Hey what's up guys, I'm Braiton. I just got a '19 Aegean Blue Civic SI and I love it so far. But..... I'm super new to modifying cars.. in all aspects.
There is so much to know.
I used to always ride with my neighbors back in the day when they had super nice cars, and growing up watching racing movies, etc. I've always wanted to do this stuff but I now have the opportunity.
I want to make my car stand out to people who enjoy cars. I want it to drive, look, and sound beautifully. Sound pertaining to the car and also to the audio system (which I think is pretty trash at the stock).
I'm looking for a push in the right direction, tips and tricks to get parts at good cost, recommendations for the list of things below, and just to introduce myself to you all.
Here's some pictures of the car so I can give you something to look at other than text haha.

That's a quick list that I could think of but please tell me your journey and where I should start. Any and all information is helpful and appreciated.
- How can I make the audio sound better?
- Quick, easy bolt on mechanical mods that you recommend to give me some more horse power and possibly make my engine bay look tight.
- Weighted shift knob, short shifter, where to buy acuity because their site is sold out?
- Carbon fiber hood
- LED/HID headlights, or great website links to find good ones.
- Front lip, side skirts, back lip (if that's what it's called).
- Lowering my vehicle. How can I do that? I do not know what that entails. From reading forums and listening to friends throughout the years I think it's done by like coils and lowering springs or something?
- Wheels and tires. I am looking to do white wheels to contrast the blue, but I have no idea how to start going after wheels. I don't know what any of the sizes mean. Offset, wheel width, etc. I don't want to lower my car, then have wheels or tires that don't fit. And I would love to know how I can make them stick out further, bushings?
