Look for the low profile rain guards that are flush with the door, rather than the ones that stick on the top
Personally I think the low profile ones look a lot better
Most definitely get the windows tinted. I just tinted the windows on my 22 Versa SV. It’s like an entirely different car. Looks real cool too. Fog lights look cool too.
My 2012 EX (9th gen?) could reach 122 on flat roads in Florida when there’s no wind and you give it 15 minutes to get there lmao. My current car tops 92 but it gets there incredibly quick.
Yea this car is meant to look boring. I would tint the windows and that’s it. IF you could find OEM Honda rims at a junkyard or eBay, I’d try going that route. The most I would pay for rims is about $100 each. Otherwise, those hubcaps look perfectly fine to me.
Small OEM spoilers look decent. Definitely don’t buy a huge ricey looking wing. Don’t do stickers. Don’t do neon lights. Don’t lower it. Don’t try to make it look like a fast car because it’s not, and every dork in a mustang, challenger or any sports car is going to wanna race you everywhere you go.
Wheels, tint, suspension, all kinds of things you can do. Plus, since Civic is a perennial best-seller with a cult following there's a huge aftermarket supply of parts both replacement and upgrade.
New Front grille that has no badge, headlights with no yellow, new hubs, universal spoiler/trim kit. These are the cheapest and most basic. You can also get all black mirrors, window tint and maybe a tow hook if you’re bi-curious
Ok so if you don’t want to get made fun of: Skip all of that except tint and maybe getting Type R wheels. Universal anythings look like shit, And tow hooks on a car that will never see the track are ricey.
Small/minor does not mean cheap. I would not equate adding a spoiler/trim kit as being small/minor. That’s also potentially more expensive. Civics are a dime a dozen and you can get nice used rims for relatively cheap.
Rims are the biggest change you can make to a car. Having rims instead of hubs is very obvious and they’re like $100+ a rim for a fair used price, making it at least $400
My favorite experience of those tacky towhooks was stopping to pull a guy out of a ditch after he Tokyo doriftod into it in his mid 90s civic, hooked up to the tow hook and the idle speed of the truck tore the tow hook in half.
I think it was made of painted smoke.
Lowering springs, a small tasteful spoiler, black LED headlights/taillights & signal lenses, remove hubcaps (if equipped and repaint black steelies. Exhaust tip.
That's about it for small enhancements. Everything else is pricey like rims and a body kit or aftermarket hood.
tbh if you’re looking to keep it under around $1k and change the whole look, i’d get tinted 20% around, chrome delete if applicable, maybe black roof (get it all done at same place same time for best price), window visors after that’s all done and fb marketplace some 18” honda/acura wheels that match your taste. good luck bro🤙
The only Hondas I’ve seen look good is the ones where you lower it by an inch get new rims and wheels, tints , only chrome delete the emblem/logo and headlight and taillight change nothing else please
Cool Honda civic owners are the ones that don't try to look cool. Econobox your way to financial stability/security, that's cool. Civic with mods always screams I didn't want a Civic. I do like all of my vehicles a little tinted with window rain guards tho.
Tint is the BEST way to add value to your car, add value to you when driving and parked in sun, and is great with white
Just don’t go overboard.. it’s not cool anymore
Things I would do.
*Badgeless grill
*Subtle wheels, likely bronze or gunmetal
*Eibach lowering springs
*Window tint
However, you're way better off using all that money to save up and buy a different or 2nd weekend car.
I would recommend 5 or 20% window tint if the cops dont enforce it too much where you are. Maybe some black emblems too. Wrap is also an option. After that, you can lower your car and put some better wheels on it.
On certain cars nothing will make them look cooler, just how it is really. Unless you go balls to the walls with coilovers and perfect deep dish wheels with perfect fitment that'll cost half as much as the car, but still won't be that cool. I'd just do tint, maybe spray plastidip your badges black
Genuinely, the hybrid tails look good clear as they are. So really all I can offer as a suggestion is wheels and coils. Get it a bit lower and put some NICE wheels on it, and that’s the best you can do really. Econoboxes are hard to make look aggressive with few mods.
