Newbie in the house!

What's up my name is Tom, and next week I will be purchasing a 2003 civic ex ^^
Afterwards I'll probably have like 600-700 bucks to spend on the spot to suit up the car and I need some help.
I don't know what to do yet, I would like to get a body kit but don't know where to get it for cheap. I would get to ebay but I heard it's not of best quality from rumors, rims will be added later on. I don't want to get too flashy and end up getting smoked, pointed and laughed at for working only exterior. Maybe getting started with increasing a little horse power with air intake, muffler ? Help me [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

working only exterior?? thats all i do. im not investing in speed cause no matter what you do, its still a civic, and someone else will always have a bigger pocketbook (or engine) welcome to the club though! [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

you can't get i/h/e and INSTALLED for 600. the parts only, maybe. tom, first, get a hundred dollar aem short ram. then look into either dropping it a few inches, or puttin on a cat back. thats really all you're gonna have the cash for. i'm kinda in the same spot as your actually, i just got my 03 lx last week and i've got some money to drop into it, but i'm just so darn indecisive about what i want. here, go here and find out what poeple have to say about a question i asked... hope this helps a little...

I'm looking at the group buys items, seems like there's nice prices around. What's the range of painted and installation of a body kit anyways ? Cause I can save up for it. I guess I'll be the first member to rock a kit with stock civic[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] but then again a kit without exhaust ? I'll be pointed and laughed at!

You guys know a website for good prices on body kits that I may have...

Thx retito for the reply, but I'm living in buffalo and we get tons of snow luckly this year it wasn't that much. Dropping it a few inch with a kit on it, I wonder if it's gonna scratch the kit >8( Well I might go with intake/header/exhaust like iluvbritney and your advice since it's a good start, but I dunno...
Switching to another subject
You guys mind telling me what the "ricer" definition is ? All and all I am a n00b might as well get that down.
