2003 Civic LX Sedan
I just picked up this 2003 LX Sedan 5 Speed. The thing is bone stock and the first civic I've owned. Any tips on things I can do to it with out spending a fortune. This is also my daily driver so it needs to be reliable.....Is there anything i should know about the car that is common to go wrong?

Re: 2003 Civic LX Sedan
Tint, drop, rims, rsx rear sway bar, projector & HID retrofit, LED ext. lights, LED int. lights
Basically, stick to cosmetic or suspension. "Performance" upgrades are next to negligible unless you go all out with cams and getting a tune or going turbo. I/H/E will only get you 5-10whp, depending on what stuff you use. $400-$1000 for such little improvement just makes it worthless to me.

I'm not trying to scare you either. Just giving you a heads up.
