just bought an 08 civic coupe! have a few things in mind, need suggestions/feedback
just bought an 08 coupe in the dark navy blue.
i have a few things in mind, this is a daily driver.
yellow fogs
lowering springs
gunmetal wheels (thinking about ssr type c rs in gunmetal)
intake
what brands do u guys suggest?
also, will adding the intake change the air/fuel ratio drastically without a tune?
thanks!

Fogs - either K2 or OEM
Lowering Springs - Tein or Eibach
Gunmetal Wheels - whichever floats your boat and how much money you have to spend
Intake - Injen or Fujita
Adding an Intake won't really change the air/fuel ratio too much, you'll be fine

yes, you can install OEM fogs on a car which didnt come with one. You will have to install a switch in the cabin to power them on. usually goes on next to the place where ur higher/lower (adjust) beam hits.
intakes - you can either get CAI or SRI. CAI i suggest Fujita, and K&N for SRI

The fogs are easy to install. The wiring is already run through the car, you just have to plug it into the plug behind the front bumper, and then plug the other part of the harness to the inside of the car and mount the switch. The full instructions can be found on any Honda website that sells the accessories. You might consider buying the regular clear fogs and installing yellow film to go over the lense, or yellow bulbs or yellow HID's. Just in case you decide later that you want to go back to having the clear look. Just my .02.
oh, and as far as cutting the plastic, just use a razor blade. it cuts through the plastic on the bumper like butter. don't use anything serrated.

I would recommend at least looking into H&R (Sport level) springs as well. They offer slightly more aggressive lowering, so I looks better, and there's no noticeable difference in ride quality. I've had both Eibachs and H&R's on a variety of cars, '94 Accord, '97 Civic, '02 Maxima, '05 Accord, etc.
