My New Ride

ok well new to me. sup guys, some of yall may already know but here is my new car i just picked up last night from carmax. i have gone over the the dark side and bought an 04 accord coupe V6 6 speed. 82,000 miles and nearly spotless, cant even find any door dings. this is the first manual car i have ever owned and i practiced all night 
. im not as bad as i thought. first gear is the ONLY tough spot. i figured out the uptake on the clutch now i just need practice to make it smooth.
i cant wait to start modding this one, but ill have to keep its goal in mind; fun, reliable DD with good mileage. oddly, i had planned on getting an RSX-S but this poped up at a local carmax, i did some research and found it would fit me better. the funny thing is that while faster with more power, the mileage is about teh same as the RSX-s (on paper) one mpg less but this uses regular, and the S uses premium. any ways, enough chatter, PICS...
VTAAAAK YO!
my first mods will be to add foglights, intake (the sound of this thing with is amazing, mayby not as good as a SRI on a 1mz though:thumbsup:) and remove the badges. plans are to tint, dump the current monster truck ride height, add TL-s swaybars (interchangability is great with this), an OEM lip kit, and put some nice silver meshie 18 wheels on her. i may not go much further then that with it. it is plenty fast as is and id rather save my high power money for a project car.
