Whats your goal? Do you just want a show car, a go car, or a show and go car?

You could upgrade the suspension, get it lowered with coilovers on it. Depending on your area and if you get frost heaves in the winter or any kind of clearance issues with hills, etc. Than you might want to consider what a good ride height would be. Adjustable coilovers are expensive but allow you to adjust the ride height. Adding a front strut bar and rear bar would help for handling around corners, suppressing body roll.

Ummm get some nice rims I would recommend not going over 16" cause you might get clearance issues in your wheel wells, and that will effect the performance of your ride with the extra weight. You can get low profile tires if you decide to get big rims, but those are expensive and wear fast. IMO get some light rims that are 15" if you got the money.

And the style now is keeping rides clean, with no crazy bodykits or spoilers and decals/graphics, but if your into that stuff than thats cool.

Some foglights, good quality ones not cheap walmart stuff....

And tint or black out your tailights and headlights, some options just throwing stuff out there

summitracing or procivic are a few, I would just run a few searches there are a bunch of sites rangeing in cost, quality, and styles.

http://www.procivic.com/pages-main_p...body-kits.html <---- these are for your car not many dif styles but there are some out there.
