Would love some opinions on new mods for my car.

[RabarRVA]

I have been browsing this forum for quite a while, and I just opened an account. Would love if I could get any ideas on what Exterior / Interior Modifications would go well with what I have so Far.

So Far:

2009 i4 Accord LX-P Sedan

1. 30 % tint all around
2. Plasti- Dip Grille, Emblems, and wheels.
3. HID conversion kit
4. Smoked Tail lights

I know performance mods to my model are almost at the level of embarrassment, but I would love some feed back on somethings I could do to increase throttle response, and some sort of HP increase.

Hope to hear from some of you guys soon, I have high hopes about this forum

BTW only one pic is up to date on all mods. Just finished yesterday, will add more pics soon.

Suspension and rims.

Coilovers if you got the money. Sport springs and stock shocks if you're on a budget.

Get an intake so it can breathe better.

I was looking into coil overs, but I don't think it would look good on stock rims.

I'm def going with Tekeda Sri. This week probably. I've been researching about the dual exhaust set up from magnaflow, but I want to keep a somewhat non rice sound coming from my car. So maybe.. Full exhaust system with headers and high flow cats sound better?

Some spacers will fix that.

Upgrade rear sway bar to 2G TSX model.

Weapon R i-Throttle Controller

for the outside i would say go for nice rims that are bigger in size because bigger ones will better fill the wheel well and then if you have the money go for springs or coilovers. for the exhaust i personally would get a full exhaust. i think it sounds better and is more worthwhile in the longrun

Problem is that is counter to what the OP wants which is: "I would love some feed back on somethings I could do to increase throttle response, and some sort of HP increase."

Forget engine mods unless you are a 5 speed manual.

Plasti-dip is played out, no offense. Drop the car on coilovers, don't waste money on spacers, and save up for better wheels.

Best advice: Don't waste money on small useless mods. Instead save up for bigger mods. If you check my build thread, that's how I was able to accumulate all my mods in a period of 5 months. I drove around on stock wheels while I was slammed on coilovers and I finally got my hands on TL-Type S wheels in almost mint condition with new tires.

Front & Rear TL or TL-S sway bars.

Thanks all for your input, I feel very welcome here lol

an alternative to the weapon-r is the sprintbooster (which is programmed for the accord versus weapon-r's universal approach). cleaner install as well without the need to plug to the obdII port.



throttle power converters will not add any hp but they will make the car seem more responsive since you are remapping the pedal. in terms of adding hp, there is not a ton that can be done on the cheap. a short ram intake (secret weapon, takeda, etc.) will give you some gains for the $150 range. not for you if you prefer a silent ride, however.

[RabarRVA]

Don't prefer a silent ride at all.. Not that I want a raspy rice sound, but something classy that sounds respectable.

here's an old video i made of my magnaflows, but you can hear the intake more than the exhaust.

true, but after hearing a secret weapon intake on an i4 i was pretty surprised how close the sound was.