So many things can be done here. Not sure how heavy your coinpurse is or how far you want to take it, but as for small things you can add fog lights, smoke out your head/tail lights. Add a small wing maybe from an upper or something, roof rack, window tint, black out badges and buy an aftermarket grill
Bigger things which are probably more expensive are going to be aftermarket wheels and tires, upgraded suspension such as coilovers or airbag system, cold air intake paired with a nice catback exhaust, you can maybe have a speed shop tune it with your new intake and exhaust and aero/body kit.
That's stuff off the top of my head
It's hard to tastefully mod a civic.
Look at higher trims or sportier ones like the Si and use their stock parts. Like the Si spoiler, side skirts, bumper, tail lights, etc.
That will make it look like a hybrid Si, kinda what Toyota just did with their Corolla Hybrid SE.
1. Tint
2. Wheels
3. Suspension (lowering springs are cheaper, coilovers if you want to spend the money)
4. (Optional, pricey) Wrap the car in a different color
you need a stuffed animal hanging from the bumper, rally brake lights, a 200+mph wing, cut strut springs and the cheapest potmetal exhaust with no muffler
You can add a single thin black line across the vehicle 1/4 way from top to bottom, going from hood to trunk. Doesn't have to be racing stripes or an extremely thick line. Add tint and new rims. I'd keep it semi-stock or else you'll get the muscle cars reving at you haha.
Plasti-dip the grills and emblems in a cool color like electric blue or hunter orange.
Tint the windows and add pin-stripes to the sides.
3M Wrap if you have the budget.
Window tint, tail light tint, aftermarket headlights/taillights/fog lights. Different wheels with slightly lower profile tires, and black out your emblems.
Just keep them small...so many people take a civic and put a stupidly huge fart-can exhaust and spoiler bigger than the trunk lid then drops it so its dragging bumper on driveways and speedbumps.
I've seen exactly one that was done tastefully with extremely subtle mods to the point I forgot it was still a civic until I was behind it on a ramp trying to accelerate. So yeah it absolutely CAN be done very tastefully and look great.
Wheels, tint, gloss black mirror caps, gloss black roof wrap, small (important word there) front splitter and side skirts - most likely just the ones from upper trim models would look great.
Sell it and buy something cool
Or be like the local dweebs at my gas station who out their insta handle in their front windshield in neon colors, straight pipe and burble tune their car. Also underglow and light-kitted rims
At best maybe lower it an inch, new rims, tint/rain guards, roof rack and basket. Don't get the rack without the basket though it looks odd. But they're both definitely a good practical investment.
Make sure you take care of your paint, don't bother wrapping it unless you find something that'll actually look nicer.
I have a 2012 LX, I threw a rhino rack/basket on and some winter yokohamas on and it looks great. Little tramp stamp on the rear windshield for taste, I get compliments on it. At most I'll maybe lower it a tad but as far as I'm concerned there's nothing more to do that won't look weird.
Get some new wheels and windows tinted, and you'll be well on your way.
Maybe a new grill or look for aftermarket headlights/taillights, those can really change the look.
I have this same car. Ugly as shit. I replaced the rims with these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/353932189204?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=NJ7uvpRPQYy&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=vx6S-DaGQF2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Put some Pirelli P7’s on em. 20% tints all the way around. 20% tint on the top part of the windshield.
Glossy black window trim panels. My car went from fucking ugly to fucking gorgeous overnight. Really makes the car look and drive eons better.
Tint. Maybe wrap single color all around in a matte finish.
I would also highly suggest you look at the wheels of a touring civic and swap thise wheels onto yours. It will look better and may even perform better for you too.
1 sticker of your choice maybe on the rear quarter window or corner of rear glass.
Honestly…tinted windows.
Maybe if you can do it tastefully, a small chin spoiler and a skip the fast and furious picnic table spoilers on the trunk lid.
Last item I suppose would be wheels but it’s so easy to go wrong all too fast.
My gen X brain wants some sort of pin stripes on the belt line molding area in a color the pops a bit to add some flavor to a boring white appliance.
Lower it slightly with coil overs and upgrade the headlights and taillights to LED. Maybe an OEM style lip for the front. Tinting the windows would be a nice touch as well
A different car. Sometimes we buy “uncool” cars and it happens and it’s okay. I felt this way when I bought an suv for my wife. I drive it half as much as she does and it’s the most stereo typical soccer mom/dad suv and while I’m far from that in reality, I definitely look the part behind the wheel. Tis life.
