Default 1st time honda owner...want advice to make it HOT!

I just got a 2002 honda civic ex...white, 2 door, sunroof...it rocks
I used to have a 1990 RS camaro...and it basically died, or close there to...you might remember me as 'tabias'sgirlfriend' or ' getrdonelikewhoa'
I have always loved hondas, but what should I do as far as appearance to make it really hot, without changing the color? tint, rims, lights....?

Definitely do that (tint,lower,lip) and maybe some nice tires like Toyos Proxes 4. But when you lower it I'd recommend full suspension.. Teins make great kits... Congrats, on your new car and have fun...

i have a 4 dr LX, got it tinted (dunno about your laws, im in FL and its illegal but i haven't been stoped yet, so i dont care) about 4 months ago, 15% all around, and a very low front strip at 5% (im a 5'11 and when i set in there the tint reaches the bottom of my rearview mirror)

Makes the car look so much better (mines white too) and the contrast just, uhm, well, its nice. also a lot cooler (don't get burnt arms, and dont need to keep AC on, just turn it on for like 10 mins, keep it off for 5)

drop it like it's hawwwt!!

then get some rims

there are also a bunch of DIY things you can do at home for cheap that'll make a difference. look around, have fun, and keep it safe

a drop, rims, and tint will look nice.

OEM style lip kits are an optional cosmestic addition.
