When I first got my 2013 Civic, it was the only one around here... but now everyone seems to have one.

So what are some cheap mods I could do that would make it stand out?

You must be young. The rest of us (old farts) don't want to stand out.

You and I run down the interstate at 10-15 over the speed limit. You in one of those dressed out *** cars with lots of lights underneath and a loud muffler. Me... I'm in my white pickup truck or a tan minivan.

You'll get 100 tickets before I get 1.

Be discreet. Cops will hate it, girls "should" like (OK, get over) it.

"Stand out" and "look good" are two entirely different things, with the difference between them mostly coming down to $$$.

Tasteful wheels and maybe a drop is where I'd start, though.

Yes, and a huge stereo system! Everybody will notice you when you drive by and glance at your vehicle in awe and admiration...... BTW- Most people looking at you are actually trying to figure out how to kill you while making it look like an accident.

It's a Civic. It's a solid, reliable, fuel-efficient vehicle that should run well for years if you maintain it.

It's not a Bentley.

If you do crazy things to make a Civic stand out, the result may be the opposite of what you intended.

If by "stand out" you mean "help you find it in a parking lot" buy yourself a piece of bright string to tie around the antenna.

Yeah. If I was going to alter a Civic in any way, it would probably be the wheels. And maybe a nice leather wrap for the steering wheel.
