You will end up paying about $2000 in interest, which isn't bad, I guess, but if you add that into the cost of the car, your actual price for the car was about $16,600.

I would take the money you are thinking of spending on add-ons and pay some of that bad boy off.

Yes I will end up paying $1500 on interest if and only if I take 5 yrs to pay back my loan. I intend to knock off my loan in one year and yes I will pay like $370 in interest for that. I just wan't two extras on my car. A spoiler and yes I don't wan't any aluminium spoiler just the one that comes factory fitted. The only reason I don't wan't to get the alloys online in because I don't want to get them without actually seeing them.

Man the rims on this site are way way way expensive. I can't spend $300 for each tire!

Small, subtle, factory-style spoilers on saloon cars look nice. Compare this to this and you can see what a difference it makes :)

Unless it's an Eclipse or Evo, nothing can make a Mitsubishi look good. :p

Yeah, I kinda agree! :p But, I can't afford an Evo, and IMO it looks nicer than it did (which was my point :p) and it's much nicer than the Ford Escort I had before that :p

Get good looking 16 or 17" wheels. Make sure you know what they look like on the car before buying.

Decent (read: tasteful) wheels are OK.

www.spoilerdepot.com (oem replicas, but material/paint quality is identical to Honda)

or look on ebay for the "www()spoilerdepot()com" seller (or something like that).

Much cheaper on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2456551232 (ended)

Which would be better spoilerdepot.com direct or through ebay ? its $195 on their website dunno about ebay.

they might have ricers with the same color civic you have.. and you can see pictures of what looks good.

a nice oem wing would look nice. some 17" would look nice imo. no chrome though. dont listen to all the "ricer" hating preachers. theres nothing wrong or ugly about someone making their car look nice. perhaps they may just be bitter because they cant do the same.

an EX or any accord is vastly more impressive to me than an LX with a giant drag-increasing appendage or weight-increasing 17" wheels.

His LX has steelies right now, alloys would be much lighter even if it's a larger size.

There are 17" wheels that weigh less than 12lbs each. You knew that, right?

I don't like the way the Accord looks so didn't get it. Had EX come with leather seats I would have got it but paying $1500 for a sun roof, ABS, wheels and a bit more power didn't sound good for me. I would rather spend that on getting a spoiler & wheels. Just have a different outlook.
