STORY
I purchased my Honda Odyssey the 3rd quarter of 2010 after my Honda Accord got totaled. The money I received from the insurance was my down payment towards the van. I chose a Honda Odyssey because my wife was pregnant with our 2nd child. So, obviously the space was well needed.

A few months later, I was on Facebook and I came across this group VANKulture. Being curious, I clicked on it. GAME OVER! The captain of the group, Paul Cotaco, was the guy who got me really into modifying the van, especially knowing that I was the first 4th Generation Odyssey in the group. From that point on, I was determined to get my family van, a grocery getter, a new look.

I got my Vossen CVT wheels then placed H&R coil-overs. A couple of months of car meets and guys making fun of my "high" (4x4) van, I went with airbags a few months later. I then entered my van at SPOCOM and BLOX Evolution in 2014, the very first car shows I entered. I knew that there was no chance that this Odyssey was going to place just with airbags and wheels. I just wanted to see what was out there and get some kind of exposure.

From that point until now, I just added a couple of new parts to the exterior and painted a few things. I got a Sarona grill, rear add-on lip to the stock spoiler, and a mid wing. All new exterior parts were painted to match the van. I also painted the stock skirts to match. All the paint was performed by D B Auto Body Shop in San Francisco, CA. I installed puddle lights along with LED interior lighting. My airbags are from ACCUAIR and were installed by James Osborne from Sprint Autoworks (#becausebags). Custom fabricated brackets were made and sent from Hawaii by DMC Fabrications. The VOSSEN CVT wheels were bought and installed at Caliwheels in San Jose.

The one thing that has not been touched is the interior. Bone-stock leather seats, and the only touch-up are the LED lights as mentioned earlier. But I have my plans for it. To be continued...

FAVORITE MODIFICATION
My favorite modification is the ACCUAIR airbags. That made the biggest difference! Hard-parked anywhere, I get people taking pictures of it or I get the thumbs-up from folks. I feel like this was the biggest accomplishment I ever did on any of the cars I modified.
