Re: ANy Ideas?
but seriously, ill tell u the best advise you will ever need to know about the hobby about car modding:
1. its very expensive
2. if you do it, do it right the first time, meaning dont get cheap BS parts thinking you'll just replace it later with better ones because you'll just be wasting alot of money.
3. what i said in #2
so what do u want? alot more power or drivability?

yeah, what riceboi said. before you do anything else to your civic (since any bolt-on to the engine won't do anything), just drop the car. then get rims, then lips, sideskirts. or can get audio system. but if you want performance from the stock engine, i don't know what to say to you.

Re: ANy Ideas?
wow, ok chrome rims....be no no! chrome is heavy, alluminum alloy, u want a chrome look get one that are polished.....as of where to start with the mods....the exterior would prolly be the best way to go for u since im willing to bet u have a warrenty on the car.....pretty much any aftermarket mods will void ur warrenty so make sure u check before putting anything on the engine.....but u can start with like a hood, fenders, sideskirts, bumpers/lip kits, new spoiler, vinal, rims, tint, rain gaurds (if it's a coupe) **** like that.....the real goal of a tuner is just making ur car stand out from everyone else's

you can have an aluminum that weights 10lbs and chrome it and it willll still weight about 10lbs....

CF trunk is crap they never close right and they get worse in the cold. plan to be crawling into trunk with a flathead screwdriver from the back passenger seat to get it to latch close when it gets really cold out. the hood's though tend to work fine I do recommend hood pins though if you get a hood.

yeah dont bother with cf. it usually breaks or just starts to look bad after a while. i finally saw the pics, i guess opera was the problem not working right. explorer is so slow tho i hardly use it.
