I just got a 1999 civic coupe ex and was looking to make it look nicer/faster/sportier etc and also add speed to it, any suggestions on what to start out doing?

 

yes that would be research

whats your goals?
how much money do u want to spend?
is it ur DD or a show car or a race car?

 

Our general "sportier look" suggestions include a Type R style grille, a Type R or Mugen style front lip, OEM spoiler, and fog lights. Black housing headlights are optional.


Just saying...

 

its stock 127 hp and i want to get it closer to 200, i would probably try to put down about 3000$ right now and its just my everyday car but i want it to look nice and look fast

 

i would also recommend a body kit, and vinyls if your into racing or just for looks

 

$3,000 for go-fast looks!? Damm, you doods be ballin'... lol.

lowering springs are cheap and improve handling: $100-$200

new rims and low-profile tire packages: $500-$1,000 (varies greatly)

full coilovers (instead of lowring springs): $500-$1,000

supercharger/turbocharger kits: up to $5,000 (varies greatly)

Intake: $100-$400

Headers: $300-$1000

Exhaust: $300 - $1,000

If it were me, I'd go straight for performance and get full coilovers and new wheels/tires. After that, headers and intake.

But doing something as simple as tinting the windows, waxing the paint and lowering the car an inch with springs, will do wonder's for your ride.
