Welcome man and yeah sure definitely need some tint
the weathertech visors are pretty expensive but they seem to be worth it if you want a slim profile
um....the ebay halo lights? the output is ok...but you might as well pay ~100 more to get a good retrofit from angelo
and im not into dash units but go for it theres a few guys on here with some pretty nice ones!

Good Luck!

Welcome, good choice. I got the same car and love it. Mods sound good but also get yourself a TRD rear sway bar and front strut brace while you are at it.

Sounds like a good start. Don't forget to lower it, add at least a TRD front strut brace & rear sway bar along with some larger wheels. You won't believe how great it will handle after these mods.

Why don't you like the in dash GPS units? I love the looks & performance of my Rosen. It has a huge screen, no wires always in the way, no worry to always unplug it & jide it at every stop.

Tint: YES! I'd check your local laws and make sure 35% will be legal. I had to go 40% (on top of stock ~5% giving me the limit of 35%)

WeatherTech Window Vents: I will not own another car without them!

Halo headlights: IMO, I would not do that, eBay headlights have bad quality I've heard. I had Shft99 (a TN member) do my headlights and L O V E them!

-a lot of people have also gone through Angelo as previously stated, Both at TN members and LOVE supporting fellow members over no-name companies!

Nav: Get the Rosen or comparable HU! This is on my list of mods, for sure!

Other mods I'd suggest (mine are side noted): One Piece Lip (99-00 Accord Type R Lip), Lower her (9th Gen S tech springs), wheels (any 5x100 should work), Intake (Takeda SRI), Exhaust (MagnaFlow), TRD FSB, RSB, etc so much to do to these suckers! Just make it your own!

Did you have to alter the accord lip? And is that the "home depot" mod you then added to it?

Yeah I remember him saying he had to modify it a bit to fit.

If your planning on running the lip, you'd either have to get a new bumper or get the bumper worked on since that lip won't cover the holes that the stock lips use to clip on with.

Yes, had to dremmel and heat gun to get the lip to form, but was not hard at all. Walked another guy through doing it on another forum. Also Yes the HD lip splitter below the Accord lip.

Yes, you will have some holes. Here is his pic:

I like the lip for the CE/LE/XLE but that looks terrible on the S/XRS leaving the holes. They should have just used a one piece lip that covered the holes.
