I just bought a new civic and i have all these ideas on things that i want but i have no idea on what to do and where to start. i know that i want a great system, tints, intake, exhaust, tighter suspension, and so on but i don't know where to look and wut brands are nice and reliable. if anyone has any advice, i'm all ears.

 

Decide what you want first... tunes, looks, or performance.

If you want:

looks... suspension or wheels/tires
performance... intake or exhaust
tunes... JL Audio subs

thats my 2 cents

 

start with tint. if my windows weren't already tinted i woulda had them a shade darker. (check out my pics) but I did my stereo first then i got an intake about 2 weeks later.

Then I got my shifter and tires, which still aren't installed.

 

the thing is, which brands should i go for and where would i get a good deal? i want everything and i want my sound system and tints first along with xenon headlights. i just don't know what kind to get and what brand is the best.

 

well... you're not always going to get a great deal on everything... tints.. I can't tell you, that depends on your town. We have like 2 places here in my city that offer a great deal. < 200 dollars to tint 4 windows.

Stereo stuff is always expensive unless you have access to a wholesale warehouse, an intake could be anywhere from 100 to 500 depending on the brand.

I spent 150 on my deck
150 on my sub
140 on my 6 changer
50 on my wiring kit/sub box
65 on my amp
-------
$555 for my stereo setup give or take a few.

190 shipped on my intake
130 for my shifter
280 for my tires
------
$600 for "performance" stuff thus far.

my first thing is tints which i can take care of and then next step is my sound system. i heard that alpine is the best and that i should get everything (subs, amp, speakers, and faceplate) from alpine but then i heard bout jl subs and stuff so now i'm not sure... any advice?

 

alpine makes goos head units, everything else is OK. Subs... I go with JL or Kicker, there are a ton of amps around.
