Depends on what you want it for. for go fast or show good
if you want it to be as quick as possible, wich isnt much... but it can.... you dont want weight and big wheels and the like, if you want it for show then go with subs and everything you can think of, except dont make it rice
lease:
but for the nimber one mod i would say wheels, or if you want something cheap, get spark plugs!!!

I say do what you feel...If you need some advice.....Look into the members rides.....Check out the pics of the cars....See what other people have done. Read old posts.....There are so many different ways you can go with the 7th gen. If you ask people you are going to get 50 different things you can do and no one has the same opinion. You gotta ask yourself if you want Show or go....There isnt that much go on the 7th gen though...Unless you spray the car(nos) or do internal engine work. A few bolt ons arent going to give you any noticeable power....You can do the intake, header and exhaust but you really wont feel it...the only thing you will notice is that your pocket will be lighter, alot lighter.
My advice would be to get some nice 17's or 18's...maybe a drop....a body kit if you want to go that route....tint the windows, and a system. You need a system, that is an essential. The two freee mods that you can do are to de bage the Civic emblem and the Ex,Dx,Lx, or HX emblem off the back of the car, and you can also clear the front headlamps....That will give a nice clean look to the front and the rear of the car.
Enjoy, and welcome to the board.

its your car, your money. If it was me i would work on the intake, exhaust, header, full suspension then the outside looks. Just keep it clean, not more "Fast and Furious" rides please. Clean cars turn so many more heads
Installing a custom upper grill makes the biggest appearance change and is cheap to do.
I also agree that shaving the emblems on the rear is a great mod to start with.
