Most of the time (< please note the most, Im not to firmiliar with the EM civics) a short shifter is a difficult install and may play with your warantee if you take the tranny to be serviced due to a malfuncition. With a short shifter your are actually more prone to miss gears due to a lack of leverage.

Any lowering of the car will void your warantee so youre limited to strut tower bars which really don't do much. You can maybe get away with a cat back exhaust it will depend on your dealer. You can for sure change out the muffler to a "fart can" or if you rather a "performance style muffler"

A cold air intake/ short ram intake is acceptable by many shops as long as it has a place for all plug ins and sensors that fit into the OEM tubing. If you hydro-lock the motor with a long ram intake (one that goes threw the finder wall and into the front bumper) I'm sure you will need to remove it and make sure to never mention it was on your car.

It's very important to keep ALL OEM parts.

A system or change in the factory speakers is acceptable, however changing out the OEM head unit is not. Kind of a weird deal there. You will need a RCA adapter to make them work with your amp.

Changing wheels is a good start.

Good luck,
David
