I'm not sure if you're exactly very new to XModding, so depending on your skill range you could go from mild to wild. Just like cembom said, look for custom civic pictures and use that as a base idea. Or, you could just:

1.Buy the body kit and use carbon fiber hood, along with the milder kit
2.Buy the Supra wing, and use that
3.Put some stickers like AEM or others on it
4.Buy the Stage 2 Motor and Bearings

If you REALLY wanted to take it to the next level, then you could:

1.Two-tone paint the car, with some cool design(s)
2.Hinge the doors and trunk (with micro-hinges)
3.Buy some sweet five-spoke wheels, plastic or aluminum, depending on your tastes
4.Buy a really FRIGGIN FAST motor from your favorite parts site (check around for the best prices/service)
5.Buy a sick aluminum or carbon fiber spoiler
6.Make it only FRONT wheel drive, not AWD or RWD
7.Buy some neons, but buy them seperately and wire them up so you can have them on the front and rear bumpers, and on the side skirts. Also, get a red LED like one of the tail lights, and put it in the muffler
8.Take the hood, cut it down the middle, and hinge it for a split hood (really sweet)
9.Upgrade your FETs, and get the Tight Turns steering mod (for 1st gen chassis only)
10.Last but surely not least, buy ALL of the aluminum upgrades known to man for your XMod chassis (again, check around for the best prices)

Well, I hope I gave you some ideas that helped you out. Again, you should probably Google Images "custom civic" or things like that and look for some more ideas. Oh, and since you have less than 10 posts, welcome to the site!