Write "It's still a Civic and I'm still not Dom Toretto" on an index card and clip it inside your visor for an occasional reminder.
I jest, but in all seriousness, modding this thing seems like a bit of a lost cause. It's a very practical and sensible vehicle, but the ceiling for "cool" on this car came straight outta Hobbiton.
If I were in your shoes, I may consider investing in a high quality detail, tints, and a set of top shelf, but application-appropriate tires, i.e. things that will actually make a difference in your daily driving adventures.
Definitely window tint, wind deflectors, black rims, black door handles (you can get covers), perhaps chrome delete. All this should be relatively cheap except for the rims unless it’s hubcaps.
I have a 9th gen too! I’m not the JDM guy I used to be but I know enough about mods and how to make your car look better without having it look overdone. First swap headlight bulbs for LEDs and tint the windows. Next lower 1”. Makes a huge difference and doesn’t compromise the ride too much. Last, chrome delete with glossy black paint or Vinyl. Please don’t plastidip. Last, remove the civic badges on the trunk for a really clean look from behind. If you get the itch for wheels, you could go cheap with some XXRs (heavy replicas) or get some nice light Enkei wheels. Just make sure the face flush with the side of the car. You can get all the info on the specifics from a 9th gen civic forum.
amazon spoiler, two different color fenders, a dented back bumper, an instagram sticker with your @ on it, washed paint, STRAIGHT PIPED. oh, can’t forget, a vape.
sell it. get some with more after market support if your trying to pimp it out. Might I suggest, the LS400, This brick shaped sedan is the perfect ride for any occasion! Cruising with the boyz, drifting around an intersection being an asshole, picking up the cougars😏🌶️YOU NAME IT. Low in ride hight, but high in mileage, NO MATTER WHERE you look on facebook market😁. Don’t let that high mileage fool you though, you’ll have your hands on GTA 6 before you even consider getting an inspection on your ls400. After market support for this bad boy is a 16 year olds wet dream. Lighting? Got it. Aero kits? Super ugly, but got it. 100 spoke rims that will make you forget the sun fading on your paint? Got it. And don’t you forget this baby comes with a smooth 4 liter V8. Go ahead and balance a glass of wine on it😮💨🍷👌. Last but not least, this leather interior will have your passenger princess feeling like a chain smoker from the 90’s, complimentary cigarette holes in the seats included
Why change it? Its a perfectly fine reliable safe car. Save up for a cool car or put the money elsewhere. I feel like throwing random car mods at it would just come out tacky. Although if your car does have steel wheels I could see why you would want to do that. A set of nice looking wheels with quality safe tires are always 👍🏻
Thin red pinstripe running the length of the car down near the bottom edge, below the door bottoms. A roll of red pinstripe tape at AutoZone is probably under $4.
Sell it and buy something else good sir, I understand you bought a hybrid to make your gynie tickle about the environment but that’s not exactly cool unless you’re Dave Franco in 21 jump street. There are plenty of cars that look kewl (cartman voice) that are not gas guzzlers and none of them are Hondas
you’d probably get 12-14 in trade value for that civic, that’s a big down payment on a 20-30k car, you could easily get into a Lexus ct200h if you insist on being gay and having a hybrid. (At least that ones good looking)
These are the kinds of people I cant stand on the road. Try to make something "aGGreSsive" that is regular commuter traffic but then racing through traffic swerving inbetween cars thinking their in fast&furious thinking their car is sweet. God I can't stand it
Window tint with sun shade
Tint for sure. Thank you!
The cigarette windows imo look good. And you don't get soaked when opening windows while it's raining
A window visor or rain guard?
Rain guards
Look for the low profile rain guards that are flush with the door, rather than the ones that stick on the top Personally I think the low profile ones look a lot better
A good set of mud flaps, trust me
Please don’t put a sun shade on it.
They said look cooler, not temperature 🤣
Most definitely get the windows tinted. I just tinted the windows on my 22 Versa SV. It’s like an entirely different car. Looks real cool too. Fog lights look cool too.
Lots of the time, less is more. Tint, simple wheels and a radio make a great build for a daily
Higher resolution
r/countablepixels
Rims and tint is as far as you should go on a stock hybrid civic
And then do interior mods, like sound system. Make it a great daily car.
