea, like i said i didnt really wanna do anything to the engine cuz it's DD and im not into the whole RACING thing. iunno i guess it all depends on my money status when i decide to get the project rollin. also, how much will OEM parts cost cuz mine are pretty dinged up from previous owner. bottom of them are scraped, there's little knicks and whatnot. you can barely tell, but should i get new ones or just repaint em.

[Cliff]

i am with him ^^^^drop it on some 17's with an oem lip kit and you are set....and i wanna see this color of yours....grey silver confuses me....

[Cliff]

if it's a daily driver dont worry about it...the lip kit will cover the scrapes on the bottom so that won't matter...if you can't find a good set of oem lips cheap check out the mugen stuff

[Cliff]

mine before the insurance company bought it

the OEM kit from honda is pretty high... like anything OEM from honda. I would just get yours repainted.
.

[Cliff]

that's not his...that's one i posted...and his has no lip

[osiriskidd]

meh, i don't think i'd need a new one. the only things that are scraped are the bottom parts of lip and some in the back. aside from that there's no huge crack or anything. i could prolly get it painted. HOWEVER, i noticed 2 weeks after buying the car, that on the right side, 2 latches that hold the bumper are broken, so it extrudes a little. should i worry about it and take it to some shop to have them fix it, or do what my friend suggested, and just hotglue the latches back on and pop it in.

[Cliff]

hot glue won't hold after you hit the interstate for 5 miles....and do you have a factory lip on a 4cyl or do you mean the lip of the front bumper?

[osiriskidd]

its all stock. bahh i didnt mean to say lip. i ment on the bottom of the front and back bumpers.

[osiriskidd]

can anyone post pictures of the OEM lip kit thing.

also i did post the factory lip kit....scroll up to the pictures i posted and look close...i wrote in their this is the factory lip kit

[osiriskidd]

[Cliff]

[Nittanys1]

they r not accord rims...they are for any car that has 4-100 and 4x114 lug pattern...the accord happens to have that pattern :D

[Cliff]

man and what a coincidence.....you think this guy should get some rims for his 4x114.3 accord and you just happen to have some laying around...lol...how lucky is he!!!!!

[osiriskidd]

lucky me :goodjob:and yea they do look pretty damn nice. give me about 2-4 months to scrape that much up though.

[Nittanys1]

^who you talkin to?

[osiriskidd]

you. about teh rims in your sig. wish they were black though =[

[Nittanys1]

U can always get them powder coated or paint them yourself.

[WhiteAccord]

Heu nittany since your selling your car what car you getting now?

[Nittanys1]

[HonDai3oii]

thanks....im selling my rims & tire by the way for $750....i got lot more done to it..

[HonDai3oii]

are those konig prophets?

The one on right now is not the prophets....I had sold the 20" chrome Konig Prophets....

[osiriskidd]

750 sounds more affordable than 1200...sry nitt =P

[Nittanys1]

thats gay...its cool...those rims are not going to look as good on your car as mine would....

[osiriskidd]

honestly i like yours better. BUT 19 =P iunno we'll see when i have the cash.

[TypeRPersonality]

I've owned a 99 Accord before. Honestly, as you said, Accords are not meant for racing but rather i believe it's a good sufficient powered car for daily driving. Just make it look nice, think luxury. And the OEM lip kit doesn't exist for 01-02 models. Get HID's, some nice wheels and nice system. My brother has a real nice one that many have probably seen before. Accords are nice cars, don't ruin them with useless mods that wouldn't even look nice, let Civic owners do that. :D

[osiriskidd]

hehe exactly my thoughts. after reading what everyone's written and whatnot i was thinking of just a lip kit and some wheels. i was thinkign either an HID or the ion blues.

[lxpaulxl]

i think mugen lip looks good on the accord with cl-s wheels on them. you have a i4 so your wheels are 4 lugs correct? i use to have an accord coupe, i miss it lots.

[Cliff]

yea his is the 4cyl and the 4x114.3 so the cl-s wheels are a no go for him....i say go mugen lip if the 01-02 doesn't have an oem lip...hell i think it looks clean as hell just lowered with the stock front bumper on it

[Cliff]

too bad you don't have a 4 door....i love a clean 4 door car...
