Is it worth modding my 2002 lx coupe auto?
What do you people think? I'm going to keep the car for quite a while, I'm not really looking for speed so much, more interested in look and show. And what would be your first steps? Exterior, interior, etc...
And any other auto rides out there what would you suggest?

if you wanted speed you could always change your Auto to a stick with a RSX-S swap...but you arent lookin for that. Yea just go for show, get a nice clean kit, coilovers, rims, seats, system...
There is all kinds of stuff that you can do.

Rep Power: 0 When i bought my 2002 Civic LX auto i went just for the show. I started with the exterior (tint, rims, graphics, lowering springs), and then did a little interior work (painted the trim, etc...). I really wanted to get rid of the "old lady car" kinda look that the stock civics have as quick as i could. I don't really care about how fast my car is, otherwise why would i have bought a Civic. Anyways, good luck with your mods to your Civic.

Rep Power: 401 when i got my AT and read that mods were useless i went for show, dropped it, ICE, neons, and CAI and exhaust for sound but now that a turbo kit is out, i'm putting some "go" with the "show". you should just alternate your mods, 1 show then 1 go then 1 show etc.... or go from cheapest mods to most expensive, take your pick!
