How to make my civic look good?
So I just got a 2002 Civic EX coupe. It's dark green. I was just wondering what I could do to make the car look better? It's running stock everything right now, save for a very dark tint, not sure exactly what percent.
So, aside from paint, what would make my car look nice?

Ex 5 spoke rims on 205 or wider tires. The EX rims are really under rated.
The stock tires look like they belong on a bicycle, far too narrow at 185-195.
Stock spoiler, 2004 or 2005 coupe tail lamps and rear bumper cover.
All these things are very subtle, yet will totally change the appearance of your car.
Be careful about lowering. It costs A LOT to do it right without sacrificing ride quality or handling. These cars do not have the smoothest ride to begin with. Another option is to just get bigger rims and tires to fill up the fender gap, but that throws your speedo off.
