Too bad the car you "customize" still looks the same as about 300 other ones in the world. Dude if you're 30 seriously look into something else unless the civic is just a fun track car and you like to auto-x or something. They're fun for modding and screwing around with but if you're a business person or something driving a civic to a meeting or taking clients out doesnt look too good.
Honestly if you're 30 and making a decent living you can afford a payment on something that suits your age like maybe a 6spd SE maxima or something at the very least. Oh yeah if you pay 7 grand for the CRAPPY honda performance package you should be SHOT and never allowed to mod another car in your life.
I'm 20 and i drive a 97 M3 sedan which honestly didn't cost an arm and a leg and is worlds better than my 00 turbo EX with leather/stereo/hid's etc etc was. It sucks, i'm sad to admit it and i didn't wanna accept it forever but at the end of the day a civic is still....just a civic which is why i didn't just get another EX and move all my turbo stuff onto it and continue my project.
