My name is James and I just purchased an 04 civic ex charcoal grey 5 spd. Definately not looking to build power but for sure looks. So far Ive gotten grill piece(not installed), enkei 18" or52 silver, chrome exhaust tip. Lip kit will be coming soon as well as HIDs but need input on combinations. Ill also post some pics of what im working with later today if you want to check back and help fix up my ride. Thanks for taking the time to read.

Dude, you're gonnna want to add to the performance. If you don't, alot of people on here may consider that rice. Just buy yourself an intake atleast.
But anyway. Welcome. Sorry, but I can't help you with those HIDs. I don't have any myself.
I'm Taylor

Naa not even an intake for me. If I was wanting performance I wouldnt start with a 127 HP motor. I would have gotten a mustang gt or something. I got the the car cause its great on gas, looks good, and came with a 6 year 100,000mile warranty. A lot of things I cant do cause Im not voiding the warranty. As far as RICE I with Goob. When I think RICE I think of someone with my car and has nothing done except an intake thinking its fast and trying to race everything that pulls up next to it. Thats rice. When you get a car you no what its capable of and what to expect. I have a cavalier z24 that has performance mods only so Im happy having that be my racer type. Pretty much anything you can think of besides supercharged is done to the car. Not sure on HP just know I can pull slowly top end on gts and z28s.

Just because you are focused on appearance doesn't mean you're rice and that's not going to cause people here to label you as rice.
Now, if you go and throw lambo doors or throw decals for product that you don't have, then, yes, we may call you rice, haha.
But anyway, welcome to the forum.
Post pics of your progess on the car.

Welcome man, show us pics. I have somewhat similar goals, I am thinking of getting a racing grill of e-bay, a lip kit (most likely OEM) and a set of 17 inch rims (most likely gunmetal color. Future plans are a sri or cai. Nothing wrong with what you have planned and it isnt ricer. Ricer would be something with huge spoilers that look like fire escape stairs, neon lights lots of useless decals lamborghini style doors etc. And besides if you want your car to look ricer than more power to you, it isnt my thing but its your money and your car do what makes you happy with it :)
Welcome and enjoy yoru civic, you dont really need mods in the first place to make it fast, my EX is stock and its pretty damn fast, but at the same time I don't race with it nor do I plan to, I like it because its economical, looks sexy and can be made even sexier plus its sporty and handles well.

sorry but I don't agree with you Gonzo. He is not trying to be a ricer.Ricer's are the wanna Bea's, putting all this decals all over the place and those ghetto body kits and just adding an intake making you think you are going to smoke anybody on the streets or highways. Very 
If your goal is just to focus on appearances that is so sweet dude,A lot of people just focus on looks. I think that is pretty cool.Your car will look so killer with a drop and just like you said lip kit will make it even sexier. HID kits are awesome. You will have to re-adjust the headlights again because if you leave the same setting as they are now you will be blinding SO many drivers. Might be giving you the finger..lol.

I really like your car man, its like mine but I love the tailights of that year, mine is a 01 and while the body is pretty much the same your tailights are cooler. Good job keep it up.
