depends on what youd like to use it as
Show car
Daily
auto X
Drag daily
Etc....

there are many options but just to get an idea of what you should do there is the whol what you would be doing with the car that i would suggest figureing out....

for example if auto cross
id suggest suspension work

for drag
id suggest saving for an engine

and yea if it was my carid be using it for fast driving around corners and what not auto cross etc
thusly id start with suspension and slowly work my way to the engine and on the way maybe incorporate some nice accessories

but its really all what you are going to use it as id say figure that out report back and we will help out and throw out some suggestions

but either way you have a really nice base :thumb:

But it's all about your personal preference (cosmetic, performance, or both), just don't rice it out. Browse around the pics section to get ideas: rims, lips, etc.

my advice to you, would be to take things one step at a time and start out with simple things.

getting a nice shift boot and shift knob is a great start for someone starting to modify a car. doing random small things like that gets you used to taking off parts and whatnot. as you get more and more experience, you can start doing more things, like getting a new sound system and wiring it up yourself.

if you're brand new to all of this, i wouldnt worry about any engine mods for awhile. suspension work isn't hard at all either..... i would just start with interior stuff, since it all goes together pretty easily.

new wheels and tires are always nice, but your stock hubcaps do look nice on a clean daily driver.

overall, you have a base that a lot of people look for. you can mod this whole entire car if you want, or you can keep it simple and clean.

I agree.

I would get some 15-16 inch rims and lower it, maybe tint the windows too. By the time you did those things youd probably have a better idea of what you wanted.

Just dont mess up that clean body :thumb:

I would always say black silver over gold. But a lot of people like gold, im just not one of them.

Turbo
Stereo
Integra front seats
Wheels
Rear Swaybar

Honestly, the closer you stay to stock, the happier you'll be. Especially when you start off with one as clean as that.
