well actually your car is NOT an ek...sorry to say. it is an ej6. and most people refer to ek as 96-00 civic coupes, sedans, and hatches. just trying to clarify. next time be more specific.

You couldn't be more wrong.
"EK" is a generic term for 96-00 civics, like said above, Its also fairly annoying.


Call shops, get prices.

id recommend using a lexan rear window if you can. i installed one for a friend and it split on the inside seam at the window and the lock plate area cracked. i assume it was from the window being to heavy for the c/f. he got a new one and put in lexan no more split. over a $1000 later though
