Ideas for Mods - Need everyone to pitch in!

Any ideas on what you guys would recommend? So far this is what I've done

1) Tinted windows 5% all around, 20% windshield
2) Installed the factory OEM deck lid spoiler (took about 20 minutes
3) White LED's all over the inside, outside, license plate, reverse lights and everything, beautiful white LED's (not bluish white) lol

You already seem to know the possibilities so what do you want from us?

I think your car will look good with some new wheels and a drop, but this is just my opinion. I love the fact that you have LED lights all around. I'm planning to do that as well!
Also, if you are willing to put some money into lease, you could also get some aftermarket LED taillights and headlights. Keep us updated and good luck!

Nice! Ok I have a few ideas & some questions lol. First, this is not everybodys style but I love it, I blacked out ALL the chrome on my 8thgen sedan. Black front & back emblems, blacked window trim, & even blacked out the "H" on the steering wheel. And also look into tinting the taillights. Mine came out great left the bottom white part of the headlights clear. You should also do mugen body kit. Now my questions are, where did you order those led lights, I wanna do the same thing to mine, inside and plates

Blacking out ALL the chrome is not my cup of tea, but I think that blacking out SOME of the chrome looks nice. I just ordered some LED lights for my door courtesy light and plate lights from eBay. Since I live in Australia, I got it for $0.50 each with free delivery from Hong Kong. I think the seller I bought from also ships to US. These are what I bought. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-x-White...#ht_3127wt_810

If you have a sedan, these are the bulb sizes. (Please correct me if I am wrong. Not sure about Coupe sizes, might be the same)
License Plate light ----- 168
Door Courtesy Light ----- 194 (same size as 168, but not as bright)
Dome Light/ Map Light ----- DE3175
Glove Box Light ----- 194

Hope this helps! Good luck~

Simple, clean, tasteful mods are best.
I'd say rims, and a drop.
You already have tint and leds.
All the led headlights look cheesy.
I'd say grab some weathertech rain guards and maybe a sunroof visor too.

They are definitely attention getters. End of the day I avoided the lure of the thousand mods possible for $50 or less and stuck with the higher end stuff. Less is definitely more and fighting eBay/replica crappy quality issues is never fun.

Something much "more" may be done in the next few days

Doom, I've liked your car since the day I saw it. I dont know if its the rims or what but it is very tastefully done. OP, I'd say stick to tasteful mods if you are going to do more. One thing you might want to look at before doing anything is what you are allowed to do when it comes to the lease. I have a feeling that tinting tails like someone else posted would be a big no no with Honda.

Honda Finance does not give a damn about tinting windows but yes tails would be a problem.....just perf mods and things that would make the price at auction go down. Window tint per the state law can pass for stock at auction...
