Proud owner of a 2001 LX COUPE, here are some pics in my photobucket http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v5...Honda%20Civic/, anyways, I've saved up $1000, so what do you guys think my first mod to be? Based on your guy's responses that's what i'll do! (and i'll post new pics then of course). I was thinking a set of rims or a new stereo system (since the stock one stinks).

im gonna go with suspension first, cuz no matter what you get other than that, people will tell you to lower it. so get some lowering springs to save you that part. lol

I'd say some tint & some nice rims !!

Get a savings bond! I know people love modding their civics, I used to as well. I wish I would have saved all my money I spend modding though. A better car in a few more years would be much more fun. Or spend on a trip or an adventure. But if you MUST mod your Civic, get some nice suspension mods.. Teins, sway bars, strut braces ect. You'll get the most performance for the buck and will be much more exciting to drive. But remember, you can spend $10,000 moding your civic.... but its still a Civic.

go with rims!

scizod

I would say tint, rims, possibly sterio. Maybe even lower it if you can stretch it.

suspensions or sound system!

depotcivic

If you do suspension make sure you do it right the first time. Then get rims and maybe then tint.

My choices would be
1)mild drop(just springs like a prokit) and rims
2)full suspension drop shocks strut bars etc..
3)header exhaust CAI and maybe drop springs if you DIY.

^ yah like others said go for the suspension setup first coz $1000 would not make your car any faster. go to dezod.com they have package deals for suspension

So, here's the top one: suspension. You don't have to think about it much. Most of us say it.

in addition to everyone saying suspension, you gotta do it right. stock shocks wont last long if you go with a serious drop, so go with a full coilover set like the tein SS. after that rims and tires, and you're all set for the exterior unless you want a kit...and so goes the bottomless pit of modificaiton.

Best new mod I ever done for my Civic = new tires. Potenzas are horrible.

depotcivic

Yeah, I agree so far. Im still waiting for my suspension.

megan 32 way adjustable dampers. bout 8-9 hundred bucks. spend the rest on a camber kit for front and back.

yeah, the $1k will get you a quality drop... don't half *** it, might as well do it all at once. Otherwise tint and some stereo stuff and a short shifter... But if you got the $1k now, might as well get the big mods done first, instead of doing a bunch of small ones.

...or you can gimme the thousand bucks so I can drop my civic and get rims for it just putting that little piece of info out there, you know if you ever feel generous

I could have bought a brand new sport bike with all the money I put into my civic, but my civic would be stock and suck. Mod it if you want!

Rims are a great place to start, and so is a stereo with subs and upgraded speakers.

greenEX

Wheels - Suspension - Body Kit - Stereo

In that order and they should each cost about 1000 or more when done right
