Congrads on the car. They are fun as hell man. I use to only drive trucks, and always made fun of ' rice '. Now i'm addicted.
wow, 150 miles a day? thats CRAZY.
Start off with your basic mod of the full intake.
I dont think a muffler will hurt warranty, as it has never effected me.
Short-throw is great, if stick. < better be stick >
Rims and tint. Would be smokin clean.
Other than that, I'm not sure. You could actually ask your Honda dealership what all you can do without voiding it.
Ya gotta update us with some pictures!

ya i think tint is the best thing you can do to the car! just have it done by a pro!
protects the interior and makes it harder for prying eyes looking in your car!

when there's a problem with your car and you claim the warranty, it will void it if it turns out that a mod that you did actually cause the problem. si's are great model for civic, i would begin with appearance mods, like tints and wheels. since i think the si's are perfect as is internally, maybe just I/H/E, although i like the SI exhaust

Si is a nice car. But out of curiosity, why did you switch from Muscle to import?
