I can't BELIEVE no one has said it yet but...
needs mirrors.
edit: why do ALL EM1s have the rear bumper hanging off like that?!?! Mine was like that too, as well as 90% of the EM1s I see. It's always the right side too. Things that make you go "HHMMMMM"...

Re: Just another stock em1
its not just em1's, its most cars in general, but the 96-00 civics are pretty bad about it. overtime the bumper brackets bend out of shape just from the car being driven and from gravity. in most cases they can be replaced or bent back into shape, most people just dont pay attention to it unless the bumper is at a 45 degree angle to the rest of the car

My front bumper was the same way and I had to fix it. I have no idea how to fix the rear.its not just em1's, its most cars in general, but the 96-00 civics are pretty bad about it. overtime the bumper brackets bend out of shape just from the car being driven and from gravity. in most cases they can be replaced or bent back into shape, most people just dont pay attention to it unless the bumper is at a 45 degree angle to the rest of the car

Honestly, the JDM mirrors DO make the car look totally different. I didn't have them on mine either, but in retrospec I wish I had got 'em. Go look at some black EM1s, I bet you notice the mirrors once you start looking. USDM just had some ugly mirrors, lets face it lol.

Thanks man, here is another side shot. Fender fitmet isn't perfect nor is rear bumper and you can't miss that beauty mark somebody left me in the parking lot.

Re: Just another stock em1
I was told it never had and there was not a wreck or such on the car fax. HOWEVER when I got it, The DOHCvtec emblems were not on nor is the rear drive side quarter piece of glass OEM glass. So it has most likely been wrecked.
