A nice look? But your thread title is tuning.

Are you looking for tips on exterior modifications or engine tuning?

Basic engine tuning/bolt-on modifications include; cold air or short ram intake, header and aftermarket/upgraded exhaust.

Basic exterior mods are; one piece headlights or black housed headlights, front & rear spoilers, rims & tires, suspention modifications (lower the ride height of the car) & brake and wheel hub modifications. You can go from a wheel with a 4 lug, hub over rotor setup. To a 5 lug, rotor over hub.

If the regular CD5 site was up I think there was a DIY forum with a few mods that you can do for relatively cheap.

I'm sure some more members will chime in and give you some more ideas.

Welcome aboard

If you could post up a pic of your car we could probably give you some better ideas for exterior mods.

Ok, the very first thing you need to do is remove your wheels, pack them up in boxes and ship them to me J/K

Honestly though, do what you feel comfortable doing. it's your ride.

What I (and I am sure a lot of others) do is browse the web and magazines to get inspiration. Like something someone did? try to do it and add your own little twist on it.

For example. someone in here put VTEC on their 3rd break light. I liked the idea but I put ACCORD on mine.

^he's right do your own thing i try to be different in everything i like to be a leader lol but honestly for your car i would look in2 suspension 1st; it changes the appearance quickly & those tail lights you have now i like them but then again its your car not mines lol what ever you decide to do keep us updated.

[GhostAccord]

Suspension - lower it a bit and tint the windows. That will make a world of difference in the stance & look of your car.

x2 on the tail lights, I would keep the ones you have now. But like the above have said, Do what you want, I am merely giving you my suggestions.

Thanks guys
and yeah btw those are my stock wheels and i have never seen those before to buy that car.

I think the first thing i will do is buy JDM headlight.

and btw is there a way to fit a cone filter without the need to buy another pipe to fit it. Because i think the stock pipe is too small.

[GhostAccord]

I have seen people ghetto a cone filter onto the end of the stock rubber intake, so there is a way. Unfortunately I don't know how they stuck it on there. Sorry! I wouldn't figure that you would see much of a gain by sticking a cone filter on the stock pleated intake tube though. The $20 CAI kits (aluminum tubes) that are being sold on ebay are good. However I would suggest buying a good quality dry filter and replace the crap filter that comes with them. (K&N maybe)

I recommend getting a new intake the stock intake "pipe" is not smooth on the inside. An aftermarket intake is smooth inside allowing air to flow better.

Okay thanks for the answers guys
