New Guy looking for some tips of fixing up my ryde

Sup all,

I drive a 2000 Honda Accord 4dr stocked (leather interior). I am just now starting to get into fixing up my ryde, I am doing it fully for show since my car is a automatic. I am looking to invest a lot of money into my car to get it to look as phat as possible, I get paid about $500 or so every two weeks and majority of my paychecks are going straight to my car.
I am just looking for some tips or suggestions on some tight shit I can do for my car and figured this would be the best place to ask.

PS. Right now i got about $700 saved up, I know it isnt much but not a bad start. Plus i get paid in a week and a half and i have a grip of overtime.

Welcome to HS

Since you're going for show, you'll want to save up for wheels and a drop right away. You'll want adjustable springs for show so you can slam it when you want to. Look into a Ground control/Koni yellow setup for ~$850 or so. If you want to spend a little more, you could get true coilovers, or if you want to spend less, you could get non-adjustable springs. Its up to you.

Your best friend on this site will be the search button at the top of the page

Good luck with your car!
