Here is a very cheap and easy to do mod. Paint the side markers and taillights blinkers to get the jdm look .

Do nothing and save your money for something that may be worth doing later.

If you haven't already, lower your car. I find the front end too high for my own tastes. The lowering springs by Swift should be on sale on MAPerformace for roughly $90 dollars shipped.

What's the difference between the bushings under the hood and and the ones at the stick? I have about 3-4mm play front to back in my stick. is this normal or would shifter bushings make it feel better? it's my first standard so i'm not sure what it's supposed to feel like.

The under the hood solid bushings replace the rubber ones that connect to the transmission linkage. The solid shifter bushings replace the rubber ones at 4 points that hold the base to the chassis. I to was skeptical about the shifter bushings being that there wasn't much movement but once you swap to the solid set it is well... Solid. Lol .... There's alot of info on these, just search it up
