if your doin looks, cut out the h4 conversion, but some diamond back lights off of ebay (like $30 somethin) then paint your interior (around $5 per can of paint [use only plastikote vinyl spray paint] i got primer for $2 though) or you could give me the money and you can have the satisfaction of knowing you helped someone fix up their car :D:D:D:D lol

These: Click Me! (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1498&item=1389984185&rd=1) They allow you to use h4 bulbs (instead of the old sealed beams, which aren't as bright), and look really nice.

I've always thought black or Civic Si blue would look really good.

I'm currently painting my car all white (bumpers, mouldings, shaving emblems, etc.), and I really like that look. But a dark silver would look sweet on our cars too.

Sure you could do all those things listed above but then youd be missing out on all the sound quality you would ever need. :D http://www.bostonacoustics.com/ProductsPage.asp?ProductID=219&SpecID=4&SeriesID=54

get a body kit and paint it, it makes the car look a lot better, you can get a 4th gen kit for like 450
