Hi y'all!! I'm brand new to the site!

So, I've had my Accent for about a month, and going from a '97 Honda Accord w/custom color and flake paint, rims, tint, replacement decals w/my name, lowered, gold accents, and more to a straight stock has been kinda sad. The problem is is that I was 16 when I got my Honda, and now that I'm 18 my dad is no longer willing to pay for my mods. Any ideas that will make this car feel like its mine while not spending a crap load of money?? I will really appreciate the help.

:grin:

:00000732: :00000732: it would be better to search into other topics for the mods you want and just like komptek said, check other people rides and pm for mods if you got see one in specific. everyone want to make different mods so you should know what mods you want to make to your car so you feel like it is yours. about the money well, there are expensive and not expensive mods

very true. Everyone is different when it comes to mods, and not everyone is going to want to do the same modification. Thats what makes the car unique because you did things different.

Hi and welcome. You can add some of those stick on "Buick" portholes to your front fenders, just peel and stick, adds 50hp and helps ventillate the engine bay.

I am totally lying, please don't do that!!! Wheels are a start to making your Accent unique. Lots of ideas here.

my last post on this thread was a joke.

BTW in the video you saw the camera makes it look darker because of the exposure it has.
