You definitely want to invest in some security before you start modding (causes a lot more attention), depending if you have a garage or not.

Any reputable websites JDM or other... It seems every time i hit google up, everything that pops up is ebay (especially lighting) I have nothing against ebay. I would prefer spending more for something a little more unique or higher quality. This is also my daily driver and im finding that the transmission being JDM and geared the way it is (very high rpm about 3400 at 65-70) Gas mileage isn't the best about 26mpg. Any transmission suggestions that would give me some better gear ratios and better MPG without sacrificing performance. I'm told the integra Ls trans is a beast??

You can add a ls 5th gear too your b16trans

And either ditch the hood pins or order some new ones
