98 Accord Upgrade help
There are pics of the 98 Accord I have now.
what I want to do is change this whole setting to a more racer look. I am aiming for an illuminate effect. Also I'm wondering if I can take out the stereo and put in a Navigation system? If not then it's cool I'll just upgrade the stereo system. The steering wheel I want to change. Also I want to change the lock into a power lock system. I hate have to do it manually. I also plan to change the seats, pedals etc.
Basically like I said on my last post is a complete make over on the inside to give it the race look or somewhere inbetween, I've never done anything like this and am looking for guidance so I won't mess anything up. So if anyone can share you knowledge and point me in the right direction on where to get certain parts and so on much appreciated.
Also, last question and sorry if this sounds pretty noobish but is there a way to make this accord drive smoother? What I mean is I want it to feel like a Subaru while driving and not feel every little bump and crack the whole ride through.

I won't get into "looks", not my thing.
Upgrading the stereo system can be done, there are all kinds of options.
Have to remember that the steering wheel has the air bag, so changing it is going to be a bit of an issue.
Adding power locks, going to get costly......there might be some aftermarket "add on" kits available but you would have to search.
For the "drive", you might want to check the suspension system, things could be worn out....struts, swaybar end links, ball joints, ect.

I'd try to find a u-pull-it junkyard for something like switching to power locks.
I personally use OEM Honda suspension parts when replacing parts on my car. My 95 OEM suspension parts lasted over 200K miles. I keep my vehicles with the OEM setup and don't ever upgrade for performance parts.
To get started, start doing some inspection of your vehicle and we can help with specific questions you have.

If you're looking for body kits or that kind of thing, look to e-bay. There's all kinds of different stuff available. I know, as I was looking for a hood for my wife's 2000 Accord, since it has a rust hole in it. Well that and some headlights. ;-)
