Hi guys,

I just got a 2006 Accord Euro [CL9] about 4 months ago and I haven't really done any modifications to it mainly because I don't know how to. I've done some research and read on the forum a little bit and I have a picture of what I want my car to do and look like. Hopefully I can get some valuable advice from all the Honda owners out there!

For my interior, I was thinking of getting a new sound system, maybe a alpine INA-W900E (lots of awesome features but cost $1999). Has anyone used it before or has a better recommendations? Getting a subwoofer is also a must have I guess if I want a good quality bass sound, but I don't know what an amplifier does, is it necessary?

For my exterior, I prefer lowering the car then getting body kits as the CL9 has a pretty awesome look as it is. My car is pearl white, and I would love to get some matte black wheels with it. Maybe 18" would do it as I read some where that getting rims that are too big will compromise the ride of the car. Is it true? Additionally, I would like to get tinted rear lights and de-badge the car entirely except for the front and rear Honda Logos. Finally, I always like the DRLs on the Audis and Mercs so I wouldn't mind getting a pair of those for my car. But I've read that DRLs have negative impacts on fuel consumption so I was wondering how true is that?

Lastly, for the engine, I have no idea what to do with it. I've read a lot about cold air intake and turbos and stuff like that but all I want is more power (I feel that the car can be sluggish off the line) and better steering at corners and maybe a symphony of engine sounds.

I'm not going to get everything done in a short period of time as money is obviously a constraint (Still only a student) but I hope I can get some advice on my ideas, and recommendations on where I can get the stuff done (I live in Melbourne) before I go through with the modifications.

All help are greatly appreciated and I thank you for your time!
