hmmm, drop it first. Then look for rims.

after that, exterior nicities. Red and clear tail lights off 99-00's are dope. maybe some new headlights too. (fancy that, I'm selling some )

maybe a supercharger since you run automatic. You won't be speed racer, but you'll probably run mid 15s with it. The auto kinda limits full potencial, but its all good. I love my auto more often then not.

after that, work on sounds. Maybe swap some integra seats. Take a look around, they make lots of shit for civics. Search here, search on Google, and search on Ebay. Great resources.

have fun :thumbup:

btw, I've got some headlights and a type-r grill you might want

do what you can. you're not gonna do a swap first if you can't afford it. if your goal is just to make it look clean, i'd go with a clean drop with some nice (16") rims. it's pretty hard to make an automatic even a little faster without somewhat of a major thing (supercharger, turbo, nitrous, swap). i know because my old car was an automatic. i'm sure you could do it, but (in my opinion) it's just not worth it.

Do what you think looks nice.

if you want a clean look, leave it stock, and save the money.
