Who cares they look ugly any way.  Wrap tin foil
around your stock ones and cut round holes to let the
light through cost $2 put the $150 you just saved in
your back pocket.

> - projection headlights - nope

Buy some used eurolights.  They look better & probably
provide much better lighting.  I'd be willing to wager
a relay'd H4 set up properly aimed is better than some
cheap projectors.  I've seen the civic prectors & they
are cheap at best.

> - full exhausts ( besides TT ) - nope
What else are you looking for?  Chrome mufflers?  TT
offers a few different muffler choices and their
prices are much better than honda stuff.  Good value
for the dollar.  Ever see a greddy exhuast? $600 and
its coated mild steel.  

> - Big brake kits - forget it ...
Duh?  Corrado 11" from the factory.  All you need are
some $80 dollar adapters from momentum & I bet if you
find used calipers its worlds cheaper than some AEM
brake upgreade. How much bigger do you need?

> - cold air intakes - yeah right ..
Most of the time its a waste of money any way.  I can
think of better ways to spend $300 rather than for a
$40 filter attached to $5 worth of pipe and a fancy
chrome plating or poweder coat.  

Its all a matter of what you like.  Yea the h22 swap
is nice, but for what they charge for those motors you
can have a decent working turbo set up that will hand
the h22 its ass every time.  I have a close friend
with an h22 civic & it goes like hell, but what the
yards get for the v-tech honda motors is insane.  Plus
you need axels & mounts (the mounts alone are like
$400)

Most of the "real" performance stuff for honda's is
priced similarly to the vw stuff.  Its the "junk" that
tends to be much cheaper.  

Not trying to pee in your cherios just trying to make
a point that there is stuff available to make improve
you car out there, but sometime you have to be more
creative.  If you need tailights, fancy mufflers,
wings maybe you'll have better luck with the "H"

I'll step off my soap box now,
Tony
