some of you guys are posting ur mods but not specifying if it was worth the money you paid for it... c'mon now folks... anyway:

greddy sp exhaust: $450
good purchase... the sound is a deep growl and doesnt really get loud until after vtec... didnt notice too much improvement in power, but then again its only an exhaust

AEM CAI: $200
got freaked out and bought the bypass valve as well, but looking back i could have done without the bypass... anyway, it sounded pretty sweet until i put in the exhaust which completely overwhelmed any sound that the intake was making... power increase was minimal if any

tokico illuminas: $250
they were all right up until they blew out a year later... after installing my new shocks i find out that the guys who put in the illuminas had cut the bumpstops which probably contributed to the tokicos short life... i'm having mixed opinions on them still, though...

neuspeed sport springs: $150
good ride height. If i had to do it again, i woulda picked up the ground control coilovers on the basis of their adjustability... the neuspeeds are excellent if ur not going to adjust the height

16" momo sport rims + Yokohama 540's: $340 each + $170
arggh... they bent on me causing extraneous vibration... i dont think its the rim's fault though... i drove pretty hard after getting them ; ) ... traction on the tires are pretty good, at least compared to the daytona tires my stockies came with

koni yellows: $600
awesome. 5 way height adjustable and stiffness adjustability. By far the best shocks i've encountered. If i had to do it again, though, i'd juss get some teins and be done with it. Oh well

vis cf hood: $300
good looking hood. i love it

92-95 civic lip: $75
very subtle but adds the finishing touch to the underbody of the car... abs plastic owns j00

painted stock rims: $5 per can
hmm... just like motohip, looked pretty good AT FIRST... then the weather started to make it turn brown... next time imma powdercoat 'em...

painted stock tails red (except for reverse light): $5 for can
awesome. when i tell people i painted the taillights they get confused because they cant tell where it was painted... one of my favorite mods because the orange sucks

i have some sound stuff done, but i'm too lazy to list it out and plus they're probably obsolete by now...
