Nothing much, more so because it's an automatic. It'd be pointless to have a turbo in an auto. Just get a short ram intake and save up for something a little faster later.
And get some hubcaps at least, lol.

Re: question for my automatic 97 civc ex?
thanks!
right now i want to maybe do the OEM front end. with the fog lights on the side of the bumper.
i do and dont care if its stick or not.
does it matter if its a auto
cuz i wanna make it look clean
maybe just just put on handling parts.

Honda automatic trannies are pretty weak, they don't stand up well to boost at all, and on top of that its still going to be slow. Considering the relatively minor amount of work involved in an auto to manual swap i'd do that drop in a Z6/Y8 tranny.

Get a 5 speed and change to lightweight flywheel and step up the clutch that should make a world of diffrence. High flow cat and muffler with the cold air intake is the cheapest way to to go with out the tranny swap.
