id say drop 600 on rims, then get some lowering springs, that the most dramatic appearence change u can do with that amount. Unless u r a strictly performance guy and looks dont matter, then do with purely suspension or a high grade catback exhaust system

i say a good wheel/tire package, maybe 16"s or 17"s, and then a set of Tein S-Techs. That way you get the look/performacne of aftermarket wheels, but you wont go through that humiliating stage in a tuners life where you have wheel gap.

so good ^ trust me

if you want to go for looks, get rims... I'd say 16's or 17's. 18's tend to be a little to big on civics, and 15's... well, what's the point of getting 15's? (unless you're a hard-core jdm enthusiast or you are a member or honda-tech lol)

If you want performance, you can get an intake, a header, and/or a cat-back.... I don't know prices on the newer civics... I have a '94 EX and everything's dirt cheap for it

ooooh snap

i say rims/drop still, and then intake, and then a header, then cat-back exhaust, then complete enginge re-build w/ blueprint/port/polish and valvetrain upgrade, running 14 psi of boost and a 75 shot. Dont forgot the Stage 3 tranny or the LSD either.

7th Gen Sedan! Yay! I recommend NOT wasting money on performance... our LX's are not fast cars so dont fake it until you get an engine swap. I started with my altezza tails and ebay projectors (now they are high quality projectors)..... by the way... what color is your car?Next I did my money wasting on intakes then exhaust kit which really dont do much compared to what I could potentially do. Next was my tenzo r front upper and rear upper struts and those are great... then stereo system
