Default Cheap Eg Mod?

What mods would you suggest for an VX Eg hatch cosmetic/engine/interior that I could get for under 90 bucks that would give me the most bang for my buck? Im just looking for something for my civic to make it look better//perform better.

Thanks

$90 Come on man.... you cant get anything for that. ok well if thats all you got then this is what i would think about, a mugen type lip its like $80, you could upgrade your headlight bulbs so you have better visibility at night, jdm corners, or some really cool stickers that say "powerd by Honda" i heard it gives you like 10hp. or some APC stuff thats always a good route.

wow i didn't even look at the OP all the way
come on man $90
there is only one thing that you can do and that is save it till you have more... a lot more.
try your best to get to 4 digits
that way you can improve your car and still save a little in the bank for when it breaks down.

LOL for the love of god tell me that you were just kidding!!!!!!!!!

it does something called hydro locking and it will give you about a %40-%50 HP increase across the board

wow.. alotta shitty advise. awesome thread!! not alot you can do w/ 90.00 and an VX hatch. i would suggest maybe a used short ram and a good filter. at least if you do a swap you can swap it over. weight reduction will work. just universal mods.. that will carry over to whatever you may want to do later is the best advise i could give

Well what do you have on there now? Is it completely stock?

Buy a cheap header and a short bore intake.

Buy 'em both for ebay, you're driving a stock VX, it doesn't matter.

For $90, I would find a stock exhaust system and some stock springs.
