New here
So I'm 17 and this is my 2000 Honda Accord Coupe with the 3.0 VTEC V6.
She has 73,000 miles, and she also has gray leather interior, a sunroof, and climate control.

Well what I really want to do is lower it a LITTLE, then put maybe 18 inch rims, something a little like this http://app.infopia.com/Shop/Control/...d/0/rid/126824
BUT I really want the stock spoiler that came for this car, it makes it look completely different! The problem is, is that I just can't find one.
Then perhaps intake, and exhaust (nothing like a fart can or anything of the sort) and perhaps either a turbo or supercharger. I'm not trying to get a ton of horsepower because I'm not trying to buy a new transmission lol.

No problem, I have 01 4-door, as far as the wheels go, 16s and 17s are the ideal balance between "show and go", 18s would be pretty much for show only and because of the decreased tire sidewall you would feel a lot more of the bumps in the road. I'm glad you know about the transmission, that shows that you have done some homework.
there's a year specific site for our cars that I am also part of:

My friends were telling me I should put 20"s on it and I was like um.....prolly not!
So you are saying that perhaps 17"s would be my best bet?
I'm in the process of joining that website right now, do you have the same SN there?

I have 17s on mine and it looks pretty good, still needs a drop but I'll get around to it eventually.......when my wallet gets full again. I have a different name on that site, it's fat4draccord. here's the link to the thread on my car so you can make judgment on the 17s:

Those are pretty nice, BUT I think I may go for 18"s the do appear a bit small, but I'm sure they will look better when you drop her.

ok, those rims you picked out looked pretty good, do what you want, either way it should look good.

Welcome to SHO. Yeah, I agree about the 18's. They'd probably look the best. As far as the spoiler goes, you should try the classifieds here. If you don't find it, you could start a new thread explaining what you what to buy, and other members will tell you if they have one they are willing to sell. Also, you can try ebay, but you will probably have better luck here.
BTW...Nice car, and good decision on getting the V6 w/ VTEC...and thanks for spelling it right. We've had too many idiots spelling it VTECH  . I guess they've been buying a lot of phones recently. lol.

Thanks for the suggestions, I will be getting a job soon, so I would hate to ask for one and not have the cash for it.
Thanks for the comments on the car! Yeah, I usually like to research my stuff before I make comments about it!
