Biggest impact

Of the following items which in your opinion has the largest visual impact when added to a civic?
1. Larger size wheels
2. Body Kit
3. lowering springs / coilovers
4. Tinted windows
5. Air Brushing
6. Neon

Please choose only one item and tell my why you think that one item contributes more to the visual asthetics of the civic more than the other items. I am only trying to get your opinion here. i am not asking what I should do to my car next as many people in the past have, so please do not flame me.
Thanks for the opinions to all that answer.

Body Kit - My reason for this is because your changing the look of the largest part of the vehicle... the body.

body kit without rims ususally look weird.... especially if the body kit is extreme... (oem ones flush together fine though)

I guess rims does quite a bit too.

ah, its quite subjective, but body kit and rims goes hand in hand... I duno, I'm not into exterior mods, but I think if I have some rims, I gotta have a kit too.

Drop it first! any car that's been dropped always catches my eye. I don't like the look of rims on a car that's still stock height

Drop it, get rims, then get a body kit.

I would say the rims and tires. That changes the look of a car totally. Everyone has a different style when it comes to picking out wheels....and one rim compared to another rim can totally change the look of a car....If that makes sense.

If you bought your car w/ the oem body kit dropping it will significantly make the car look different. Just as long as your not riding with hubs and steelies.
