soon 2b - I haven't been to that site before. I would suggest poking your nose around in here for a while, and you will start to see some of the sites that will provide more variety, and that are tried and true.
as far as mods, I would say something along the lines of stance, stereo, speed, but I guess it all depends on YOU. What are you looking to do with it?
A decent, inexpensive stance can be had with tanabe df210 springs. As far as wheels go, something like 18s are a nice compromise between size and ride, and fill the wheelwell pretty well. There's a lot of personal taste there, tho, and i've seen alot of smaller wheels look very nice too. When shopping for wheels, watch the offset - the rears are set a little further in on the box.
Stereo, well, i won't even go there. If that's an issue for ya, I'm sure you know what you want anyhow.
Speed, well, in my opinion, just being honest - it's an econobox. There aren't a ton of things that you can do to make it a monster off the line, but alot of people are happy with CAI and catbacks. Of course, you could loose your mind, and supercharge it, lighten the pulleys and all sorts of other things, but that's not my ball of wax.
Lots of opinion here ^^^, so no flames please
