my ideas and comments consist of this...
save your money, stop modding.
your car is just were it need to be! (in one peace)
leave her alone. Good luck to you!

As far as exterior appearance goes, looks like its begging for a drop and some rims, but its pretty expensive (which is why I havent done it yet). Your front end looks pretty stock- headlights and grill, maybe change that up if your looking to spend some money. Couldnt see the rear, so maybe you got some ricer tails hiding back there, dont think ya do though. Is that blue tint? After that, looks pretty much done from the outside, and all interior mods are preference... My attention is at the engine. Theres a number of things you can do, dont limit yourself to turbo. But to be honest, given your past driving and accident record- maybe you just wanna spend some money on driving classes. I'm not flaming, just looking out for your safty. Because honestly, once you turbo your car, its like giving it testosterone, its not ment for everyone.

LOL! Buy Rennen's turbo mani and start piecing together the parts to slap a snail on the nose of that bitch!
You've got a nice looking ride, I would hit it with new shoes, suspension, strut bars, short shifter and aluminum bushings (my favorite mod currently), and then either your standard bolt-ons or a turbo. Other than that, keep it understated is my opinion. I have a CF hood and will be repainting it soon to keep the weight savings, but lose the CF look. I'm 31 for God's sake, I don't need a CF hood.

That looks really good man. One of the first black civics I like. How much did the whole thing cost by any chance? The lip kit, paint job and labour all together?

im workin on the suspension now... for some reason... the car sits a little low on the right side... most likely from my accident...but im consdiering installing a new suspension i got sittin in my room for the last 6 months and haven't gotten around to doing.... just relle busy with school... id also like to black out the headlight... jsu need a new set of tails to cause i shattered on a little while back
