you asked for advice so it was given to you. Those rims look a little heavy.

Chrome wheels? Are you trying to be a gangsta? No offence I'm not digging them either.

Do what you like. The wheels look fine, atleast your car is unique, unlike the Civics on here. They want you to build what they like. Don't buy a front lip, and 15s. Get what you like and want.

You could buy the parts to make a short ram intake or search around here for one. I thing you can get one from summitracing.com for like $95.
A header, lowering it would be cool too.

I'm kinda confused about this. You're telling him not to buy a front lip, because we suggested it, but you're suggesting lowering it. (Not saying not to lower it, that would be a good mod for sure), but it's pretty hypocritical to tell him not to listen to what we think he should do (especially when he asked for ideas), and then throw in what you think he should do.

Not trying to start anything, just trying to point out that he asked for ideas, and whether or not he wants to listen to those ideas is up to him, but he still asked for ideas so we're trying to come up with some.

And getting rid of those rims for some lighter ones is definitely a valid suggestion, as he is probably losing a lot of WHP from their weight. Whether or not he wants to buy new ones is totally his choice.

hate to break it to you, but he asked for our opinions on what he should do. That's exactly what everyone gave him. If you ask what everyone thinks you should do on a forum full of civics with i/h/e/lip kit/drop/15's-16's, you're going to get "i/h/e, drop, lip kit, and small wheels" as your answers. I have a clean-a** civic... I'm not about to tell someone to go get a star trek body kit and chrome 20's.

To the OP: at least get a drop... wheel gap ruins cars, it's that simple. Talk to anyone who's ever lowered a car and then raised it back up... it looks like a monster truck at stock height. Also, a lip kit (or body kit if that's your cup of tea... and judging by the chrome, it just might be) would look nice.

yea you can get some of that **** for hella cheap on ebay such as the lip kit, grill, and foglights. Man and I have to agree with everyone those chrome rims look bad, sorry. Civics just dont look good with chrome rims, like everyone else said 16-17's because they are small cars, HAPPY MODDING!

Well even for appearance you might want aftermarket exhaust (just not a fart can, please). Those little stock mufflers don't look too appealing to me.
Plus you probably want your car to sound good. If so you should do I/H/E.

i agree with the above (suspension, lip kit, grill, black housing headlights, different rims, HID)

Just a question..Sorry really new.. What's uh, I/H/E ?
