Hello guys!!

Just got a new Honda Civic VTI-S 2003 (4 Door Sedan - Asian Version).
Color is Nighthawk Black Pearl.
Since there are so many things a car owner can do to improve the looks and
performance of their new car, can you guys help me decide what upgrades I
should do first? (ex. seat covers, grills, headlights, filters etc...)

...I wouldn't have this problem if I had so much money to spend
I'm running on a tight budget so it would be great if you guys can help me figure out
the best upgrades that are not too expensive

Thanks!!

instead of the mugen grill you could get a header to complete the I/H/E setup, but yah rims and a drop i say are one of the better things you could do to your car. it makes so much more of a difference.

please reverse drop and rims. rims with no drop = 4x4

rims drop at same time, then tint and exhaust

I don't know if the asian version comes with this but, JDM headlights for $7.00 Do them yourself, pleanty of info on this site to do them. Cheap and easy. Otherwise drop and rims first then kit. or for performance.......

Id recommend not buying intake, header, exaust the gains are very minimal for the money and you end up replacing the intake and header when you get turbo(exaust=good for turbo). Also get true coilovers not springs they ride like crap(if you have springs you know what im talking about). Around my town nobody will look twice at your car or take you seriouly unless you have rims so that would be my first mod then tint and a nice turbo setup. One of the best things someone has told me with cars is dont skimp on car parts you buy cheap you buy twice.

great suggestions guys!

I can't drop my car and change my rims cause road conditions here are really bad! I thought it would look better, neat and will look new longer without the tints (right?) but after your suggestions I might consider it now =)
Wats the best tint color for my black civic guys??

Instead of droping my civic, I'd consider buying a body kit but is there a kit for cars that are not dropped?? =/

I'm going with the grills too! you say mugen is the best?? wats the latest and badass design now?? wat color? =/

Thanks again! =)

Or if you're on a really tight budget: Type-R Windshield Banner, Blue Washer LEDs, Mugen emblem, Indiglo "H" emblem, and an APC rear window sticker (neon green). Otherwise, stick with what everyone else said. Sorry, had to do it. Comic relief.

Suspension/Rims real suspension full coilovers it i'll save you some trouble later on even though there are a bit more expensive, performance mods are alright i guess even though without turbo your car isn't really gonna move but full catback and save for wtv else you want.
