I don't have many mods but it's probably my PRL CAI. Only because I can hear the turbo so much more now.

Cosmetic mods for me, I gotta say. This weekend I will replace the weak horn and install the Morimoto xB LED fog. Wheel spacers, Si rear sway bar, duckbill, and Eibach springs are next. Ktuner is at the end of my list due to financial reason lol

I don't think I've seen people asked before, is the Type R steering wheel smaller in diameter?

The thickness is better than the regular so I think its diameter is also bigger than the regular for sure. Maybe it's the optical solution that tricks your eyes to think the ctr wheel is smaller than the regular one.

They do look very close in the picture, so even if there's a difference in diameter, it's probably not noticeable. But the thicker grip part :p that's what I want

Me too! I wouldn't say night and day difference, but I'm pretty pleased. My "cheap econobox commuter" is turning out to be the surprise win of the year.
Correction: ITS NOT A CHEAP-ECO-BOX. ITS A SEXY ECO VEHICLE

For the lowest level tune do you have to change any internals? Or is it just a flash? (noob here)
You can just go with stock components with any of the base Ktuner tunes. Just fill 'er up with the highest octane you can get in your area and zoom zoom.

And don't laugh when I tell you Lloyd Ultimats are my #3 favorite. They are like something out of a German luxury car compared to the garbage "carpeted" mats Honda gives us.
What color lloyd mat is the best color match for the dark Honda carpet? I have an SI not sure if it is the same as EXL or other grades...

I haven't done any performance mods yet and probably will hold off until after the warranty has expired so my favorites are somewhat boring by comparison:
1. 5% AutoBahn Ceramic i3 tint on side and back windows + 55% infra-red tint on the windshield really helps with the Las Vegas summer heat, especially since there is no room in the garage for my car

2. Kust Magnetic Phone Holder - hands down the cleanest setup I have seen for a vehicle (I have used RAM mounts on my other vehicles) and its solid enough to hold my iPhone 6s on the bumpiest of roads without movement https://www.amazon.com/Holder-Magnetic-Stander-Samsung-Smartphone/dp/B072ZZKZX6

3. 3D MAXpider floor mats - love these!! They are easy to clean and provide nice high wall protection. My only complaint is that they don't have a cargo tray for the Civic Si Coupe.

4. Corso Motion Interior LED Kit - I have to drive in the dark a lot so I don't like my night vision ruined when I open the doors and get that harsh white light. I installed the red Honda Civic 10th gen custom LED interior kit (6000K white for the trunk) not only does it look great but it saves my night vision for more important things like the road ahead.

I've done other things (paint protection film, tail light tint, vinyl door entry guards, etc.) but the aforementioned are my favorites so far because they are so useful

I went with "graphite" and it looks close. But, your Si interior might be darker.
