New wheels, paint lip & grille. Fix your hood, looks higher on the right side.

ok thanks you think the hood lift comes from the fender bend?.. or is it the hood itself?... and where do you recommend i look for some tight wheels i was thinking of 18s and keeping these to play with because there mad light!
Also what color you think I should paint the lip and grill?... I think it looks kinda cool with the color variations maybe i can be wrong?.....

18s are too big for most peoples taste. But other than what he said i think those cheap looking side markers need to go... other than that not bad for a 4 door

Get a CAI or build it yourself, a lot of DiY´s on this page... Polish your headlights a few DIY´s on this page too...

Yes i am looking for performance and also looks Im kinda thinking of going into everything although i know 18s wont be the best to use for performance i dont intend to race everytime i drive its more or less a swap when needed situation.. but what are 50/50 tailights.
and the term sod? what does that mean
And Im actually somewhat like you when it comes to rims but its was the style i am refering too not the exact rim

what is a CAI and when you say polish my headlights what do you mean?
thanks
CAI=cold air intake
the only real options you have for performance with the SOHC is Turbo/Super charger. Or you could swap out the engine

Well its a 4 door so obviously its meant to not really go fast. If you drop the rim size and drop the car down low then I think it would look alot better without your obama wheels....

its the lights that are half clear and half red. it might just be me am not a fan of the amber lens i think it dates the car. and the clear ones look alot fresh and seen as you have the clear side markers, to go with.

for very little $$ you can paint your driver's side trim, front lip, and fog light covers. If you want you can also get the fog light yellow tint filt already pre-cut. IMO it looks nice. You can also paint your mirros, your grill, and de-badge your care, everyone knows its a honda civic...

you could get like maybe 4 or five more hp by completly removing all ac (piping, compressor, fan, take of the belt) and power steering.
