Welcome!
Put your Si into the Member Rides 2 section. We don't hate on tasteful rides so we're hoping you do decent by the Legacy.

For the Leggy, the first thing to do is hit the rusty areas. And don't bother with HIDs in those housings - it'll scatter and refract the light. What you want is to do a projector retrofit.

If the clutch needs replacing, you might want to consider installing a new 5mt snout kit if you're planning on keeping it awhile (at the same time you do the clutch). Some fresh tranny fluid, new diff fluid.

Then maybe some WRX wheels (my guess is that this is going to be a winter car)?

1st, Welcome.

Huff's got wheels and headlights covered, so....

-Front cover with fogs would be good for better visibility if you don't want to retro fit.
-Lowering can be had using OEM WRX suspension. Tho I can't remember which years are interchangeable for your model. There is a suspension interchange sticky in the suspension forum.
-Most sway bars are interchangeable too. Be sure to pick which is right for your application.
-Same with brake upgrades.
- And rule of thumb while you're here: If you don't know, ask. If you're stuck or in the middle of working on your car, or honestly have no clue, Post up or PM a mod to point you in the right direction.
Civic is well, you know already. Good luck.
