Hey everyone, I'm going to be receiving a settlement amount from my accident last year. And I decided I want to use a good amount of it to invest in my 2002 Honda accord LX. Currently it needs some transmission repair, after that I'm looking into a full body/paint restoration. But I would like some suggestions on the following parts

- digital instrument panel
- Halo projector headlights
-wheels/tires
- Engine mods
-sound system

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

 

My first question to you would be is it a 4cyl or automatic?

Digital Instrument Panel-
I know some people have swapped S2000 clusters into 5th Gen Accords, not sure if anyone has swapped one into a 6th gen.

Halo Projector Headlights-
I wouldn't buy any of the ones you see on ebay, they are pretty poorly made and the light output is usually pretty bad. I would recommend retro fitting projectors into your stock headlights. A little more costly but looks very tasteful and offers good light output.

Wheels/tires-
These really depend on personal preference and budget. Obviously some Volk TE37s or CE28s would look nice.

Engine Mods-
Obviously there are a ton of options here. If your car is an automatic then you are already learning it isnt too strong. Maybe just an intake and exhaust to get it breathing and sounding right.

Sound System-
Not my area of expertise.

 

idk how much ur settlement money is.. but if you want to dish out money on a exhaust/intake etc... i would suggest buying some1 elses project they cant afford anymore " civic hatchs, most ppl do b16/b18 swaps with exhaust/intake done already".
imo there are so many more mods you can do to a civic that you cant do to an accord. dont fix what isnt broke otherwise that accord will show its age when you start adding performance grade parts to a eco friendly car

 

if you have a V6 accord theres not much you need to do except maybe intake and exhaust they already put out a good amount of power. I tok my car to a sound shop and had a systm put in I didn't wwant the headache of doing it my self. you can spend a good 1000 on a good system just depends on what you want you can see my mods in the garage have fun man.

 

yeah it is a 4cyl and automatic.

 

If you haven't found KHA in the audio section.....he'd be the one to ask about a sound system. Be sure to give him a budget range. He can work with that range and give you several ideas.