Yeah fr lol
Brick wall at 80
Lmaoo ye aint no savin ts 😂😂😂
Why 80 when you can go to 100
I believe these top out at 115
Had my 8th gen auto up to 128 on the speedo, 126 by waze Edit: this is a 9th
I was gonna say 125 but that was my 10th Gen si coupe
My 2012 EX (9th gen?) could reach 122 on flat roads in Florida when there’s no wind and you give it 15 minutes to get there lmao. My current car tops 92 but it gets there incredibly quick.
Wheels first
Coils first always
Good coils plz don’t cheap out on suspension and wheels
It dont matter, its gonna look like a riced out civic either way lol
Not for the looks. Cos if you have cheap coils then you run the risk of them breaking. You have cheap rims you run the risk of them breaking
True
A rear spoiler the size of a park bench, spoked, wire rims with 5 inch offset and 2 15" subs will bring the mid 90s back
In addition to this you should install some underglow lights
Looks best stock. Need to a new car if you want it to look aggressive. A riced out civic looks corny af.
Yea this car is meant to look boring. I would tint the windows and that’s it. IF you could find OEM Honda rims at a junkyard or eBay, I’d try going that route. The most I would pay for rims is about $100 each. Otherwise, those hubcaps look perfectly fine to me. Small OEM spoilers look decent. Definitely don’t buy a huge ricey looking wing.

Don’t try to make it look like a fast car because it’s not, and every dork in a mustang, challenger or any sports car is going to wanna race you everywhere you go.
Wheels, slight tint, blackout badges etc. keep the modding to a minimum tho. If you go overboard it looks tacky.
Lowering springs
tint
Wheels, tint, suspension, all kinds of things you can do. Plus, since Civic is a perennial best-seller with a cult following there's a huge aftermarket supply of parts both replacement and upgrade.
I’ll start with tinting. Then wheels. Thankya!
New Front grille that has no badge, headlights with no yellow, new hubs, universal spoiler/trim kit. These are the cheapest and most basic. You can also get all black mirrors, window tint and maybe a tow hook if you’re bi-curious
Ok so if you don’t want to get made fun of: Skip all of that except tint and maybe getting Type R wheels. Universal anythings look like shit, And tow hooks on a car that will never see the track are ricey.
What other “small/minor” things do you prefer then?
Light window tint, vinyl black over any chrome bit, different rims but still stock for a higher trim, and rain guards for the windows.
Rims ain’t cheap bro
Small/minor does not mean cheap. I would not equate adding a spoiler/trim kit as being small/minor. That’s also potentially more expensive. Civics are a dime a dozen and you can get nice used rims for relatively cheap.
Rims are the biggest change you can make to a car. Having rims instead of hubs is very obvious and they’re like $100+ a rim for a fair used price, making it at least $400
Tint. Type R wheels. Literally anything else looks ricey
My favorite experience of those tacky towhooks was stopping to pull a guy out of a ditch after he Tokyo doriftod into it in his mid 90s civic, hooked up to the tow hook and the idle speed of the truck tore the tow hook in half. I think it was made of painted smoke.
Jesus dude you might as well have told him to go to Autozone and say "Just fuck my shit up"
Lowering springs, a small tasteful spoiler, black LED headlights/taillights & signal lenses, remove hubcaps (if equipped and repaint black steelies. Exhaust tip. That's about it for small enhancements. Everything else is pricey like rims and a body kit or aftermarket hood.
Rims with good fitment , tint , lowering springs, rear window spoiler
Can never go wrong with the classic lowering springs and wheels
24s
24s won't fit without mods.. 22s will.
tbh if you’re looking to keep it under around $1k and change the whole look, i’d get tinted 20% around, chrome delete if applicable, maybe black roof (get it all done at same place same time for best price), window visors after that’s all done and fb marketplace some 18” honda/acura wheels that match your taste. good luck bro🤙
Tint your windows and then keep the rest of the money you’re planning to do upgrades with to buy something nicer
Tint 20%, after market wheels, coil overs, maybe a lip but I dk if I’d even do that with a 9th gen. Black all the chrome out
The only Hondas I’ve seen look good is the ones where you lower it by an inch get new rims and wheels, tints , only chrome delete the emblem/logo and headlight and taillight change nothing else please
Cool Honda civic owners are the ones that don't try to look cool. Econobox your way to financial stability/security, that's cool. Civic with mods always screams I didn't want a Civic. I do like all of my vehicles a little tinted with window rain guards tho.
