don't put mods on your car if it's automatic. IMO..
Waste of money, get a 5speed ;p

wheels and a drop. best mods for appearance. btw. post up pics of your car so we can see what your working with. I might be able to tell you more little stuff you can do for the appearance

I'm kinda new to the civic world but I'd save my money and do the suspention first even with a stock engine just making the car tighter made it more fun for me. The auto has to go to though. like I said I'm new at this too. Check out some of other builds on this forum thats where I got some great ideas

paint the hubcaps and drop it
the suspension will completely change how your car looks feels in a good way

Whats wrong with your current exhaust tip?

Just drop the sum'bich lol and through a lip on if you want.... drop makes everything look better...

And honostly when I had my civic and it was lowered on my hubcaps I look at the pics and actually like it more than I did with my rims it looked so clean haha

take the hub caps off, paint the stock rims a nice gloss black, lower it, put a front lip
and get some amber corner lights.
