    Default Modifying my Accord

    I have a 2005 Honda Accord EX-V6 NAVI in satin-silver, with black leather interior. I love my car, but I want to do some modifications to it. I don't want to do anything too drastic to it because I can't stand cars that are over-modified.

    In Europe Honda sells a car called the "Inspire", it's basically a European version of the Honda Accord, but it looks cooler. I found a place thats sells the parts to do this conversion, but they aren't cheap!

    Essentials to the modification would be:
    Inspire Headlights - $850 (could be done without the other parts)
    Inspire Hood - $480
    Inspire Front Grill - $300
    Inspire Front Bumper - $650
    Inspire Fog lights - $300 + wiring
    Inspire Mirrors - $680 (could be done without the other parts)

    That's the list price for all of the parts, that's not including shipping or tax. Some of the pieces would have to be painted and I would have to take it to a body shop and they would have to install it all. The whole conversion would require:

    Inspire Front Lip - $600
    Inspire Rear Bumper - $750
    Inspire Rear Lip - $600
    Inspire Side Skirts - $800
    Inspire Door Sills - $240
    Inspire Mud Guards - $250
    Inspire Badges - $40

    There are European engine upgrades but they are for the 2.4L I4 engine, and I have the 3.0 V6.
    I'm at a point in my life where I don't care if you like me or you don't. If you like me, cool. If you don't, meh.

    I'm actually 19
    And yes, I am fully insured on a 2005 Honda Accord 3.0 V6 and my insurance is $2000/year (1200 pounds). I am also insured as an occasional driver on 2 other vehicles, one is a 5.5L and the other is a 3.6L.

    Haha Insurance isn't as bad as you think sometimes.

    I have a 5.9L L6 Cummins diesel, and mine really isn't that much. Considering it's a 6,300lb truck.. 37" tires and a 6" lift ;P

    well its cost me £1000 fire and theft insurance for my 1.6 vtr saxo as a first car.. thats without the modifications added.
    edit:
    also if your going to do engine modifications you'd be better of selling the car and buying honda inspire import.