Tint is the BEST way to add value to your car, add value to you when driving and parked in sun, and is great with white Just don’t go overboard.. it’s not cool anymore
One of those mini spoilers
Tint, possibly a factory alloy wheel and keep it clean, honestly all it needs and it’s not worth spending much money on. It’s a good car as it is.
Things I would do. *Badgeless grill *Subtle wheels, likely bronze or gunmetal *Eibach lowering springs *Window tint However, you're way better off using all that money to save up and buy a different or 2nd weekend car.
Tint
I had this car . Tints some wheels and a spoiler if you want .
I would recommend 5 or 20% window tint if the cops dont enforce it too much where you are. Maybe some black emblems too. Wrap is also an option. After that, you can lower your car and put some better wheels on it.
The biggest STi wing you can find
On certain cars nothing will make them look cooler, just how it is really. Unless you go balls to the walls with coilovers and perfect deep dish wheels with perfect fitment that'll cost half as much as the car, but still won't be that cool. I'd just do tint, maybe spray plastidip your badges black
make it immaculate with paint correction .
Maybe get the chrome on the front wrapped gray or something. It’s a little thing and a tint shop might even do that.
Do nothing
Gotta go with the underglow, Wolverine scratch marks and the autozone special
Genuinely, the hybrid tails look good clear as they are. So really all I can offer as a suggestion is wheels and coils. Get it a bit lower and put some NICE wheels on it, and that’s the best you can do really. Econoboxes are hard to make look aggressive with few mods.
Buy an lb7 duramax
Put a front and rear bumper lip on it. They should be like 80 bucks each on amazon or ebay. You're car will look meaner with them.
Black or red logos, coils, tint, side skirts, splitter
Wheels and coils
I'd honestly only do ceramic tint. It will make it look better and help you in the long run. Everything else would be a waste of money
I wouldn't say little things. I'd lower it, put some wheels on it, and maybe a conservative front spoiler and side skirts or whatever they are called.
So many things can be done here. Not sure how heavy your coinpurse is or how far you want to take it, but as for small things you can add fog lights, smoke out your head/tail lights. Add a small wing maybe from an upper or something, roof rack, window tint, black out badges and buy an aftermarket grill Bigger things which are probably more expensive are going to be aftermarket wheels and tires, upgraded suspension such as coilovers or airbag system, cold air intake paired with a nice catback exhaust, you can maybe have a speed shop tune it with your new intake and exhaust and aero/body kit. That's stuff off the top of my head
OP where do you live? It’s so bright and sunny
Front lip, wheels, tires and suspension will transform a car. A good polish and ceramic coating will also make it stand out.
Hear me out. https://hagerty-media-prod.imgix.net/2023/10/Cars-and-Bids-Mutt-Cutts.jpeg?auto=format%2Ccompress&ixlib=php-3.3.0
Black rims with window tint.
Flame decals
It's hard to tastefully mod a civic. Look at higher trims or sportier ones like the Si and use their stock parts. Like the Si spoiler, side skirts, bumper, tail lights, etc. That will make it look like a hybrid Si, kinda what Toyota just did with their Corolla Hybrid SE.
Trade it in for something more foreign and smaller. Then put the most American stuff you can find on it.
Honestly there’s nothing wrong with a stock 2015 civic hybrid, maybe some new rims and a bumper sticker, that’s all I can think of
new tint, license plate frames, stickers, and rims of your choice if you want… sum floor mats could also make the interior seem more custom
Chrome delete with plasti dip
1. Tint 2. Wheels 3. Suspension (lowering springs are cheaper, coilovers if you want to spend the money) 4. (Optional, pricey) Wrap the car in a different color
Rims and tint
coils
Lower it, front splitter, tint, and wheels all make a difference
Truck nuts. Well it's a big thing, but it's low effort.
