I would recomend the basic boltons... Intake(prefiably cold air intake), exhaust and headers. This will help the breathing of your car. These are the basic starting point...
I would also recomend fixing the suspension, springs and shocks. I would recomend Neuspeed Race, great springs and Koni yellow's the best shock.
Body kits, Wings west makes some sweet kits, but it is up to you. You should check out some of them on the net.

I agree with DevoTek, you do want might want to make the civic more powerful first then upgrade the body.
However, if you are interested in changing the cars looks.....Wings West, or just get yourself a NOPI catalog....or some Mags, Sport Compact Car, Super Street, Import Tuner (this one is the one you would like...all looks), Honda Tuning.....OR find all of there websites at http://www.gr8ride.com but, the websites suck.

I would go with suspension first before anything. You have enough power in your honda, now you have to be able to handle that power. Coilover/Shock combo is what you should be saving up for. It was definitely my very first mod on my hatch. On the subject of body kits, go with wings west because their kits fit the best. One last thing, get polyurethane as opposed to fiberglass for the simple fact that rubber is not as fragile as glass.

If you are looking for body kits, I would suggest going to http://www.asylumms.com...
I would NEVER suggest buying from that site, but you can see a good list of what body kits are available.. another site for kits would be http://www.importfan.com ....

Try Auto Body Plus for the painting and installing. 550 Crain Highway unit 20 410-760-1174 I've seen his custom work. Nice.Just order whatever kit you want online. It's a bunch of rip off artist around here. And make that boy go fast and handle like a bimmer.

yo dude, where in maryland are u?
I'm down in VA near tysons corner, but there are so many shops in the DC area you would not believe.. some better than others
i also have a 98 civic ex coupe. i would echo the advice to start with the suspension. i run eibach prokits and tokico shocks with a suspension tech rear sway. it made the biggest difference in the world! then came the turbo
