I'll tell you what. You need to constantly keep performance in mind when adding to the looks, otherwise you will lose respect in the tuner world.Go ahead and buy rims, but be very careful. Anything over 17" starts to add too much unsprung weight and your car will ride terrible, not to mention the front end geometry will be thrown off if the wheel offset is not right. The stock rims on that car have a +55 offset and most aftermarket rims that fit your car will have a max +45 offset. The appropriate sizes vary if you lower the car of course.As you can see, it is much more complicated than throwing RIMS on your ride. I do reccomend coilovers, but then make sure you properly adjust the camber with the spacers.Stay away from Altezza taillights, wings, and other bullshit because they are severely frowned upon and it shows that you are just some punk ass kid. A wing on a front wheel drive car makes no sense, and altezzas make it look cheap. Be classy, and keep the car clean. Hope this helps.

A good washing and detailing should be all you need. Why paint the lilly?

Dont put Altezzas on your accord, unless you're a ricer. If you really want to keep your car for a while, give it some ...fresh painta lip kitdepending on where you live get either some coilovers or springs.Along with those springs get some performance shocks/struts, if not you're stock ones will blow out. Also a camber kit.New rimsYou could smoke out your taillights and have them look better than altezzas.Go for the JDM look, which is pretty popular right now. Clean and simple. If not you can always get a bodykit and a huge riced out wing, and neons all around if that's more of your type of thing.EDIT: I agree with not having a wing on a FWD car, but they do add some much needed weight to the rear wheels of the car. Corrados had a height adjustable spoiler and it was a FWD car. Just dont rice out you're ride. Alot of people wouldnt want to buy a riced out car if you were to sell it.
