If you wanted a hot rod but ended up with a Honda Accord, you may be looking for ways to customize the Accord to make it look cool. Despite it being a sedan, there are a few tweaks and customizations that you can make to your Honda Accord so that it stands out from the rest of the Accords that may be in your parking lot. Regardless of how you define cool, you can make your Honda Accord more representative of your personality.
Tint the windows of the Accord. Auto parts stores typically have kits to tint your windows on your own. If you aren't comfortable doing the tinting yourself, you can use a local auto customization shop in your area.
Change out the shifter knob, gas pedal and brake pedal in the car with customized ones. Auto parts stores, such as Pep Boys, sell unique and cool shifter knobs and pedals. For example, you can do all chrome pedals, get a skull head as your shifter knob or a light up shifter knob.
Install a ground effects lighting kit on your Accord. Such kits can be purchased from auto parts stores and installed on your own, or you can pay for an installer at the store to do the installation.
Paint the exterior of the Accord with a customized paint job, which you can do by taking the car to a local car painting shop. Or you can skip painting the vehicle and attach decals, such as flames or Chinese symbols, to the vehicle. You can also opt for racing decals. Decals can be purchased at auto parts stores.
Install Honda racing seats in the Accord. Prices for the seats vary because many different models and brands are available. Racing seats can be purchased from car customization shops, such as Andy's Auto Sports, Your Hot Car and Slick Car. If you aren't experienced in installing seats yourself, you should let a local shop do the installation for you so that the seats are safely installed. Installation prices vary.
Replace the rims with custom ones, which you can get from a local tire shop or car parts shop. Prices vary.
Put in a new stereo system and speakers in the Accord. You can even upgrade to a satellite radio or an in-dash navigation system if you want to spend a little extra money. Car audio shops typically offer installation for a small fee when you purchase your audio upgrades.
