Wheels, tires, and lowering. That's probably the most cost-effective mod to get the most dramatic change in looks.

Especially to an Integra. All Integras deserve to be slammed. Excluding Type Rs of course. What color is the car?

For your girlfriend, at least get a Cold Air Intake and some headers... I guess DC Sports. If she likes exhausts, or wants something faster, put one on. She will give stock Preludes a run for their money at least. (If not beating them.) I'd say put a high-flow cat converter in it, but it doesn't make the engine SOUND better IMO. LoL, don't give a girl a turbo if she's not modding it herself. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG] One word: Maintenance.

Moving back on the outside again, I like Acura's optional body kit for the car. If the car is a 97 or older model, then it really deserves it. Personally, I wouldn't settle for any other kit. Keep it simple yet stylish.

On the inside, a new CD player would be better... better get some speakers or a sub to provide better sounds.

Maybe a new shift **** or petals... or a short shifter.

A GOOD alarm... it's an Integ... the most stolen car in America. Might even want to consider LOJACK but that's not something you do on your own.

Going extreme, I'd shave the door handles and get door poppers. Oh, and those side moldings, too. (I just don't like the moldings, don't mind me.)

Tint the windows.

Don't touch those beautiful leather seats...

If I were you, i will fix your own car first, you don't want her to be running you all day,
she'll be telling all her friends that she can burn her boyfriend. That's embarasiing.

It is the opposite situation for me.

I have the GS-R and my girlfriend has a 2001 Civic LX Auto Sedan,

we aren't going to be fixing up her car. It is somewhat under her parents control and they don't want me modding it for her or modding it at all for the fact of the matter. But, the auto civic is so slow. if it were just a little bit faster then I wouldn't be complaning but, it's too slow for my blood.

well we have been working on my car alot. I have been spending so much money on it lately that it aint even funny. and trust me her car cant beat me I had my friend drive my car and yes it is an auto and I drove hers and yes hers is an auto too. and my car beat hers by like 2 cars I was mad that I lost but happy that my car beat hers. Yes I tried to beat my own car. BUt yeah I already dropped a CAI into it. and she wants headers, exhasut nohting loud though, and she wants purple flake and i very quiet body kit. Why girls love purple I have no idea. And yes we are dropping a new head unit in there soon. I already hooked her up with some hyper blinkers and my sponsor (iRotors) might hook her up with a deal for brembo cross-drilled/slotted rotors for her front and backs. but more advice would be appreciated.

They don't make auto GS-R's unless it was the 92 or 93 models, then I believe they made the automatic option on those but, still don't quote me on that, I'm not for sure.

Say tell me the redline on your girl's integra.

sounds to me, like your girl has an LS, those come stock with 142 HP and will be alot easier to beat with your 7th gen Civic, what mods do you have in your car by chance. stock 7th gen civic EX coupe comes with what? 127HP?? The GS-R comes with 170 Stock, weight is relatively the same in the 2 dr teg and the 2 dr vic, nothing more then 100 pounds. GS-R's only come in Manual Transmission. What mods do you have that gave you a power increase of 43 HP? I am impressed.

if she's looking for a quiet exhaust - or one that sounds nice i'd go with an RSR, if you can find one. A few friends of mine had RSR's on their tegs and they sounded VERY nice. some rim's and tires would be good, maybe an ITR rear sway bar.

I wouldn't bother with the ITR rear sway bar, just get a comptech tiebar/swaybar combo. Set it on the soft setting, and you'll have Type R type handling.
