What should I do?
This is my 1996 Honda Civic hatchback. I just got it, so it already came like this. I want to make it my own. Besides a different paintjob, what else should i do to it? And, do you have any ideas, of what color it should be? If you have any suggestions please tell me.

take out the rear lights. Take off the body kit and get another one or put an oem one. Engine swap 
and maybe a nice carbon fiber hood

Depends on if you want to keep it noticeable like that or go stealth. I don't like any extra attention drawn towards me, you should see my car.

Take off those horrible tail light covers, take off the body kit. Buy a new front/rear bumper and paint the whole car one color and you're set.

You honnestly could do anything and it would be better. You could take a dump on the roof, and I'd like it that much more 
As far as colors, look into some ford/dodge/nissan/jeep suv colors. They have some of the nicest muted greens and slate blues. Pimpin.

I think you should have it painted the stock color, that way you don't have a mis-matched body, engine bay, and door jams.
As for what you should do to it. Take a look at some pictures on this page, and decide what you like. Don't rush into anything or you'll just wind up spending more money.

well like everyone said...as for now...just keep that motor...lets start de-ricing your ride first...well exterior wise...take the entire body kit off...i mean front/rear bumper, side skirts, keep the hood you can always paint over it..., rims could stay depending on you but i dont like them at all, the taillights need to go also...after all this might as well do a 99-00 conversion with the 99-00 oem/jdm fogs on her...she would be a beauty...get the stock side skirts and rear bumper with the 99-00 tail lights(all read tails)...once your done with things get some nice rims with good tires and paint that bitch...if you listen to every thing i just mentioned...your car will be so clean your **** yourself haha....good luck bro...

buy them.
check out local junkyards or buy them on ebay/here/other forums.
while youre looking at stock front/rear bumpers, find some stock sideskirts and tail lights too.
unless you like them the way they are now.
