Default Need mod suggestions

My girl wants to get me something for my car for christmas, but I dont know what to ask for. Right now my only idea is blackhousing headlights. Please post some suggestions around $100 or so, otherwise Id have her get me a friggin turbo.

there are some pretty nice looking black headlights on ebay, reflector ones are about $100 shipped, but if you're getting a HID system in the future, it's better if you get a projector headlights so you won't blind the up coming traffic.

Yep, red/clear tails you don't already have them. Lose the pink/orange/gray.

I have a coupe, so there totally red stock, and I think any aftermarket ones suck. As it is now the rear end kind of reminds me of an NSX. Any more ideas?

for $100 i say, not blackhousing, u can do that yourself, so REALLY STUPID if you get that, and yes, i did notice u have a coupe, didnt kno why every1 said taillights haha, unless they meant altezzas, which is BLAAAAAH. i had them, but thats right when they came out and not every1 had them, regardless gross. i say, list your mods, so i can decide. but cying u dont have much i assume, $100 id say get a new HU or speaker upgrades, maybe a used CAI on ebay, like AEM or Injen. if you look around the forums, people sell stuff that are in great shape used or new, and they are worth well over $100-200 and they sell for less then $100 shipped. like pulleys, acura TL-S steering wheel(grreat mod for under $100, or MDX steering wheel or CL-S, has to be the Type S, not the CL or TL, cuz its perforated leather, so much nicer), TL-S sway bars, aftermarket springs, aftermarket shocks, exhausts, headers, anything that can start u off, but list some of your mods, and we can tell u a better answer. ANY AFTERMARKET HEADLIGHT IS DUMB to buy. PERIOD. TYCs looks good, but they are not that good quality in my opinion, comin from som1 with OEM hid retrofits, with blackhousing in OEM headlights with custom angel eyes on a 6th gen coupe like you, save your $100 toward better quality, dont buy stupid stuff like blue wedge or corner or headlight bulbs, damn, i wasted so much $$ in my rice days.

I got thrown off...sorry...lol. Definetly leave the coupe tails stock.

The problem is you can't really get a whole lot of nice things for 1 bill lol. Like RVK mentioned, TL/CL-S steering wheel ($50-70 new on ebay) but you already have an OEM Accord leather one...so it's not quite the jump up from my plastic LX one I had.

TL/CL-S rear sway, and upper front strut bar are bargains and are functional.

And if you do black housing headlights, yes...DIY. OEM quality retained, and it's cheap.
