Help! What next for my car?

Hello,

I need some of your guy's advice and suggestions.

Currently I have the following,

- 2001 2dr Automatic External Blue Honda Civic EX

- 2inch drop (Progress Springs)

My first mod, a POS springs but really cheap and it did the job of lowering it.

- Cleared Corners
- APC Gen II Eurolites

- Kugo Muffler

- Axis 17 inch Touring Cup (Blue center)
- 205/40/17 Federal Tires

Right now, I'm totally broke but I'm still undecided what to do next.

So far I have concentrated on style/looks rather then preformance. I personally feel that with an automatic 127hp I'm not going to be doing any racing against a WRX or whatever. To me right now looks are important rather then spending the same amount of money and only getting 5extra hp.

Anyway, what next? What I have planned are the following in no order,

- 2 tone interior (white with splash of blue) - Basically the same type of interior that was in the 2000 Civic in the Import Turner mag.


- Ground Control Coil-Overs ( I want to lower it more and match the back with the front.)

BTW, instead of getting the coil-overs should I do the dreaded asking someone to cut current springs in the rear to match the front?


- M3 side mirrors
- Z3 Fendors ( possibe)

- Some sort of body kit. Mainly side skirts and front. Which ones?

- AEM Short Ram Intake
- Greedy Cat Back Exhaust

- Panasonic car-theater

- Kenwood Exelon speakers
- Alpine CD reciever

- Enclosed Subwoofers.

Questions are, what else should I be considering on getting? What should I start off first on getting that would produce more cost/benefits?

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Ray

I can suggest that you buy those GC's if you really want to lower your car a bit more but the only thing you'll have to sacrifice is the bumpy ride that coilovers would provide.

Body kit... Well I'd go for the stock front lip skirt with a flat black color or if you want, the Tsunami bumper looks more appealing and mean lookin for me.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]
