Thanks guys! I've been lurking this forum in general since i was a teen (2002).. i never owned an acura, had a 94 honda accord for five years and now i finally get to join the fun here!

As for the mods, i plan to keep it simple with some visual mods first.. but i have not decided.. reading up on some detailing before anything else because i wanna take care of the paint..
