    Ok so my brother is about to get his license and he's gonna get my grandma's car. its a 2000 honda cr-v and it looks pretty
    much exactly like this picture except minus the roof racks. My parents and I have decided as a gift, we would do a few things
    to it. shes a smoker so we've already decided to go find some replacement seats.

    anyone have any ideas on other things that could be done to it? i've seen them go the JDM route and i've seen them lifted on big
    tires, seems to be alot of possibilities. I think he would appreciate a nice clean looking car that maybe stood out a little bit,
    but not over the top. and i havent put much time into thinking about a sound system, but im sure he would like that too.

    also there seems to be a good amount of parts that came stock on the higher end models that could possibly make it look better

    Leaving it stock is going to be the best thing you can do.

    thanks, those suggestions were pretty much exactly what i was looking for. I did find that the car came with an option for a spoiler above the back glass, i might try and find one at a junk yard
