Default Planning Stages - 98 Accord

I just got the accord and I love it already. Im starting to plan everything out so I just wanted opinions. Right the now the car runs well so im gonna put off performance mods and concentrate on cosmetic stuff. The car is hard black and came stock with leather interior and spoiler. Power everything and a cd player that currently wont play cds (spits them all out, cdr and store bought alike). Mind you, im not attempting to go ***** out at this point, so things like stereo and amp, dont tell me to go alpine or rockford lol. I know this. Im trying to hit like middle upper. Heres what I have so far

Exterior:

Body Kit:
Kaminari Body Kit. I didnt want the ricer drift look, and i thought this kit was a perfect middle ground between that custom look and stock.

Wheels:
Konig Unknown 18x8 black/chrome
On a 350z (pic): http://www.1stoprimshop.com/images/g...san_350z_1.jpg
Wheel Only: http://www.konigwheels.com/images/373_b.jpg

Headlights:
Halo/Projectors. Black backed.

Taillights:
Couldn't really find much but these are ok.

Tint:
20% all the way around

Chassis Lighting:
In addition to the normal 4 sided led kit, I have a plan that I was gonna use for my Z. Im going to make a vinyl stencil that will cause the 4x24" LEDs to project the Honda logo onto the ground. We tested it out on the Z and it looked sick as hell. The Z was a lot easier to pull off than the honda logo will be =\. As far as color, im going to get a set that rotates something like 11milllion colors. If I could rig it right it would be wayyyy sick!


Interior

Seats:
Leave em stock! The leather is still perfect and I enjoy the power seat.

Gauges:

Gauge Bezel:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CARBO...QQcmdZViewItem

Other:
- Custom dash mat
- Chrome kit for consoles and inlays



Lighting:
4" red LEDs under front seats. Maybe over the kick panels too.Wired to both come on when doors are open or when flipping a switch (which will control all accent lighting).

Stereo:

Head:
Multi-Format DVD/Media player with indash screen. Either
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...276&rd=1,1
or
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...575&rd=1,1

Subs:
2 x 12" Audiobahn subs in pan box. Driven by 2000w amp. Total output is like 1500w.

I had a set up way back when that was 2x8s (duping the role of 6x9s),2x12s and a 15". It sounds a little overkill but when you have the right crossover and eq/gate combo, the subsonic fading is rediculous. You get the punch from the 8s, the sound from the 12s and the added body of the 15. I might build that rig again... dunno. In the meanwhile, I'll keep the stock cabin speaker setup until i either cant handle it anymore or come across a great deal on some alpines or RFs.


As far as performance stuff goes. I'll probably just do the normal basics.Cold air and Catback exhausts. My suspension is fine, especially with that body kit. I'd like to have a little bit of clearance. Front-Upper, Rear Upper and lower roll stabs.

Through all my connections and price shopping, I should be able to do all of this for under $4k


Any suggestions, warnings or Kudos?

lol. I dont think it'll be that bad. There not that many lights at all, and i think i'll do a good job doing it flashy but subtle at the same time.

Nothing wrong with that. Raves are great.... lots of intoxicated touchy feely women!
