Interior
~$20+ (usually under $20) used Integra dual-bend shifter into 96-00 Civic
(Will need to be cut/dremeled to fit)
I highly recommend this, a noticeably different feel /short throw and worth the effort.
Comparison


~$??? weighted shift knob
If you want a different feel in shifting but don't want to do the shifter mod mentioned above, purchase a weighted knob. I personally use the PWJDM and it makes a huge difference.
PWJDM Brass Knuckle 530gram -Picture #2

~$25 240mm Convex Broadway rear view mirror (Ebay/Amazon)
If you're not a fan of a Convex, then a flat version is available.

~$??? used Integra Map-Light DIY

Exterior

96 - 98 Lip Options


If purchasing a replica lip, do yourself a favor & get a polyurethane replica, they're much more flexible than the ABS plastic which may crack & break very easily, although their fitment may be more precise (not as precise as OEM or genuine of course)

99 - 00 Lip options
Info: When considering 99-00 lips, OEM, SI (EM1), Civic Type R are the same lip. The replica "OEM/SI/Type R" lips however are more flared. It takes a bit of a closer look but in time you can easily spot the difference in the shape.


Same applies as mentioned above for the 96-98 replica lips purchases & quality.

Rear lips:
Info: There is a difference on rear bumpers between the years & models.
96-98 Coupes/Sedans share the same rear bumper
99-00 Coupes/Sedans share the same rear bumper
96-00 Hatchbacks share the same rear bumper

96-98 USDM 1998 Civic Coupe rear lip
99-00 Coupe/Sedan/SI USDM rear lip
Civic Type R rear lip
96-00 Civic Hatchback EDM VTI rear lip

Oh no, not spam. It's a developing thread to end all the "What can I do to my 96-00 Civic?" that we see VERY often on multiple forums... and a sort of resource for people who want to see the options of modifications that i've collected here.


edit: I just reread the forum rules;
"If you have a link to another site with a DIY, do not post it. "

so i'll have to edit my first post

*This is more of a resource thread of multiple DIY's/ideas instead of a DIY itself, so apologies in advance if it's in the wrong section but it seems most fitting here.

I'm unaware if D-series allows the option to edit a thread within a certain time-frame, or whenever the normal member OP would like to. The character limit had limited me to whatever I have posted above, so in time I will update some more, but if it's too late I will request a deletion and create a new thread. Cheers to anybody interested in their Civic.
 
This is an older thread, you may not receive a response, and could be reviving an old thread. Please consider creating a new thread.
