I was just given a 1999 Accord lx 4 cylinder sedan it has 115,000 miles on it. I would love to keep this car and make it show car material. What should i do to extend the life of the car as much as possible. All maintenence is up to date as far as i know.

RE: what should i do
damn sucka! GIVEN??!?!
hells yeah, make that bad boy shine!
chrome out the engine bay man... do it!
Here's pretty much the order I'd do it in.. but this is just me
[ul][*]paintjob[*]cat-back (SP2 or Evo if avail)[*]lenses (halos i think would look cooler)[*]interior lights[*]cf hood (if avail)[*]cf trunk (if avail)[*]cf gas cap cover[*]side mirrors, with blinkers?[*]tint[*]tint line on windshield[*]shocks[*]springs[*]rotors[*]calipers (painted?)[*]rims[*]low profile tires[/ul]estimated cost: [sm=proof.gif] i'd have to guess around 3k? dunno bout the carbon fiber parts, never looked at those.
also, to bling the engine bay, i have no idea what that takes...
can you post us some pics so we know what we have to work with as well? (body damage, rust, etc)..

RE: what should i do
IMO F$*# the visual show car,
make that baby a performace show car.
All show and no go makes malspear a dull boy...
and rice-y.
put some forged rods + pistons in, along with a MT swap, wait an oil change or two for the forged stuff to get broken in... then install a nice turbo and crank the boost!
estimated cost: bout 3 grand.
Est. hp, a LOT!

RE: what should i do
yeah i was going to suggest going with a performance ride, but didn't know what to tell him 
plus, i figured it was his goal to show off the car in the end for fun? dunno, to each his own.
