new n00b on the block
 

well I just got my restricted a few days ago and parents promised me a car as soon as I drive "better" ;) hehe anyways right now they're giving me their blue honda civic, I dont know anything about it (or cars) but wat I do know is that it has 1.6 vtec engine, blue, abs brakes, 96 model because its painted on the side :D anyways I was thinking about changing some bits here and there to make it look better, Im not really a racer just a kid that just got his license and wanna cruise around town so wat are some stuff I can change that will change the "appearnce" I dont care about the engine and all that (well as off now) so wat are some stuff u guys recommend? Also was browsing the site and say this car: http://www.hondastyle.com/mods/image...5/interior.jpg was wondering wat are those dials near the steering wheel on the left? looks fancy and cool :bandit:

Hiya :wave: and welcome to HS! The main thing that I can think of right now to change the outward appearance is a body kit. I'm pretty sure everyone else can give out some more ideas as well.

howdy & welcome :wave:

as for appearance, i'd give it a mild drop and get some rims. maybe get the windows tinted, clear out your lights. i think those are some basic things to make a car look nice...and like lude said body kits are cool too.

Welcome to HS. As for those gauges, you won't need them until you're fairly modded.

wat about interior appearances? also anyone got like a apporx. pricelist for these parts?

body kit, lower, wheels, (if you have stock exhaust it will look damn stupid)..carbon fiber hood, hood pins, big brake kit, painted calibers, side panels. you should do the basic performance mods also...exhaust, intake, headers....(maybe some powercoated engine parts)

interior: dash kit, air/fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, tach, shift knob, pedals, racing seats, steering wheel..even though most of the interior mods are for performance, they do look hella awesome as well as providing the race car feel. if you do decide to go for some speed later, you will be set.

DUDE ... one word.... SPORT COMPACT CAR....... ok i can't count..
go to your local Barnes and Noble, grab the latest SCC .. go get a Frappicinnno... (ok i can't spell either) and read and learn, thiers ads for EVERYTHING in thier for your car. Here's what I'm doing.. feel free to steal, modify, anything you want.
Altezza lights... done
Tint ... done
Alarm ... done
neons on interior... well half done
18" chrome wheels... Done
Big shiny Exhuast... sittin in my trunk
side markers
Lowering kit
Maybe a set of those Clear Nozzle Lights... I'm debating
Ground Effects
Suicide Doors

That's my list for now.

oh yeah... welcome to the boards. Happy honda'ing

Welcome.... Drop, kit and Rims!
