hey guys, i'm new to HAF.
i got a '99 honda accord with a little over 100,000 miles on it.
she's still running strong, but she could use a little makeover.

Welcome.

For your sake I hope its a manual transmission.

Lower it a little bit and some nice rims will really make her look good.

You should be warned the automatics in the 98-02 accords are like the rotary motors in rx7s. They like to blow at the drop of a hat, and there is nothing you can do about it.

Welcome to the HAF...
Do you have the 4cyl or the 6 cyl engine and is it a 2dr or 4dr car...
