    $250, What would you.. ?

    what would you get for your car if it was stock and you only had $250-300?
    also, what year spoilers (other than the 86-89 accord) fit 3gs? (search is broke)

    well. i've heard prelude and older accord wings fit. and id probably get a semi-decent sound system going for that much. either that, or get an intake from a civic (cant remember what year). little help here guys.

    i take back what i said about stock.. sound system is set

    i wanna go more for appearance than performance. interior or exterior.

    iv looked for some cheap rims but cant find any, found a few decent spoilers but there like $140

    If you look around hard enough, $250 can get you some lowering springs and a rear spoiler. You can get a rear spoiler from a 4G Accord, which basically is the same thing as the 3G's (only 90-91 models). Or you can also get a 2G Integra spoiler, but it doesn't have LED.

    As far as the intake goes, it's for a 92-95 Civic.

    If it was me... I would work my ass off cleaning, sanding, and doing bodywork, and I would get a Maaco $200 job and would use the rest of the money to buy some spray bombs to do the door jambs and under hood and trunk areas. Damn, I wish I had the money, my 3g would look soo good if I did.

    snohomish, wow another guy near me. What aprts are you looking for. Ie got a bunch. With a price range like that set on looks Id say a set of JDM/ euro corners, JDM tails, or if your car is like mine and all the black trim is now silver or faded id try fixing that. It should take a few years off the look of the car.

    some stuff im thinkin about:
    spoiler
    rims (but cant really find any cheap enough..)
    the SE-i center console (it has an arm rest.. and i think it can be put in lxi?)
    reverse glow guages
    one of those silver dash things that surrounds the guages ( here )
    i cant really think of anything else.. (why im posting)

    the search is broke still, otherwise i wouldnt ask, what do these jdm/euro tails and corners look like? and how much are they?

    I'd find a cheap set of wheels. Wheels do everything for a car.

    Yep, they are 99 bucks for the dash kits. Someone should buy one so we can see if they are worth the money.

    im thinkin bout a dash kit + reverse indiglo lights + the backing around the speedometer n stuff + a shifter matching the dash trim

    problem is, my interior is the burgandy-redish-brownish which looks like an old people car and nothing matches it... so im stuck.

    No that's defintetly an old people color , JK. If your after appearance the things I would do first are rims, lower it, and spoiler(not a wing please).

    hmm........ i'd try to fix everything thats wrong w/ the car. make shure you have a good tune up and then fix any rust or things that may not be in the best condition. get it detailed. and then maybe a tint or an armrest like you said. you can save some money if you get the armrest at a junk yard cause they normaly go for pritty high on ebay.

    I have the maroon interior too and i was looking for a way to make it look better. I was thinking that i should paint all the major plastic parts black and leave some of the pieces in the maroon. Or should i go like all black? or all gunmetal? or black with a new maroon color? or how about maybe even white? or a white, gunmetal, black mixture? my interior already has no similarity to the outside of my car which is stock champagne so i'm not trying to color scheme it right now. might go outside if what i come up with for the interior is nice...any ideas would be nice thanks
