Default 96 civic EX coupe

Okay, so yall have seen this thread many times before. I'm trying to figre out what i'm going to do with my car. It is an AT but that isn't changing due to my problem with shifting after a long night at the bars. I am just trying to get some small cosmetic changes to my car. Possibly even move myself from stock I/H/E to something a little more attractive. Looked at DEPO clear corner fogs and such, but I really would like some input though. Please nothing ricy.

These are soon to be my new headlights(as ricy as it's going to get.)

Those lights are horrid. Look at depo OE replacement healights. No amber corners and they fit real well. Then invest into a nice HID setup, not a p-n-p ebay kit either. As for the motor. If you want to put down any real power you need to drop the AT. Its not made to handle alot of power. If you just want to make it look/sound/and perform a little better, CAI, Dc Headers, 2 1/4 piping, high flow cat, Nice big resonator and a vibrant muffler.

^Agreed about the lights. You'll more than likely get worse light output with those and they'll more than likely leak.

true story on the lights but they are the only hi/low-beam projectors for the 96 civic i've found. If yall know of another brand, all input would be appreciated. I'm not looking for any power increases. I'm not swapping or boosting anything. 126-131 hp is fine with me. IMO pushing $1,000s into a car that is annually depreciating doesn't make much sense. I love the car though, and I will drive it till the pistons crumble to dust.
