LT's Master Plan *Update on Pg 5 (lookin for valeos)*
Alright now after much deliberation and thought heres my master plan... well its not really a master plan its just what all i am planning on this year... and i guess i just need help in deciding the order in which to do them. OK heres my list of ideas.
1) Black Alteeza Grill (completed)
2) Coilovers w/ Camber kit
3) RSX rear sway (completed)
4) Green Microfiber interior (ceiling, and door panels)
---- Decided not to go green, but a flat knit headliner like in the 07 accords. (Installing)
5) TYC's Retro'ed with Valeo's (TYC's installed, HID kit bought, Valeo's searching )
6) Neuspeed Front upper strut (completed)
7) Retrofit my OEM fogs with projector fogs (Omitted)
---- Decided go with yellow fogs (Installing)
8) Stiffy (Omitted Due to #6)
9) Brembo Blanks w/ Hawk pads (Completed)
10) Green LED Center Console & Gauges/Needles (Gauges Done)
11) OEM Rear wing spoiler (Completed)
12) OEM Full Lip kit (Saving $$)
ok thats all i can think of right now...
Ok now this is what im asking of you all... if you had to reasonably chose some to do without devoting every single paycheck which would you do? Like what order, and preferably why, would you chose. Like right now im thinking of just 3, 11, 1, 4, 10 so far, but im open to all criticism and help
btw heres how my car looks now

I'd do all of the suspension work first. You'll notice it more than anything. If you have the money for coilovers right now, go ahead and do that. If you're kinda on a budget right now, maybe get the strut tower bar for the front and some of your exterior mods.
thanks man, but what do u suggest? like im looking for all feedback

Sway bars are really just considered the "icing on the cake" for a performance tuned suspension. They are a great mod, but stiffer springs and shocks do way more to reduce body roll

as everyone has said. suspension first and your good to go.
and also number 5.... do a retrofit into OEM housings. they will look sicker
iono about the icing on the cake part, swaybars are really important suspension components that affect the balance and turning tendencies of the car...the 21mm rear sway from the late rsx's is a damn good upgrade for our cars even on stock springs and struts, and its not expensive. you'll notice it more on the stock suspension than on more agressive spring/shock combo also.
Sell ur car ... Add it to the money ur gonna spend on those mods ( which hardly make a difference on ur performance) and get urself a used 2002 Rsx Type S ... and tell me if u feel something different in the ride quality

i'd love to, but my car is about to be paid off within the year, plus i like my 7thgen...i would go with a rsx, but they cost too much, thats just more i have to put into it. Besides i really dont like the idea of buyin a used car, like my p's bought me mine used, and that irked me, cause i didnt know what was wrong with it 100% or how it was driven. But yeah, i plan on keepin my civic for a good while.
besides i just got a brand new tranny like less than a month ago for like $50
but still what is your answer to my question?

if i were you i'd save that money for a k swap, but coming from that list I would get the suspension first (coilovers, strut bars, and sway bars). Then work on the exterior
