    first off , give that mofo a good bath and detail , you need to be a lil more specific with what you want to do , boost/na , looks , jdm , also how is your budget for this car , you also need to give better pics of the outside so everyone can see what your workin with!

    Agreed, do this and we'll be able to give you advice, but do what YOU wanna do and don't do things people tell you just because it's trendy.

    Don't mind some of the people on here, it's all part of the process of being on IA.

    I would say a good start would be to lower it and maybe some wheels. Dont cheap out on suspension either. I think somebody is selling some Rota Slips in the for sale section, a little over done but will definately look good.

    go to a book store, gas station, head to the magazine aisle, pic up an SCC dsport or even super street (only if you have to) and figure out what you like. Then when you have a question on which wheels/front bumper, etc..... come on here and ask and we will give our opinions (not that they mean much).

    -Rear Sway Bar
    -Front Strut Bar
    -Performance Brake pads
    -Slotted rotors
    -If it has rear drums, convert it to rotor

    Interior
    -94+ Integra Leather seats
    -New shift boot
    -Decent ball shaped shift knob
    -Decent stereo setup

    Exterior
    -Decent front lip
    -Sylvania Headlight bulbs

    omgsweetzersomgwtfbbq....

    ok first....you need like some amber corners

    and then....like...like some....slipstreams

    oh oh, and an ultra cool mugen lip for the front

    and one of those ultra cool jdm tags off ebay

    so your civic can look like 80% of every other civic in existence



    word of advice....stop asking people what to do with the car and do what you like, whether its show, go, a mix, jdm, or if you wanna set that bitch on fire and roll it off a cliff....noone really gives a fuck, its your car, do what makes you happy
    -2001 Lexus IS300
    -2004 Pontiac GTO - 530hp/625ft lbs - 10.62@130mph - Sold!

    dont worry about the bashing, you have got an easy car to moddify bodykits are hard to pull off so i dont recomend any thing along that line, first lower it, intake, exhaust, wheels then by the time your that far you'll understand what looks good and what is rice.

    dont pay attention to all the guys busting ur balls its just part of the initiation process... so far i think the best idea is the one about looking on hoda-tech site...
    but just some ideas of what I would do if it was mine...

    first of like someone said detail the shit out of it nothing worse than a dirty ass car... before u go spending money on performance stuff u really need to do some reading on what route u would prefer to take. Turbo? N/A? SC? Show? its all a matter of preference but they all have there pro's and con's..
    me personnally i would (depending on the money) would drop it , put a lip on it tint the windows, some wheels. then save up buy a gsr or an H22 motor and build it nad boost it.. in that exact order. then after wards worry about exhaust and maybe some cosmetics...
    either way good luck on what ever u decide let us know if u need any more help .
    but be prepared for the asshole comments just dont take them to heart most people on here just like to give people a hard time
