I feel bad saying I don't like them because so many people have spent their hard earned money on them. To me it's styling that expresses individuality in the same way a Nissan Cube does. Although it is one of the best selling cars in Japan but there's no denying the design is harsh and even trendy. But although the EG expresses individuality also, it does it in an attractive way, it's a classic and timeless hatchback design, one of the very best. Even the Mk5 GTI looks like a big EG hatch, what a complement to a 16 year old car. My point is that I don't think the harsh styling blends well with the smooth and classy EG hatch. Wheels are allowed to be edgy on a smooth car, look at the 458 Italia. But a great looking body doesn't need fixing.

Wow, it's out, I feel so much lighter.

thats so true, honestly I missed having my eg the way it was in the other pics the body, the look it was so clean, classy, & timeless. But the BYS is hit or miss for anybody I bought it cause it was so different and the obvious ugly I knew I just wanted it haha and after a week I was pretty much sick of it just something I always wanted and happy I have it but not something I would keep. Its nice for me to keep reinventing my cars keeps me loving them and still in the Honda game (12yrs strong).

PS its an ES Oval that I had polished

Word. The body style is timeless. I feel the EG hatch and MKIV Golf/GTI were the only proper hatchbacks (I've owned numerous of both ). It seems nowadays all these car companies are fucking up their hatchbacks, and it's sad.

lol its just a wing guys, it doesn't ruin the car - can be taken off in 2 mins. Its a quality item made by a company who doesn't copy anyone. Ill always support a company like that.

Looks are subjective for sure, but I enjoyed rocking one on my hatch, was a bit cheeky even. Good to mix it up.

Hatch looked great JDMKAY

I want to know about that rear diffuser as well. For those who don't fancy such an "agressive" rear diffuser, HOP makes one for the oem bumper

Then you really don't know what you're missing. (The MK4 dub was the blandest of them IMO. The Mk1 and Mk2 being amazing.) I am impressed with the current Mk6 and I had a Mk3 VR6 (the start of my hatch addiction).

Other hatches I'd rock:
Renault Turbo
Caliber SRT (kinda crossover...but still a hatch)
Dodge Omni GLH
Peugeot 206
Audi S3
Focus RS

It's a make or break deal to me. Just like wheels can make or break a car.

That's how I feel too.... The less exterior mods on EGs the better I think. Nice set of wheels, OEM lip, OEM spoiler, some mirrors and you are good to go.

Yeah, I was going to all crazy, but just kept it at the 206. The Clio is sick. Might as well add the VW W12 monster in there and the Scirocco.

You bring up a good point. I absolutely love Mk1's and Mk2's, I guess I just didn't think about them haha. Not a big fan of Mk3's or Mk5's though. Mk6's are cool if they're done right.
