What should i do to my new civic?
I have a 2004 Civic LX Coupe (black). Any suggestion what i should do to it? Im planning to tint my window and get a cat back. Was gonna get a spoiler but factory spoiler cost a whoppin "$500" (a little too much for this little 16 year old chinese kid).
why didn't u get factory tint when u bought the car? just wondering. and uh, what u wanna do depends on how much u can afford, I'd personally go for the sound system first, a car must have it's tunes. then go for the rims if u have hubbies...unless u like hubs.

Rep Power: 0 lol, well i think it's already tinted a little on the 2004 civics, but not enough. Im makin about 800 bucks a month (so little, but not bad for a 16 year old in school). 300 goes to car payment, 200 per month goes to insurance and like 100 for gas. that leaves about 200 or so a month. I want to do whatever i can do to it cause there isnt any performance part for the new civics.

Rep Power: 0 mm congrats i bought my car at the end of my grd 12 yr... took me lots of saving to bring it to what it is now...
I say mod your car so it looks nice at every stage... sooo id go with getting it lowered and then save up for a set of rims n then an exhaust n then a kit

Rep Power: 0 you say there aren't any performance parts out...uhh..it's the same as all the other 7thgen civics...and personally i'd go for rims first, save up the money and do that first, the rims make a car, then build from there

I would go for whatever is more important. You can start with exterior mods, like bodykit and rims, or go for performance. DH-racing has alot of engine upgrades availabe.

Rep Power: 0 tint, lower, rims, kit, if you don't have that much money to spend on headlights.. clear the headlights 
... after that.. go for the performance.. if you race.. do it vice versa.. performance first and so on..

Rep Power: 0 Steal his hubbie spinners just for fun, and put a some kind a tripod and put it in the middle of your lawn and make it look like a miniature wind mill imagine having all four hub spinners in your lawn... I wanna see his reaction when he sees it!LOL
LOL I kinda wanna put hub spinners on my car just for the hell of it...imagine the faces of ppl! HAHAHA but seriously, this is a new idea and DIY that I'm about to do, put a motion sensor near my left hand so I can brush my finger over it and the cd player turns on.
heres what u do with the 500 dollars. u take it to the bank, deposit it, save some more money, deposit it again, keep repeating urself until u got so much money that u dont have to ask this question anymore lol.
its just a thought, but if u want my opinion, every civic's first mod should be a lowered ride height. stay close to the ground beeyatch!!!!!

lucky I have my pager goin off... They're selling one on ebay which has an LCD alarm, and pager, motion sensor and all that ****! Highly recomended, hundred bucks man it's worth it, and if you have auto trans then it's even better it has remote start! just check it out here's the link!

gearbox: now what where would the excitement be in that? if someone comes into my car, say a girl...and she wanted to listen to music, I wouldn't even have to touch the keys, just wave my hand across a sensor and the player comes on...everyone will be amazed by that cause they won't know. It's all about creativity my friend...and it's not expensive to do either, just some imagination.

ummm that was my starting idea...to turn a cd player on, but my idea now is to put a sensor on my key, and another on my outside door handle, whenever I brush the key over the sensor, it will unlock/lock the doors...kinda like keyless entry with zest...heheh I just like imagining...I'll prolly build one for the trunk to pop open too, would be kinda neat no?
