i'm bored of my SI

from the prime of my investment in my car, i knew i wanted to concentrate my mods on looks. at the moment, i have no interest in any "go fast" mods. i believe the stock speed is fast enough for me, especially since i don't have much interest in visiting the track any time soon.

i'm very big on keeping things simple and clean, i believe every mod i've purchased backs that up.

i've had the car for alittle over a year now, and its been through nice changes. but now i'm stuck, i have no idea what else i can possibly do to the car (and keep it clean). i've contemplated a carbon fiber hood for a few months but i'm still having mixed feelings about it. i even though about the trunk, wing and hood carbon fiber combo. at times i regret not buying an RSX instead...the aftermarket support is unbelievable. you can't really mix and match lip kits with our cars because nothing looks good other than the HFP.

so whats up guys, throw me some ideas i can try to make happen because my interest in my car is slowly dying.

New wheels every month and turbo is what kept me interested. Having two other project cars help as well.

Yep. new wheels would completely change the look of the car.

I love your rims!! what kind are those? and does the stock TPMS work with them?

I really don't like how our stock taillights looks. But there aren't many after market ones that wont be called ricey.

And personally I think the techno R spoiler looks pretty good on the coupe

Get a quadruple retrofit. A regular retrofit would do as well. Change out your wheels every month. I have a few sets of wheels that I throw on the car when I get bored. It changes the look enough to keep me entertained. If not, acquire MORE wheels. You can never have enough sets of wheels.

The last solution would be to trade the car in for something that can fit CRAZY wheel sizes, which is what I'm doing. You can only go so aggressive regarding wheel sizes on a Civic.

This is definitely a biased opinion coming from a confirmed wheel whore.
