no tint, get rid of halos and do BOH, keep oem tails or get 04-05 ones, carbon trunk to match hood and lip, side skirts to flow front lip into rear bumper since you didn't mention a rear lip


and for God's sake, do not do anything else before you LOWER IT!!!

Lowering it does not mean you have to slam it to the ground. You can go with a 1.5" drop and still be able to clear most everything just fine. It will make the car look muuuchhh better as well. I'm lowered 1.5" on Tokico Blues and Tein S-Tech springs and I have no problems with clearance - this includes inclines and speed bumps. The best part is my Civic no longer looks like I'm 4x4ing it!

These were brand new parts ordered from ProCivic.com. You will no doubt be able to find these parts around for cheaper but I like to buy brand new and felt comfortable ordering from ProCivic. I did the install myself so there were no labor costs. After the install you will need to take your car in for an alignment. My alignment was about $60 at the Honda dealership.

The install was not that hard. I just followed the spring install diy here on the forums and finished it in an afternoon.

strut install is a breeze. i think i got my shock/struts of ebay for ~$400 brand new, in box, never opened. the hardest thing i had to worry about was the bolts in the rear were so rusted, it was like they were welded on. i used an air compressor at 40, 80 and 120 psi before it failed on me and still nothin. took me and my brother like 2 hours with a 6 foot "tourque wrench" (wrench with 6 ft poll, lol) and a can of wd40. so just heads up.

Ouch... I know how you feel Sic! For me it was the front passenger brake line bolt. A simple little 12mm bolt but damn was it a bee-otch to get off! Ended up rounding off the head by trying all manner of wrenching and chiseling. Eff'd that bolt up but finally got it out with a massive breaker bar, wd40, and a special socket for gripping rounded bolts.

hit up TrueHonda.com or Dezod.com. both are site sponsors and i'm sure both will have a suspension package priced so you can work with it.
