Default Add some things to my '02 accord lx sedan

Alright guys so this is the thing. I have an '02 accord lx 4 door 4cyl. Looks just like this http://www.theautochannel.com/media/...d_lx_sedan.jpg. The car is NOT cool looking but i'm thankful for having it and it's been an amazing ride. I want to add a few things NOT for speed but for looks. My checklist is as follows: 18" rims, spoiler (small, stock), tints. I want suggestions! I'll take any suggestions as a respectable one. But please nothing for SPEED and NO huge spoilers or lowering kits. I rather ride high. Thanks guys!

IMO, stick to 17's to keep the ride nice. I don't like spoilers on sedans ..... I think the low stock one is good for the coupe. I do recommend lowering at least a little, not slammed, but you don't need 4 inches clear in the wheel wells. Eibach Pro-Kit is good and has progressive winding for comfort and performance.

Take a look at my photo gallery for more ideas.


If I were you, the first thing I-d do is get swaybars. Cheapest is the Acura TL-S bar and brackets. I had the Comptech set.

Are you thinking interior or strictly exterior add-ons?

Some cheap exterior touchups include:

Vent visors ($30)
License plate tints ($7 each)
Silverstar headlights ($40ish on ebay)

And interior:

New shift **** ($30-40 for direct screw on)
New shift boot ($20-60)
LED dome light ($6 on ebay)


These are just some cheap ideas... what's your budget?

License plate tints can get you pulled over and ticketed very quickly. All depends on where you live.

That's true... But it's one of those laws that may or may not be enforced, too. I'm pretty sure they're illegal in Maine, yet I see them all the time...

More of exterior options. I'm a PO in training and the PO's here outlaw the tinted plates. My interior is fine. I keep it in tip top shape and I'm just looking for an added excitement to the car. I read a review on the car and a consumer actually called the '02 lx sedan "as exciting as a refrigerator" and i see where he's coming from. I added a chrome exhaust tip, nothing fancy but it adds some excitement. I like the suggestions given but i'm asking for more from whoever wants to provide any.

You can go several ways with this...

I..Would get no bigger than 18",and believe it or not..but an eibach Pro-Kit will do wonders,gives you the aggressive look,but keeping a good ride..

Exterior is really your taste,and how you want your accord to stand out from the rest.and not look like a whirlpool.

How much $ are we taking about here for the Pro-Kit? How much do they cost and how much to install? Rough estimate?
