Default what are some cheap fun mods to do?

i already have red gauge cluster, exhaust and antenna switch. anyone have any ideas? i don't want intake or header because those cost too much for the value you recieve, plus if i ever go turbo it is just wasted money. oh yeah, no "ricer stuff" please. it needs to be suttle. like the antenna switch, you cant even see mine.

first, define your definition of "not expensive"

apc fire extinguisher
floor mats
speakers
neons
get a tune up (not cheap but will make a huge difference)
lug nuts (muteki, etc)
front lip
all red tail lights
cd player
JDM air freshener
car wash, wax, cleaning products

The only "fun mods" are ones that improve performance in my opinion.. I don't care if my antenna goes up and down with a switch. sounds like more of a waste of money than buying intake or a header and then deciding to turbo it later.

Buy an Ebay intake. It's cheap, it might add a tiny amount of performance, and the sound makes driving around a little more fun.

I don't think it added any power, says the butt dyno, but the $20 Ebay intake was some of the best money I spent on my DA, second only to the Fidanza flywheel.

Yeah you can get the cheap intake on ebay with a good filter like K&N or whatever for pretty cheap. and it does sound good.

the best bang for your buck is the ITR sway bar. no other mod will make as big of differnce on your car for what it costs....

I don't think you took into consideration the antenna up/down switch when you made your suggestion.

well I heard that the antenna switch adds ten horsepower. And also when you are driving really really fast if you put it down you can reduce your wind resistance...

ha ha yeah I was joking.

hahaha or when you need some serious down force, you can flip up your illuminated switch (that has a nos sticker over it) and pop the antenna right back up

minus a few of my ideas (the fire extinguisher and the neons) tell me what ideas are "retarded"

i am assuming you have an auto (from your signature) so i would not even waster my money on on a $15 ebay intake or $150 ebay header. and i sure as hell would not go turbo. the only modifications i would consider would be suspenison work, and then an auto-manual swap if you want to modify the car.

so please, entertain me as to how some nice OEM integra floor mats, or a new cd player, or a tune up, front lip, or the all red tails are "retarded" ideas.

Uhhh what are your interests? Performance or looks? or what? It seems more like looks but I could be wrong.

for all you who are dissing my antenna switch, i installed it because in the winter my antenna freezes up with the ice it has collected, and i don't want to burn out the motor or screw up the antenna when it freezes but i would still like to listen to cds so there you go. the switch looks like this i would also prefer no body parts or things that have no purpose at all except looks.
