I've always wanted a honda but never have had enough money, I just bought a 1996 hyundai accent for 575.00 dollars, it needs a paint job and a little bit of work but its running and is worth it.

nice choice in car and great price especially since it is running. like it's been said you can do alot to that car, and you've came to the right place to find out what to do. just read up around the forums.

good luck.

Sweet deal man...sometimes I wish I had bought an X3 (that's the chassis code that refers to the model car you have) instead of an LC (the chasis code for the car I got...check to the left for that).

However, while wishing that I just slap myself in the face. I like my car alot.

Finally...welcome to HP! Most people here will say that this is a good resrouce...and it is. But there are other compaines out there that cater to Hyundai as well.

Happy moddin!

It looks good from a distance.

A lot can be done to the Accent.

I have done quite a bit to my car as well.

I decided to add what you can't see:

CD player with high power amp and sub
Short ram CAI

I plan on lowering it one of these days. I want to get different rims for it; the rims I currently have stick out further than I want and when I do lower it, the edge of the tire probably would ride against the lip on the quarter panel if I load the rear end with people.

I find the 4 door more useful than the 2 door.
