Default Civic Coupe 2006 LX. Suggestions PLEASE

Are the splash guards a good idea?
Just noticed that my flasher bulbs are not in the headlights? Easy way to install?
What size rims and tires will fit best without disrupting performace?
What rotors will be best?
What brakes are the best and reasonably priced?

I added SI speakers to my coupe LX.

Any suggestions for a nice and reasonably priced turbo kit?

Are non-stock foglights good? look link. Ebay

My mirror was hit several days ago, I am having a new one installed. They scraped my fender though. Paint or buff?

Depends if you know how to use your brain.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">What size rims and tires will fit best without disrupting performace?</TD></TR></TABLE>

14-15"

Stock... Don't go cheap on brakes.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">What brakes are the best and reasonably priced?</TD></TR></TABLE>

Ebay made in China crap if you want to go cheap on something as important as brakes. If you want quality get Brembo or Stoptech if they make it for the FG1.

dont' waste your money.

Just noticed that my flasher bulbs are not in the headlights? Easy way to install?
what are you talking about? the sockets to the bulbs are actually pretty hard to reach compare to the older models since there isn't much clearance.

What size rims and tires will fit best without disrupting performace?
16's. as for tires, its up to your preference. you can read the reviews on tirerack.com

What rotors will be best?
like everyone else said, stock.

What brakes are the best and reasonably priced?
whatever kragen has instock.

I added SI speakers to my coupe LX.
that's good to know

Any suggestions for a nice and reasonably priced turbo kit?
turbo kit for your LX?

Are non-stock foglights good? look link. Ebay
don't waste your money.

if it's nothing serious, then just buff it out.

why add si spekers. seems like a waste of money. go get good speakers and put them inmeaning aftermarket. 90% of speakers put in cars are paper cone and crap. i hate the stereo in the si it sounds like ***. i can get those speakers for 5 bucks and i probably paid 500 for the "upgrade"

Well SI speakers cause they were free. Splash guards 35 bucks new.

These headlights were new from Honda, but i just noticed that the flasher bulbs are missing. Sockets are there, just the bulbs.

Not neccesarily turbo, but upgrades.

Honda Foglights are 250$, so these China fog lights suck?

...And if you use the Search function, you can see that most of your simple questions have been answered with *GASP* real answers.

It's called research, do it yourself and actually learn more.

The thing is is we've all already given REAL answers to all of your questions before. Everybody is asking that you search to find those answers... the simple reason why is that nobody likes repeating themselves

I think it's a little arrogant to believe that for some reason you're better than the rest of us and shouldn't have to use the search function.. alot of guys here do know what's good for these cars, but they shouldn't have to repeat themselves everytime somebody comes in and wants some instant gratification.. just thought I'd let you know why you were getting flamed

well for an lx:

everybody seems to like the injen CAI
magnaflow exhaust
megan/corsport downpipe
eibach, h&r springs, or HFP suspension
don't sweat the brakes
stick to 16's or 17's on the wheels
don't buy cheap ebay crap.. get oem fog lights

if you wanna know more, then kick back and relax.. make yourself a drink.. and start sifting through all of the posts here... there really is a lot of good info, it just takes a little patience and the search function...

take it easy dude
