Plastic mesh gutter guard behind the lower grill, secured with black zip ties. Almost free, virtually invisible, and helps avoid $$$ for A/C repairs. Honda could have included this in the design of the car for about a dollar.
Good idea - have heard quite few folks b*tch about losing their compressor to a rock thrown up by a truck or something on the highway.
When you say "virtually" invisible, is it visible from the front at all?
Take a look at the Arrggh, A/C condenser needs replacing thread. Lots of photos there. Many small black zip ties are probably better than a few big ones. You have to remove the shroud from the top grill (which just involves popping a few fasteners) in order to have enough working room. One hour max, no tools required other than a screwdriver to pop the fasteners, and some sort of clipper (a nail clipper will do) to cut the zip ties.
Bang for the buck - Footwell CCFL lighting in white. Cheap, simple and very useful.
Best - Upgraded wheel and tire package and/or Recaro SRD seat swap. The seats improve your comfort and your chances of wanting to stay in the car. The better rubber improves the car's dynamics and braking behavior.
