Default Giving my LX a makeover, suggestions?

Hey everybody,
I am new to the forum as well as hondas. I am looking to give my LX a makeover, with a new front end, thinking of going SI front bumper with all the inserts, will this just bolt on? Also will be getting a new and improved stance. I have been reading up on what people have been writing about, and thinking of going with the Buddy Club N+ setup because this is my daily and I want it to be as comfortable of a ride as possible. Along with the new stance, getting a new wheel and tire setup up with CCW classics. Any other suggestions are appreciated, not really looking for performance mods because I already have that project in the garage, just cosmetics for this vehicle.
Thanks,
Justin

Is this a good SI grille insert to use?

Search HondaMarket place, there you might find some treasure for bargain prices. Oh, and get light rims. They'll pay for themselves within a few years on gas mileage.

Why not leave your daily driver alone and focus your extra cash on paying it off early or investing this money into mutual funds? www.daveramsey.com/fpu

Come back and say WTF when you are within 10 years of your retirement, up to your eyeballs in debt, no pot to **** in and wonder if your government is going to catch your back.

I gave sound advice on what the creator of this post should do. Financing cars is a 100% mistake, modifying a car that is your daily driver AND financed is even more foolish.

^^ What's your view on financing a car to gain some credit? Some people can live a lifestyle where they can mod their cars while making payments. Why they do it is unknown to me as it makes no sense on buying luxury items on something you have debt on.

Stop being a downer, trying to promote your ideas. But everyone to their own opinion.

I didn;t know that advising someone on how to be a millionaire in as little as 15 years is being a downer. Yikes!

Financing a car is one of the worst and expensive ways to build credit, you shouldn't be trying to build your credit anyway. As golowdrew stated, lets keep it on topic.

My opinion on answering the OP's question is if he HAS to mod this financed car stick with sportline eighbachs, 225/40-45/17 wheel tire combo and nice axleback exhaust with a cold air intake.
