Winter Modifications
I think I started a thread like this last year. After swapping my oem wheels & blizzaks back onto my Accord it got me thinking about winter mods. I just dropped my car off yesterday for the following work:
Touch up bodywork/repaint Downforce fenders and front bumper (body shop I went to last winter did a shotty job)
Powder coat wheels & center caps satin black
High temp coat the header satin black
Paint & install oem ap2 front lip
Paint and install JDP carbon trunk lip spoiler
Should be done in a few weeks and got a good price on everything being a repeat customer and having sent business their way this summer
I'll post pictures here once I get her back.
Things on my list to purchase and install before spring:
SOS Heat exchanger
SOS Big Bore TB
Innovate MTX-L all-in-one wideband
Alloycraft Front diffuser/undertray if it finally comes out!,

Sounds like a good make over
I got stuck driving the S in yesterday's storm unfortunately. Good thing I had my snow tires on. I plan on getting a beater next week, then on the S:
Fluid changes (oil, trans, diff, brake, maybe power steering while I'm draining everything)
Full detail
Fix or replace my AP1 bumper (has a decent size hole from a tow hitch accident)
Fix my J's front end
Pick up an OEM front lip
Make a thread to trade my wheels, if that fails I'll powdercoat 'em and run them next year (Drag DR-31 17x8/9 +35/+38)
Wire remote trunk release (after installing my Bride's I can't open my glove box, and my K2 trunk doesn't have a key hole)
Get the skirts on
Mulderize the headlights
That's all I can think of for now, but I'm sure other things will arise.
How fun is winter, eh?

In the past couple weeks, I have replaced all 4 coil packs, all new plugs, cleaned throttle body and IACV, Installed K&N FIPK. 4 Wheel alignment. Patched soft top tear. 2 Rear tires, and installed leather console wrap.
I'm all set for bit, but always in the market for a BB hardtop of any style really...

Just left the body shop. They've got my wheels, header, bumper and fenders all prepped. Discussed going a different direction with my rear quarters as they are cut with over fenders on em now. Gonna ditch the over fenders and go with some custom metalwork for a one-off wide body look. They're going to preserve the oem lines as much as possible and keep it understated while providing the clearance I need for my 265 rear tires. I'm really excited

Sadly I spun out last week end and had to get new bumper and tail lights, I have a Spa Yellow so matching was going to be a PITA so i am in the process of respraying the whole car in Rio Yellow. This will fix all my previous fender imperfections by previous owner along with bumper chips and dents and finally painting my front lip
original plan was to save for a SC but this happened. Just ordered some low pro aero Side diffusers and ill be fixing my Glad Fab Rear diffuser as it got bent and scratched. Probably will purchase a front splitter and a New soft top will be in my plans for the winter and a new clutch
woah now that i think about it thats alot of $$$

I intend to get a new OEM soft top, fix the tweeter on driver side door (stereo installer did a terrible job, the crossover rattles in the door too
)
As far as mods, I had purchased a set of Volk CE28n but the seller couldnt find time to ship??? So he sent me back the payment.