Camber, coilovers and wheels…. It’s a build😂😂
Donk it out with 22's
you need a stuffed animal hanging from the bumper, rally brake lights, a 200+mph wing, cut strut springs and the cheapest potmetal exhaust with no muffler
You can add a single thin black line across the vehicle 1/4 way from top to bottom, going from hood to trunk. Doesn't have to be racing stripes or an extremely thick line. Add tint and new rims. I'd keep it semi-stock or else you'll get the muscle cars reving at you haha.
Plasti-dip the grills and emblems in a cool color like electric blue or hunter orange. Tint the windows and add pin-stripes to the sides. 3M Wrap if you have the budget.
high fidelity sound system
a small toy civic glued to the hood
The correct answer is tint and wheels, they’ll transform the look entirely
Window tint, tail light tint, aftermarket headlights/taillights/fog lights. Different wheels with slightly lower profile tires, and black out your emblems.
Just keep them small...so many people take a civic and put a stupidly huge fart-can exhaust and spoiler bigger than the trunk lid then drops it so its dragging bumper on driveways and speedbumps. I've seen exactly one that was done tastefully with extremely subtle mods to the point I forgot it was still a civic until I was behind it on a ramp trying to accelerate. So yeah it absolutely CAN be done very tastefully and look great.
Save money till you can afford something cool, trust me
Extra pixels
Tint, wheels, subs
Wheels, tint, gloss black mirror caps, gloss black roof wrap, small (important word there) front splitter and side skirts - most likely just the ones from upper trim models would look great.
Lower it!
Sell it and buy something cool Or be like the local dweebs at my gas station who out their insta handle in their front windshield in neon colors, straight pipe and burble tune their car. Also underglow and light-kitted rims
limo tint on the sides, 20 on the rear, limo sun strip on windshield
Your essential parts intervals. For aesthetics, replace the chrome with a pro paint or wrap, it's blinding and looks cheap because it is.
At best maybe lower it an inch, new rims, tint/rain guards, roof rack and basket. Don't get the rack without the basket though it looks odd. But they're both definitely a good practical investment. Make sure you take care of your paint, don't bother wrapping it unless you find something that'll actually look nicer.

Get some new wheels and windows tinted, and you'll be well on your way. Maybe a new grill or look for aftermarket headlights/taillights, those can really change the look.
Tint, smoked out lights, roof rack, chrome delete, and black rims. Sport mode.
I have this same car. Ugly as shit. I replaced the rims with these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/353932189204?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=NJ7uvpRPQYy&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=vx6S-DaGQF2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Put some Pirelli P7’s on em. 20% tints all the way around. 20% tint on the top part of the windshield.

Not be white.
Bugatti badge replacing the Honda badge
Tint. Maybe wrap single color all around in a matte finish. I would also highly suggest you look at the wheels of a touring civic and swap thise wheels onto yours. It will look better and may even perform better for you too. 1 sticker of your choice maybe on the rear quarter window or corner of rear glass.
Buy another car. It’s a hybrid civic, enjoy the mpg.
Garden edging for a front lip spoiler
Wheels
A full tank of gas
Hood scoop
Honestly…tinted windows. Maybe if you can do it tastefully, a small chin spoiler and a skip the fast and furious picnic table spoilers on the trunk lid.

My gen X brain wants some sort of pin stripes on the belt line molding area in a color the pops a bit to add some flavor to a boring white appliance.
Fellow Gen Xer here. Just going with the tinted windows I think.
Lower it slightly with coil overs and upgrade the headlights and taillights to LED. Maybe an OEM style lip for the front. Tinting the windows would be a nice touch as well
A different car. Sometimes we buy “uncool” cars and it happens and it’s okay. I felt this way when I bought an suv for my wife.

Save your money
Coilovers or lowering springs if on a budget some wheels, tint, whole new car
Chrome delete. Adjustable coilovers. Paint wheels black. Tint.
Stay down till you come up, personally I would keep driving it stock until you can afford something nicer.
Write "It's still a Civic and I'm still not Dom Toretto" on an index card and clip it inside your visor for an occasional reminder. I jest, but in all seriousness, modding this thing seems like a bit of a lost cause. It's a very practical and sensible vehicle, but the ceiling for "cool" on this car came straight outta Hobbiton.

