2018 civic hatchback sport.
Country flag
When I bought my civic, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. i got it because it was good on gas and looked nice. But I have never been a car guy.

over the last 7 months, I have absolutely fallen in love with it and hope to get a type r in a few years.

but for now, I want my car to sound nice and take off fast. But I have zero idea what I should do. This car has awoken a side of me I never knew was there

Because it’s not an R is it dumb to modify it?

If you don't have a warranty i suggest tuning first. I haven't done it myself but I've heard great things by many people including gtman saying how its a good first step into modding and in my eyes it looks very simple, well ktuner atleast.

Just don't go putting the max tune on right off the bat. Also a PRL or 27WON downpipe.

I don't think mods on a non-R are dumb at all!

My opinion - tasteful cosmetic / performance mods. No neon lights, no exterior Tyler parts. I go for more of the "OEM+" style. Mild lowering, subtle wheel spacers, PRL intake, 27won exhaust, ktuner, shifter bushings/spring/knob.

Just keep it clean and do to it what makes you happy. :)
