Most cheap appearance mods end up looking cheesy, AKA, L.E.D window squirters and misc. L.E.D's, but if you just want the car to look cleaner, detail it real nice, lots of little things can make a big difference, like clear bumper lights, clean up your black trim, paint the tailights, get rid of rust, tire shine, clean the wheels good(even if stock)

NOT "Bumber"... this goes for everyone else who writes "bumber" insted of "bumPer"...

I don't know why, but this one little word just drive me crazy :D

Oh yeah, some cheap mods:

Go to Wal-mart and get some colored plastic (I took a portfolio thing and cut it up) and tape it down inside your dome light. Then when the light comes on, cool red/blue/green/etc. light floods the car instead of yellowish. That's a nice one.

Also, take the piece of metal around the clock, and sand it for like 10 hours with a million different kinds of paper, getting finer and finer. It gets really glossy chrome looking. pretty cool.

Heres a good mod.....how about half of you REDUCE your signatures so I dont have to scroll through 15 pages of crappy mods before I see a real post!!

Yea, it makes your car faster, so do it.

Mine is actually pretty small for how many mods I have done. Is there a .5 or .75 font I could use to make it a little smaller?

i think almost all our cars will have sagging bumpers if not maintained. my orginal bumper was starting to sag, but then i got into an accident and poof... problem solved...

but now the stupid mutherf*cking shop that "fixed" it used a coupe bumper on my damn sedan so one side is fixed tight up to the headlight, while on the left side, i can fit all my fingers between the headlight and the bumper. and i forgot to mention that that idiot put a starting to rust white 86 headlight on my blue 89 accord. :mad:

Loosen the bolts then push the bumper up and tighten the bolts back again. See if that helps.

like n88accordLX-i said, cheap mods will probably look cheap. just be careful
as for a sagging bumper, it might be rust of the actual bumper itself, so take off the cover and assess the situation in there.

and Mike's89AccordLX, you don't have to list all your "mods" in your signature.
