I want to keep the VIP look on my car i dont want to overdo it any make it look all riced out. Should i get the car tinted and have HID's Installed first or any other upgrade you guys would suggest? Some modded accord picss would be helpful! thanks ! :biggrin:

Haha, i'm sorry to inform you, but nothing about the Accord says VIP. Maybe a VIP in an impoverished African nation, but not in the US.

^ there is VIP style :dunno: ...... and a lot of people in other countries (Japan, china, australia, thailand) make their accord look that way.

OP i'd recommend getting your tints done first. then work your way up

Okay it was just an example i never said my car is VIP its just the little accents that make it look good. And go make these comments on some other peoples threads not on mine.

My first was tints, then HIDs, then OEM fogs, alarm, suspension, intake, exhaust...... with other minor mods in the way.

oh and DEBADGE.

EDIT: dont do 10,000k HIDs. too blue. i have 8000k and i think it's perfect if you want some blue.

In this order: Debadge, tint, hids, drop, wheels, audio, then maybe window visors+roof spoiler, and after that do performance ex: exhaust, intake.

I always say performance before visuals, but I guess that doesn't apply if you're going VIP.

Between tint and HIDs, I'd say tints. For almost the same money, tints change the appearance so much more than HIDs.

Yeah i agree what should my first performance upgrade be? Im a really concerned guy because i wouldnt want to do any upgrade that would harm the engine or anything in anyway, but i think i should get the Tint and Hid done first, any good HID you would suggest? money wise i don't really care

If you want HIDs, check the forum sponsors on the bottom of the page. Both retrosolutions and xenondepot offer quality kits.

For performance, most people start with an intake, either cold air or short ram.

If you want to make a statement do suspension first. Coilovers FTW.

Dunno...OP is in the bay area. Maybe tint doesn't need to be first. HIDs? Or maybe some killer fog lights ;)
