SI spoiler
SI Taillights
Type-R Front lip
mesh front grille
flat black emblems
JDM shift knob
no performance mods yet, I was kinda looking for some advice on where to start.

very clean, nice! If you want throaty muscle sound, go with a K&N Air Charger intake kit (http://www.amazon.com/63-1016-Air-Charger-Intake-Kit/dp/B000BR6WD6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325223938&sr=8-1). I'm also gonna get a yonaka exhaust, there's a sound clip from an integra on the cc store page for it. keep us updated, looks good man!

thanks!
The ones I have seen for the 6th gen Civic seem to stick out from the bumper and have a ridiculous 4.25 tip.
You need to educate yourself.
Si spoiler - no such thing as they were not standard nor exclusive to the Si model. There are two optional spoilers available, a low one and a higher one.
Si tail lights - again, no such thing. Half red/clear tails were cosmetic upgrade that all 99-00 Civic coupes received.
Flat black emblems you can DIY.
JDM shift knob - what does that even mean?

It's not about being technical. It's simple, there is a right name and wrong name for parts.
Sorry if you don't know the difference.
Ppl calling things something they are not runs rampant in the Honda hobby, leading to confusion, misrepresentation and wrong info (The overused term "JDM" comes to mind, like your "JDM" shift knob).
The uneducated ones are the ones that suffer when they go to buy parts, and it's not what they thought because of misused terms, but hey, it's your money.
just slam it

The whole idea behind this thread is the fact that im new to the civic community, and that im a first time owner who would like some suggestions. I'd completely understand if you were being apathetic in correcting me, but no need to be harsh.
Sorry if you're too sensitive, but I get straight to the point.I'd completely understand if you were being apathetic in correcting me, but no need to be harsh.
Since you are a 1st time owner, it is important that you research, read and educate yourself.
Lots of info out there, especially since the oldest 6th gen Civic('96) is now over 10yrs old.
Don't sweat it man. No matter how folks on here come across, they are usually just trying to help out. Some just get jaded after seeing no0b after no0b ask the same question or come on asking questions merely for the purpose of showing off what they've done to their car, instead of actually searching and using the site as a resource.The whole idea behind this thread is the fact that im new to the civic community, and that im a first time owner who would like some suggestions.

Not that you're doing that, all I'm saying is that Mr Baker is just trying to point out that the first step in becoming efficient at modifying or building these cars is teaching yourself the basics and learning how to shop/spend/work and what not to do. Most kids start out with their first car and do everything wrong trying to cheap out, and end up back pedaling to correct their mistakes. But there's no reason for that when you have a knowledge pool to study and learn from. Educating yourself will save you time and money in the long run.
You've got a very clean base to start with from the looks of it. Do you have any more pictures? The steelies might not look bad since the car itself is black too. You should keep an eye out on craigslist and other local classifieds... you never know when some desperate guy will be selling his nice clean wheels for a bargain. I agree with you that a drop would be a good first move. Coilovers are usually your best bet, since the ride height is adjustable.
Anyways, welcome to the site. There's a wealth of knowledge here, be sure to use it and good luck with your plans.
