Plans: CAI, upgrade clutch, Bridgestone or Falken tires, and an A-Pillar gauge or two.

Sounds pretty good so far. One thing I'd definitely recommend is getting a header; it'll help your car exhale a little more, complimenting the exhaust you have. You can pick up a Megan Racing piece for around $160, or if you live in Cali, you can pick up a Hedman Chikara header (smog-exempt) for about $160, or a DC header (carb-approved) for around $300. You could get an ebay piece for something like $100 shipped, but take into account that the quality seems to be hit or miss with the generic headers.

I'm definitely not worried about all the smog stuff, Missouri doesn't really care about laws like that. The car does have to pass an emissions test, which it did, but that is the only real clean air regulation that we have here. I don't think I would buy anything off eBay. I have had terrible experiences buying things online in the past. There is a performance shop near my house that does all kinds of stuff with civics, so I am going to go out there and price out some things tomorrow. I'll get a few more pics up tomorrow as well.

Thanks. I really like the yellow on black theme as well. The windows were tinted a lot darker when I got the car, down to 5%, but I got pulled over for not having any plates and the cop couldn't see my temp tag and blah blah blah. Anyway, had to get the windows redone, so they are not quite as black, but I still the think yellow on black theme looks nice. I am planning on tinting the tail lights as well, but I think I am going to wait until I get the plates on the car until I tint the lights. Thanks for the compliments.

Thanks. I am going to try and take it to the park tomorrow and get some pics with the lake in the background. Have to see what the weather is tomorrow, but I think the yellow car in the backdrop of the lake and the autumn leaves will look nice. I'll post them tomorrow.
