My civic, suggestions please

[jvictim]

I bought a 97 civic dx not too long ago, and I've been wondering what I could do to increase power, performance, looks, everything basically - without decreasing gas mileage (because it's wonderful).

Mods so far:
Short ram intake
Halo projector headlights (I know many people on this site aren't fans)
Tinted taillights
15" gt sport wheels
Aftermarket 4" muffler

Future mods:
Type R style grill on its way
Better quality intake
Tint windows
Possibly replace tails
New headlights eventually
I know many people will say to drop it - it takes a lot of money and want to wait to do it right

Before:




AFTER:

get come ctr head lights and tails, and the yellow fogs. a front lip like the type r one as well as the type r grill. drop it, get some hx rims or some si's. window visors too. paint your calipers. remove the "dx". exhaust system as well. for the interior, a type r shift boot and knob

Tails, lip, and a drop...

 

[EK|B]

Keep it clean.

 

[jvictim]

What size rims should I get? I was thinking 15"s or 16"s, 17"s I thought would be a bit too big, especially if I were to drop it.

 

[Kensai]

wash it

 

[SilverEXCoupe]

I'd love to find a deal on a hatch like that!

 

[jcamb]

wash it, then start with the grille and headlights.

I thought about slamming. But this is my daily driver and it's kind of low as is, and living in upstate ny, winters aren't wonderful when it comes to roads especially where I live and I don't want to scrape snow with the bumper at all.
Maybe a 1.5-ish inch drop would do the trick?

sounds gd man , u should go 4 it every inch counts
