Got me a new project car

I sold my accord coupe and I picked up an 04 Acura RL Nav.
As much as I miss my accord, this car is doing a good job of soothing my sorrows.
Could this be a VIP car?

List of things to start off with:
1. drop
2. lip kit
3. wheels

then later I would like to change up the brake setup and custom paint. As of now, I'm having the hardest time finding a suspensiopn that won't leave me begging on the streets.

Feel free to put in your thoughts and thanks for looking.

ohh yes love rls. if it was MY car, id retrofit some JP ucf20 bumpers on that ish.

@ VI IX, i disagree. while id agree with drop, wheels, kit, i think with only a lip kit it can go before wheels.

Good choice. It's a great car.

And I'm with BAHC, you can get the lip kit first. It won't hurt.

Thanks.
Sadly, the hard part is finding the suspension needed to lower her.

Thanks y'all.
Actually, I was thinking about buying everything and then installing them at the same time. I don't think I want to do the drop without wheels, wheels without the drop and lip without the other 2. Unless I can score some nice daily wheels for a temporary sort of thing, It will stay stock until I obtain all the parts.

Not a bad philosophy. I'm too impatient though.
