im not really a fan of the interior covers or the tails. im sure you can find a nice set of 04-05 tails on ebay for cheap, and some tasteful rims instead of painted hubs.

Get rid of the tail lights to oem ones, then lower her and a set of rims. And not a fan of the steering wheel cover or the seat covers.

-Jumping on the tail light bandwagon and saying ditch 'em for 04-05 OEMs
-Black out the bezel on the headlights. And hell, why not retrofit them while you have them taken apart.
-Just personal preference, I'm not digging the random red under the hood of an EBP civic with a blue interior. I'd say change it to blue, gunmetal, white, silver, whatever color scheme you're gonna go for..
-For under the hood, ditch the stock intake, get an ebay pipe with an AEM dryflow filter.
-Get yourself a Neuspeed or DC sports strut bar. It'll help with steering response and look kinda cool under the hood.
-Definitely a drop would help. For a (relatively) cheap setup that'll look good, Tein S-Tech springs with Tokico Blues (struts).
-Grab yourself some actual rims in lieu of the painted hubcaps. Some cheap brands that'll do you good are rotas, buddy club, 5zigen, enkei. Just make sure that you're not adding weight to the car by grabbing some rims. Stock steelies weigh (I believe) some 20-22lbs without tires. I have Buddy Club P1 Racing SFs in a 17x7 size, and they're 17.5 lbs a piece without tires. Those ran me about $160/rim. Also, if you decide to plus size your rims, make sure you get tires that are about the same overall diameter as your oem tires. For 17's, that size is 215/45-17. Use this tool to find out
-For your interior, you can make your interior lights (dash, cluster, etc) blue. It's kinda time consuming, and hard if you don't know how to solder, but very do-able.
