What should I do to my 03 Civic EX?
Any suggestions on what I should do to my Civic?
I just got it and was wondering which one to get first, a sound system, a spoiler, or rims.

Re: What should I do to my 03 Civic EX?
Depends on what you want to do with the car. I mean if you want speed, why go with a sound system? It will just weigh down the car.

Why not go with suspension? Or try creating something cool and custom made that you think will fit your driving habits?

Nice car that's a lot like mine, I got an 03 Civic EX. Mine's 2 door and came with a spoiler when I bought it. I'd say put a header in it, that's what I'm doing. And some fog lights are always nice if you didn't get 'em from the dealer.

Re: What should I do to my 03 Civic EX?
Just think about what you would enjoy most out of your car. For me rims do change the look of the car like night/day. The spoiler with give it the sportiness. I'd say go with the stereo. You can't see the rims while driving...you'll pretty much always be listening to tunes so I think ice is key...

Agreed. And try to do as much work as possible on your own. I would go with the spoiler first. Maybe this will give you some ideas.

Re: What should I do to my 03 Civic EX?
I tinted my windows, got some 17"s and dropped mine 2" and a cfh. Looked way different! But like they said before, it all depends if ur looking for speed or looks.
