If i were you, I wouldn't throw on a body kit. What i would do is just buy a nice carbon fiber Lip or difuser for the front bumper, some decent sidekirts from ebay, and another lip for the rear bumper. As for wheels, I recomend you some 15"Rotas GT-P's(red on chrome lip, or 16" Volk TE37's (Gun metal black). Check this out.http://westkyimports.com/te37/004.jpg

IF you don't know, you shouldn't do it. Now you're just spending money to spend it. Rims are not worth the money, especially if you live somewhere with a lot of potholes and parallel parking. They add nothing to the car but looks, which I can appreciate to a degree. Take a look around on a place like Craigslist and look for someone selling theirs...it'll be cheaper than buying new.
As for a body kit...I'm not gonna lie, I think they're retarded, BUT, this isn't my car, it's yours. I would not get it because I think they look a little silly, plus, it's a little hard to take someone seriously who just dumped however many hundreds or thousands into just making their car look wider, especially in the business world. Besides, I think (and hope and pray) that the fad is dying out.
Maybe be a little different? Instead of spending the money on body mods like the kits, rims and those god awful spoilers, put it into engine upgrades. Start simple, like an exhaust and an intake and work your way up from there. Depending on the year, you can get your computer re-programmed and change the fuel/air curves for some more performance. After that, things get a little more expensive and harder to do, but it sure beats having "all show and no go" if you have something that's supposed to look fast but still uses the same beater engine. Stay away from nitrous too...that's not just a plug n play kind of thing and you should really know what you're doing before you use the bottle. Besides, you typically need to beef up your engine first (internally).
If you're really that anxious to spend the money, then put it into the engine. It'd be nice to have something that looks like a beater but whoops on people...or a sleeper. Also, keep in mind (and honestly, I'm talking from experience) having a car where you build/upgrade when you're young becomes a money pit. You'll keep spending and spending, lowering the value of your car and eventually will just get tired of spending so much money. By that time, you'll probably be moving on to college or work (I guess) and you won't want to drive a Fast n Furious reject around. On top of that, all of that money you dumped into that car, could've been saved and put into a down payment on a nice new car, and your old one will be worthless...nobody wants someone else's project car.
I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm just telling it like it is. If you can, try and save your money. If you insist though...well, try not to get too tacky.

Buy the Civic Si! It already has smokin' rims and a body kit is available from your Honda dealer as an accessory. Honda installed accessories have a warranty that lasts the life of the car. If you were to get it done elsewhere, you wouldn't normally have this option.

Not to be an *** but its a civic, why waste the money? Modified Civics are a disgrace to all modified cars.....sorry but its true.
