2003 Accord Euro looking pretty stock... what first? grille, kit (Mugen) or exhaust? Going to paint the wheels black in a few weeks! Let me know what you think.
Thanks in advance.

performance parts? get headers, CAI and exhaust done
than handling - cosmetics later, unless you're kind of person who would like to drive a car because of looks then do it the other way round :-)

if your afraid of being defected dont bother, but p platers are allowed as many cosmetic mods as you want, so long as they fit in with vicroads VSI08.

its performance mods that supposedly arent allowed, but i was driving around with lowered springs and a pod filter on my p's and was never hassled for it

how long have u had it for? recommend learning how to drive it firstto get the most of it.
I have a civic and a euro
i am more confident to fang my civic in all sorts of places regardless of the understeer, leaking shocks, tetris through traffic etc. etc.
Wouldnt do that to my euro just yet but im getting there. But yeah power steering hose is a first must


P.S please dont black those rims with a spray can. those are goregous oem rims dont cheap out on em!

Lol@cheap

Anyhow, cosmetic mods are blah... You'd be better off with a CT icebox, looks just like a stock intake.

would doing the CT icebox with the box alone work?

Yes but not nearly as well as having it with the velocity stack(air horn), just remove the resonater not like anyone can tell.

Oooh, do you have to paint those wheels black? IMHO that style wheel looks best at stock height in stock colour, they don't look good in black at all. If you want to lower it eg on coilovers then you'll need bigger wheels for it to look 'right'. Have you thought of just selling that set to fund getting some other wheels? Or keeping the original wheels so you can return to stock if needed?

Yeah wont be touching the wheels until next year so if everyone seems to love them at stock might just sell them for an aftermarket pair!

Lower it. I wouldn't change the grille I had the mugen grille but preferred the stock one.

Don't paint the wheels black. Someone else did that and it turned out not as good as you would think it would be. Go aftermarket rims instead when you are ready and sell the stock rims off as they are uncommon compared to the other stock Euro rims.
