Just bought 02' Civic 2DR LX *pics inside*

Stock 5 spd manual
Body - 160,000 miles
Swapped 04' D17 engine - 80,000 miles
AEM intake
Halo Headlights
Rims

New to forum, advice is welcomed!

RPM Gauge is stuck - Any ideas?
Front bumper/lip is chipped off excessively - Thinking about getting a LeBra?
Dings & chips in some parts of the body

Previous owner did ALL mods to car credits to him, but I want to improve the car's look any way I can. Throw in some ideas you guys are pros.

Thank you in advance, great community btw!

Welcome to the forums!
Looks very nice, except for the chips on the front

Personally, I would remove the honda sticker, debadge the trunk, change the shift ****, and pedals, remove/change the steering wheel cover, then change to 05 tail lights

After that, I would clean the car, clay it, then wax it with meguiars

But that's just me.
Nice ride though, I like those rims

What would be best for the residual glue? Any shift ***** on eBay you may recommend? Are the 05' tail lights the same? will they just fit if i buy OEM or other?

btw thanks for the quick reply!

Just to add to the things Kenny said, lose the mud guards.

Swapping the 01-03 tails for 04-05 needs a little bit of modding. There are some DUI articles lying around here on the forums somewhere, nothing too big of a mod anyway. I personally like the 01-03 tail lights. I like the ( ) (C and backwards C look) look it gives to the car lol. Very unique I think. 04-05 tails just look cleaner

Residual glue - Goo Gone, best product ever made
The 05 tail lights looks a little bit more aggressive and cleaner
Shift ****, i would suggest the JDM honda shift ****

I didnt even notice the mudguards, but lose them
I think the 05 tail lights look much cleaner than the 01~03
it's a minor mod, about the same knowledge and know-how of hooking up aftermarket speakers, takes about 10 mins with all your material
