Default just bought a 97 coupe!

hello, i just bought a 97 civic dx, coupe, 5 spd about a month ago. i have plans for this car, and i love it to death.
i bought the car for 2500, it is my second honda, first one was an acura legend. bought it ALL STOCK. im talking stock floormats too.
car is black.

currently sits:
aem dryflow SRI(20 bucks off friend)
gsr shiftknob(free)
alpine type s speakers all around(200, friend works at best buy)
pulled hubcaps, painted steelies flat black.(5 buck in paint?)
debadged(free)
156k miles

amazing condition, no dings or dents. or anything.

plans:
remove the oem pinstripe
lower it(gettinf h&r springs off a friend, good deal.)
getting struts to complement the springs(good struts?)
CF front lip, CF hood
jdm mesh grille
ebay foglights
oem headlights with black housing(NO hid lights! haha)
2000 taillights(red top, clear bottom)
rota or konig rims, flat black or bronze, havent decided yet. (either five or six spoke, undecided)
NOT DOING 2000 front end, overplayed.

i am swapping the engine for sure, havent decided which one, either way, i dont want to bolt anything onto my single cam.


mind you i am seventeen, so these mods will come with time

its not a project yet, its my daily. if i were to make a thread, it would be a very slow one. hopefully the car will be lowered and have new wheels by the first of the year.

im dropping it 2.5 inches. i wonder how many tickets im gonna get....

I like your mod list.... but Id suggest not getting CF lip as its a waste of money, period lol.

Not bad for a seventeen year old.
