big spoiler adds about 50 hp
fog lights add around 10 hp
carbon fiber door handles add only about 5hp
can't forget your stickers...maybe 2hp per sticker
racing seats about 5hp


Next you'd be looking at:
spraying it ($$$$$)
internal engine work ($$$$$)
turbo ($$$$$)

Unless your racing this car I really don't see the need to go all crazy with it...but it is your car and you have the final say!

Everyone forgets to mention that you can supercharge a Civic. Link Here



They are very practical for a daily driver. Instant power, no turbo lag. I am getting one for mine. Just a thought.

Well where would you get a supercharger for a 02 Civic LX? and it's cool jimmym86, i know people are tired of seeing civics with over sized spoilers, and some cheap sounding muffler.
