...I have a 2002 4dr Civic (Silver). The changes I've made so far were projection headlights (chrome background), altezza tail-lights (chrome background), foglights (which look stupid right now cuz the lens' cracked), silver dash kit, silver kenwood mp3 player, 35 tints, factory spoiler...basically all cosmetic ish. I'm not gonna rice it up performance-wise, cuz I dont know how long I'll keep this til I get a real car. My next few moves are rims, grilles, and clear side-markers.

The rims I was lookin at are 17x7 Giovanna (G-Racing)...either the 'Niko' or 'Saporro'. I kinda like the design on the Saporros, but I dont know if hyperblack rims would look nicer than the Nikos (hypersilver) on a silver car.

Also, what are the best-looking and easiest to install mesh grilles. I want the upper grille, and the lower (between the foglights) grille.

Since my model civic didnt come with side markers, I guess you have to cut a hole in the body to run the wires through for the blinker? Dont laugh if thats a stupid question, didnt really look into it yet.

I'm not laughing cause that is how you install a side marker. just make sure you do it right the first time, cause that is your only time. I mean come on your putting a hole in your baby be carefull. www.7thgencivic.com has a great DIY section with side marker install. follow that and you will be all set. just post some pics when your done.

to see black rims on a silver civic, you can check out my ride:

i think silver, gunmetal and black all look good on a silver car...i might go with silver though if i were you, since you have a chrome thing going on the exterior already...good luck

You're condridicting yourself. Rice is the bullshit you already have on there, performance parts are non-rice.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

if you don't know if your going to keep the car, then why waste your money on new rims and tires? people do stuff to their cars because they know they are going to keep them. if i had a car, and wasn't sure, i'd leave it bone stock
