Cheap to free way to make your car look better
But then I grew up and bought some real suspension.
You could take a sledge hammer to it and take out your frustrations while adding "flair" to your car as well. It will get plenty of attention and make you feel better at the same time. Win - win situation and it is free minus the cost of the sledge.
im kinda bored so...
despite what some of the haters on this site will tell you. cutting a coil or 2 from your springs will lower it a bit without sacrificing too much ride quality
or look on ebay for some cheap coilovers or lowering springs
clay bar and wax.
remove intake resonator(not so much for looks but helps the flow of your intake)
or grab some spare materials and make your own intake(iv seen it done it looks pretty nice)
go to the junkyard and look for:
-decent set of wheels from a VW or somthing that are the same lug pattern as your car. (the other day i found a set of bbs meshies for $80 with decent tires)
-shift *****
-spare valve covers
-a lot of stuff from the 92-95 civics will work with your car
-side markers
install brighter cluster lights
paint or polish your stock muffler
paint or polish your valve cover and header heat shield.
convert your high beams into driving lights
open up your headlights and paint the housing black like the jdm integra type R's(just be patient cuz this one is easy to fukc up on)
theres a lot of crap you can do for free or really cheap, just dont expect too much

the asshats are the ones that always have something dumb to say too.. ohh look at that im an asshat because i really did not contribute to this thread in anyway except state the obvious!!
I was having a discussion with someone the other day about the great priveledges about owning a civic. You could buy good used/new parts for CHEAP. If you can't hook up a civic, then you shouldn't own one. (not taking a shot at you, just stating the obvious). You could check the buy/sell forums and you could find almost everything for your car for a fair price. Good luck to you man.
dmpd ef made a great post. All of those things he listed would be free or very cheap. All would be needed is some time and elbow grease.
1. Wash your Car
2. Grab a tripod and camera.
3. Find a parking space.
4. Reverse into your choosen parking space.
5. Take a picture and post it on Honda-Tech

so when someone says something that you dont like, its "dumb"? dumb is someone who gets angry on a car forum over something that someone typed, and subsequently posts an incoherent rambling, like you just did, complete with exclamation points.
This thread is a fine example of the crap that has been posted in this section since the changeover and a lot of the quality members leaving.....
i swear you ppl bitching about the changeover make me laugh yet concerned for society here in this country. seriously do you not have any real friends you can go hang out with since HT is so lame now??? bcuz if you did you wouldnt be so concerned about somthing like this...im not.
