Heres my 2003 civic....

you can buy darkend headlights or you can do it yourself. if you look around, theres several do-it-yourself webpages on how to do this, but typically the subject vehicle was a EK civic (96-00). It generally starts with baking the headlights to make them loose, then prying them open, painting then, baking, then baking again and closing (if im not mistaken). as for rims, go with 16inchs (15's might look wierd on that gen civic).
-check out tire rack as supra_rz said, and check out rota wheels. they have a good selection of what type of rims are "in" cause they make imitations of rims of the big competitors. alotta ppl hate rota for doing this, but the real rims cost a hell of a alot. its cool if you can get the real stuff (work, volk etc.) too
-for the engine, you could do boost, but all the necessary parts will cost like 2000+, and make sure you dont over do the boost or say bye-bye to the motor. go with the swap when you have money, or do some simple mods to gain some more power. oh, and i think you mean k24 bottom and k20 head....

back to the front end...the grill is fine, the plate missing.. maybe thats it, but i think the lip could do better...ok scratch that
i actually like it all now lol rims will finish the job
the gap bothers me

you could be right.... i think i did mix up the k20 bottom end and the k24 head..... its all about money... and i really dont know what parts i will need to complete this swap........ anyone wanna make 50 bucks to do my headlights???
i wanna get new rims on my car..... but the thing is i have michelin pilots with like 90 percent tread... when they are done i will get 16s with some new rubber.... as for the gap in the back.... i do have a system back there now.... o the car does sit lower now..... the front end was in an accident..... and as for the front lips i have had them all type r, spoon and mugen, and mugen is the nicest looking lip on this model civic.........

Clean looking car. If I had that car right now, I'd probably change the rims to 16" bronze with a 45 series tire. Get a CF Hood so it matches the Black Lip(mayb consider a CF lip down the road). Some yellow fogs so you could match the 8000k HID kit.
Clean and Simple! Keep the streets clean...
