I like it, with the exception of the gay carbon fiber fenders. I can tollerate a carbon fiber hood, but prefer it on a black car.

No metal bleacher on the trunk lid, thats a plus. The blue is another plus, and that he actually has some real mods (engine) is a really big plus.

So I say an B+ to A-. Get rid of the carbon fiber and we can get it to an A+.

I like the color. But to be a true sleeper, he's gonna have to paint over that carbon fiber.

these days, to really stand out in the Honda crowd is to have a sleeper. Everything is so flamboyant now with Civics, Accords, etc etc.

He needs to paint his body work, other than that. It's ok. I never really liked the look of Civics anyway, they have always looked pretty bland. And aftermarket stuff just makes them look worse.

Actually, it's not that bad for a civic. It'd help if the fenders and hood were the same color as the rest of the car. I like the blue though. Unless he's got the internals to necessitate the hood, though, its just rice. And as everyone knows, rice is bad.


civics are race cars in japan. Not in America, but in japan they are. Just like FWD levins. Anyway, you didn't say 3 words you said 1 abbreviation 1 letter 1 word. Looks like 1 word not 3

I like civics to a point. I like them owned by other people

Dude. This is America, not Japan.

And "Its" is not an abbreviation, its a contraction. It is considered a single word. Look in a dictionary. A is also a word.

I didn't say its a Civic and all civics suck regardless of what has been done to them or how respectable their owner may be. I just said its a civic. Part joke, part stating the obvious, and part acknowledging that there are too damn many of those things on the roads. I never said I had anything against FFs either. I drive a Maxima for hell's sake. I'm the first to defend front drive cars.

I DID state that I liked the car. I am glad to see a Civic with some real engine mods, and not just a big damn wing and a fart can and an ugly-*** body kit. I applaud this guy for having a respectable Civic instead of building just another ricer.

The trend with Civics and most Hondas is far from flamboyant considering everybody wants to be JDM which is all pretty low key. The problem is every Civic hatch looks exactly the same as well as some other Hondas.

I like the Coupe that is posted personally except I would try and find a CF OEM from bumper and put a Spoon CF front lip on it to keep the whole front end CF and simple. I would scrap those wheels and either do Advan RGs, SSR Competitions, or some type of Work wheel. Definitely keep the spoilerless look and I would redo the interior as well and throw in some Bride or Recaro seats