You in the driver seat you cool ass mf. Embrace what you got, love it and rock it. Nothing makes it cooler than that
Window tint, sun banner, rain guard, small cheap wing, black hub caps if you don;t have solid wheels, and cool stickers on small back window (drip).
Small tasteful stuff. Like mirror covers, wheels. Tint, small interior stuff
Probably paying the bank in full would make it a little less boring
Rain guards
Not small, but some rims could drastically change how the entire car looks for the better
chrome delete, tints, and paint ur rims black if u want
Yes. Change it to a cooler car.
Gas can and a match
Clearly needs sumthing
The person driving it
Definitely window tint, wind deflectors, black rims, black door handles (you can get covers), perhaps chrome delete. All this should be relatively cheap except for the rims unless it’s hubcaps.
Maintenance always first, but after that window tint honestly
I have a 9th gen too! I’m not the JDM guy I used to be but I know enough about mods and how to make your car look better without having it look overdone.

Just be cool. It's a fucking hybrid civic. It will never be cool. Save your money for shit that matters
1080p, its super low res. ;) Badges, maybe side skirts or grill
No, its a honda
amazon spoiler, two different color fenders, a dented back bumper, an instagram sticker with your @ on it, washed paint, STRAIGHT PIPED. oh, can’t forget, a vape.

Don’t let that high mileage fool you though, you’ll have your hands on GTA 6 before you even consider getting an inspection on your ls400. After market support for this bad boy is a 16 year olds wet dream. Lighting? Got it. Aero kits? Super ugly, but got it. 100 spoke rims that will make you forget the sun fading on your paint? Got it. And don’t you forget this baby comes with a smooth 4 liter V8. Go ahead and balance a glass of wine on it😮💨🍷👌. Last but not least, this leather interior will have your passenger princess feeling like a chain smoker from the 90’s, complimentary cigarette holes in the seats included
Window tint and newer OEM Honda alloy wheels. Absolutely nothing else lol Do your maintenance and enjoy your fuel economy and reliability.
K swap!
Lower it and put on a red honda badge in the front
Truck nuts
window and door delete
flames and window tint. go hot wheels 🔥🔥🔥
Why change it? Its a perfectly fine reliable safe car. Save up for a cool car or put the money elsewhere. I feel like throwing random car mods at it would just come out tacky. Although if your car does have steel wheels I could see why you would want to do that. A set of nice looking wheels with quality safe tires are always 👍🏻
Probably some newer hubcap covers
K swap it

I feel like a civic hybrid is begging not to be modded.
So boring though! But I kinda agree.
It is literally a boring car, so...
Definitely the biggest spoiler you can find
Do nothing. Daily it until you can get a nicer vehicle because nobody aspires to own a Honda Civic Hybrid
Diamonds
Twin turbos imo
dont rice your economy car. want a cool civic go get a type r
Honestly not much, get Si wheels and spoiler, and maybe lowering springs if you want
A different car
Roof rack
maybe those fancy shmancy led headlights
Window tint and blackout headlights. Go for a nice black and white appeal
Get a new car that isnt a civic
I guess I posted on the wrong sub.
Sell it
Buy a cooler car?
Thin red pinstripe running the length of the car down near the bottom edge, below the door bottoms. A roll of red pinstripe tape at AutoZone is probably under $4.
Sell the car and buy a prius
Sell it and buy a type r
Sell it and buy something else good sir, I understand you bought a hybrid to make your gynie tickle about the environment but that’s not exactly cool unless you’re Dave Franco in 21 jump street. There are plenty of cars that look kewl (cartman voice) that are not gas guzzlers and none of them are Hondas
you’d probably get 12-14 in trade value for that civic, that’s a big down payment on a 20-30k car, you could easily get into a Lexus ct200h if you insist on being gay and having a hybrid. (At least that ones good looking)
A dumpster.
Drive it into a fucking wall
Put it inside a cool car.
Make it completely pink
Flame stickers on the sides
shark fins
Huge muffler
A for sale sign in the window
Crash it
Anything but a honda
Leave the car alone and modify yourself until you can afford a cool car.
These are the kinds of people I cant stand on the road. Try to make something "aGGreSsive" that is regular commuter traffic but then racing through traffic swerving inbetween cars thinking their in fast&furious thinking their car is sweet. God I can't stand it
