It'll cost you more than 300 bucks for all that, but invest now or invest later, guess it's your choice.


Good choice on not cutting the springs. Though some people might have cut theirs and had no ill effects, I don't suggest drastically altering something that was precisely engineered.
couldn't have said it better myself

i agree aswell, but i hang out with alot of kids that dont have the money to do a nice suspension upgrade like half of you guys can, but i just suggested it to her as an option cuz us 18's dont have much money, especially if were going to school and have part time jobs.

O shit sorry, I forgot lol, I wouldn't be getting a touch screen, what I was going to do was use a touch panel, similar to what you use as a mouse on a laptop, just a pad you touch with 2 buttons underneath it to select stuff. That way, you save tons of money by getting a non-touch screen lcd

Oh shit.. I didn't even think of that! I dunno. I think I would rather spend the extra 100 bucks or so and get the touchscreen... Less stuff to "find" a place for...

Im trying to figure out how to put the screen, a super thin laptop slot loading dvd player and my stereo, all in the console.... I need to get an extra console from an accord or something to do it to....

I have been thinking of doing this for a LONG time, and I really think I am going to start working towards it.... I have the computer, I just need the screen and all the wires... Oh.. And a console.

well I was going to put everything in the glove box and hang the dvd player next to the on the left side of the passenger footwell, my friend is great with lexan so we were going to make a lexan box that is permanently attached and put the dvd player in it to give it a finished look. Touch screens are so expensive that I was just going to do this touch pad thing instead because you can find an lcd screen in say a gaming system, take it out, fit it in some lexan and put it in the center console where the cd player is now. It'd save a TON of money and get the same effect.

alex we could deifnitely get together. I am like the master of detailing cars lol, I have tons of products you are more than welcome to use, and I have a buffer to do the paint cleaner and polisher. It's definitely better to have 2 people to work on them, gets done faster.
