Default 1996 Accord LX

I'm kinda new to the wholecar modifications process and all but am looking to get better at it in the future. A couple months agoI bought a 1996 accord lx with 150,000 miles on it after I turned sixteen. Its exterior is in really good condition besides the normal wear and tear that comes with an older car. Recently I purchased an air intake, clear corners and front bumper lights, new TYC red tail lights and infinity kappa 6x9s in the back and kappa 6.1 perfects for the mid range in the front. I am having trouble however with deciding what would be the smartest investments for future mods for my car. ANy ideas and suggestionswould beappreciated.And I will eventually get around to posting some pics.

Sweet! I have the same car, cept a year newer. And welcome to HAF by the way! Check out my photo album and leave comments if you want and maybe it'll give you some ideas as to what you would like to do.
What are you looking for, power, looks, sleeper, ricey? It also depends on your budget. I am curious to see your tail lights! If they are the jaguar ones those are really nice! In fact, I just modified my Altezza lights in the 'Appearance' section.

Glad to have you!

please do tell me how you make the lights brighter...im curious to know. I'm looking for a good combination of power and looks without the riceyness of alot of other obnoxious imports. ALso, i work at a grocery market called publix for those of you that don't live in the south and quite honestly don't make alot of money so i sort of havwe a limited budget.

Hey whats up..i thought of it one day..and you dont have to spend alot of money at alll...in are cars the regular bulb is a 9006bulb..if you notice that there is a black tip on the bulb..if you go bye the high beam or what bulb you like alot make sure it is 9005bulb the high beam and put it in your regular driving lights..you will see the differences between them cause one has a black tip..when you put the highbeam light in your drive lights you will see at night that it much much brighter..but when you get them you will have to motifiy the plug part were the wire goin, but it super easy when you get the kind you want let me know and ill tell you what to do with it..
