Default need ideas on my 06 civic

i'm new in this forum. i was juss wondering if u guys hav any ideas to do with ma new ride. i dunno if i should work on da exterior firts cuz da interior looks fine as it is. can't really change da deck on dis car cuz its mounted in. i'm not sure whether i should get a 10" or 12" sub woofer.da stock system is not bad but i'm hungry for more bass. i'm planning on changing da rims dis spring and i wanna kno if it will affect da springs or nething else. 16" s i think are big enuff cuz i dunt want the tires hitting da fenders. and i also dunt even think i hav to lower it cuz it looks low enuff. if u guys hav ne good ideas to tell me pls let me know i'd be glad to hear dem all.

I've found it's easier to do one thing at a time. What are you looking for first? Appearance (Interior & Exterior), Performance, Suspension/Handling, Sound System? It helps to narrow your search down. It sounds like you are leaning more towards Appearance and a Sound System, so start there. You into body kits? Lips? Spoilers? If so what kinds? Google it or I'm sure people on here have suggestions you can look at yourself. And don't let anyone tell you, "That's rice" or whatever. It's your car, not theirs!

Can't help you much on the sound system, cuz everyone has their own preferences. Check out the Audio/Visual section on the main page to get more ideas, to include the "Your System??" link. Personally, I've got 2 1600W 10" and I wouldn't trade them for any type of 12's.

As to wheels, same story. 16's are the happy medium between them all, above that, you'll start feeling a rougher ride. Don't have to worry about the tires hitting the fenders though...The reason you end up with a rougher ride as the sizes get bigger is cuz the bigger the wheel, the smaller the tire. You could put 18's in there fine, cuz there will be barely any rubber 'round it! If you think it's low enough, cool. I'm sure if you put those 16's in there, it could still go a couple inches lower! I don't think putting bigger wheels'll hurt the rest of the suspension, but I'm sure others could help you out more with that. Anyway, it's 3AM and I'm just rambling. Hope that helps you more than it hinders!

Personally, I'd start with the little stuff. For example - my work just tinted four '06 Civics and they look pretty nice with tint. Try some nicer wheels as well.

depending on how much you want to drop into your civic and what type of things your going for you can get a place to do some custome upolstry for your seats if you no a color sceam you want to go for..but i would give it some tint first like ^someone said, and get bigger rims..the new civic are i think 4 inchs bigger then the 05's all around..i would do 17" or even 18" would look good because its a bigger car now comparied to like a 95

Save your money and wait for hondata to come out with a re-flash for your ecu, and do the regular bolt-ons like a intake, exhaust maybe lower it a lil
