Sup guys,

Alright, I've never really been that into cars but i just got an 04 civic and have gotten a bit more interested in messing with it. The car has 133000 miles on it so what would be some mods that i could do that you guys think would be worth it. I mean i probably will drive the car till the end of its life. But im open to any ideas of rims, body kits, exhausts etc.

Thanks

Welcome!As for mods,don't expect much hp gain in small stuff.If you want power,there's really only two options,turbo or engine swap.For exterior mods,go ahead and lower your car before getting rims.If you wanna keep it clean,a simple lip kit would do good.

i have yet to see a body kit that looks remotely good on our cars. but a drop and lip kit looks pretty nice then if u want sound maybe an exhaust and cai but like already said dont expect any gains but maybe throttle response.

also cams give a fair amount of power gain if its an ex. if not you'll have to do a head swap first, which i think is also worth it cuz then you have vtec.

Alright I guess that everyone seems tk agree that lip list are the better option, so are there any recomendations about any sites to get some? And the drop definitely sounds good. Exhaust would be something else I'd like to look into, not necessaRily for power but for sound

Best bet is to do a search. Tons of sites.. optionjdm.com...carid.com..and the list could go on.. I have not done a lot of shopping for your year car but i am sure a lot of people on this site can tell you the best places to go..
