What's up guys; been a Honda fan and owner for almost 15 years and added another one to the collection. Just picked her up yesterday and thinking of some simple and clean mods to do.

Welcome to the forum. Check out some of the links in my signature below for some ideas on mods, or check out the diy section. Tons of great stuff in there.

anything specific you'd like to do?

Probably starting with basics (window tint, hardwired radar detector, maybe an aftermarket amp/sub) and go from there. Maybe CAI; I dunno.

I'm thinking of adding some red interior lights and will probably just end up doing it myself w/ flexible LED strips instead of going OEM; why the hell does Honda want $125 for 2 lights and a wire harness?? Anyway, thinking of putting a red LED in each cup holder too.

Has anyone mentioned in a thread where to find custom buttons that fit in the dead panels? I like an OEM look to any extra on/off switches that I may add. Something like this:

Why not just buy the OEM switch?

Probably will end up doing that, just wondered if anyone has run across some custom buttons that look OEM. I've seen them before for other cars; will fit OEM spot but have different types (on/off, momentary) and different icons on them. Just helps if you're going to be putting in 2-3 beside each other to help tell them apart.

A beautiful choice in color and car there RHelton10. Sounds like you modded before, cant wait to see what you do!

There is also a lot of great build threads here. Maybe start yourself and we can follow your progression as well. It would be your car's home thread pretty much.
