I have had the car for a few months now.

Black out your tails it looks cool IMO

There is a DIY some where on this site on how to do it and what products you need if you want to do that...Maybe some projectors or a new grill...I.C.E., and maybe I/H/E, but those add up to be expensive

What country are you from? Auto or stick?

Body mods are a lot more common than power mods because the engine is very well tuned from the factory.

Nice... that chrome on it makes it look classy.

Search the website. You'll find a lot of good ideas by looking through the member's rides pics or the member's rides talk.

Wow. I wouldn't change much on it. I wish my Civic looked that nice.

my friend had blackout covers voer his tail lights like that silver civic and hes been pulled over 3 times by 3 different cops...a state trooper, city cop and another city cop from a neighbor city...they will bug the heck out of u for those. the headlights they dont care so much but the covers really dim the tail lights.

For looks, there is a huge market out there. As for performance, it's true, bolt-ons won't give you much power, especially for the cost. I suggest upgrading your suspension and bracing the chassis for funtime cornering action.

Front strut bar. Don't get a CAI, get an AEM V2 and it does a better job on these cars (imo). And it's a cinch to install.
