Icon2 cheap mods?

ok so don't get me wrong, i'd love buying all name brand things for my car, but i just don't have the money ya know?
being 17 you just wanna have fun with your ef as a dd to school and stuff lol

any suggestions on some little things to make my dd a little better without breaking the bank?

right now i have intake and exhaust. my paint is in really good condition and so is the body of the car; it's been garaged for many years

Invest in upgrading the rubber brake lines to stainless steel, going larger brakes, upgrading the suspension (bushings included).

ok i'll get some pictures up soon.
as for suspension my parents don't want me lowering my car since right now they only want it to be a dd and don't wanna pay for any scraping i might do lol

i will do so perhaps when i'm off to college.

i'm thinking about getting some ebay 4-2-1 headers. i've heard for their price they're actually pretty good!

Get an alarm if you're going to be dumping money into it. Honda's are thief magnets.

+1 on that.. but dont just get an alarm.. One of the best things you can do to stop your car from getting jacked is put a clutch lock on it.. one of the good ones.. they will basically have to tow your car if they want it.. It happens, but not very likely, especially considering you said that its not super modded.. they will see the lock, maybe even bust in trying to take it, but they wont get anywhere.. worst case, you are missing your stereo and have a busted door lock.. :D

I'm going to assume you're still running the factory D-Series motor. Honestly, don't even waste money on (basic) bolt-ons because the conclusion is that it won't be any faster (just for looks/sound). What is your ultimate goal for your car?
