Re: I hope I have posted my car (SOHC_MShue)
what's the big thing with leaving the bodies stock? I think it looks good... since most honda's aren't that fast anyway, might as well make 'em look good rather than looking the EXACT same as some old guy driving the EXACT same car!

Re: I hope I have posted my car (93SIRII)
not bad ..... the kit is alright. it's up to you. don't mod your car so that you can feed of what others think of it. do it because you love it and will love it even if the world hates you for it.
suspension specs? engine bay shot?

Do what you like - but you did ask for opinions.
Personally I think it looks nice. Not too gaudy, good lines, and you are using your car for something besides crusing. That's cool.
I think everyone's on the "stock/minimalist-performance look" BANDWAGON nowadays, which I dig if it's sincere. Nothing cooler than a stock looking sleeper to me. But doing that just because everyone else is makes you a leming.
What kind of mods to you have? Style without at least some substance

Because it doesnt serve any function than to get insulted by everyone laughing at it and to be totally mad Fast and Furious. The kit does not flow with the blody lines of the car, something Honda spent millions of dollars designing so that it would look good and function well. And considering the enthusiast market/following of the Civic almost dwarfing that of many Porches and other pure "enthusiast" cars I think Honda has done quite nicely for an economy car.

Problem is a lot of us think most body kits makes the car look WORSE, not better so your theory is 100% subjective to personal preference.
I go apeshit over a 100% bone stock Civic, but whenever I see yet another stockish civic with a big bodykit it doesn't do anything for me. Just because it's differnet than stock (but not different in general - there are plenty of kitted Civics, just not on H-T) doesn't mean it's in good taste.
Sorry.

Yeah.. to buy a 100% stock civic is great, because you get a nice platform to work on, with no BS work that someone may have done to it already. And if you buy from the right person, you know the car was taken care of.
Sure a "sleeper" look is great... you should come to my area... their is a club around here called UPI (Upstate Performance Imports). They have some of the fastest cars in the area. One guy has a 91 Civic hatch... COMPLETELY built with a huge turbo and FMIC... but it looks like it just came out of the junk yard.. LOL!! You would never guess that this car is gonna spank the **** out of you!! But then again... who would race a beat lookin car if they were right next to it at random? Sure... I know his car and I wouldn't frigg with him because I know what's in it.
But on the other end of the spectrum... if you look good... and you're rolling through town... Chics dig the **** out of ya!! hahaha... unless you speed through town to get attention, looking good is another way for respect. I think it's all area specific. Their are some towns around me with car groups that PLASTER their cars with APC stickers. I actually asked them one day if they had any APC equipment on or in their car... and most of them said no! That bothers me.
Their is also a Gold Del Sol in my area that would also woop anyone around here too... has 18" chrome wheels, Decah Lambo doors and is putting down 324HP to the wheels!!!
I don't really know where I was goin with all this... I guess it just bothers me when people bash somebody that wants to look good too. Most people in an area don't know what "JDM" is... some of the old guys know what a "sleeper" is though... but they'll laugh when you tell 'em you have a "sleeper civic" Oh well... just wanted to vent a little... I'm still gettin used to everyone's opinions around here.

What I mean to say is that 100% bone stock Civics are the rarity these days. I mean 100% stock and in perfect shape. It's like they are virgins waiting to be "broken in" and that to me is cooler than any otherwise sock civic with bolt-ons and a body kit.

I'm not saying I like shitty looking cars. There is a nice happy medium where a car can be super nice looking and clean, and IMO that doesn't require a body kit. I'd post examples but then this topic would be completely hi-jacked. I'd rather have a stock swap and a beautifully clean car than a shitbox assbucket with a boosted swap IMO.

I don't need a car to attract girls. If you do then I'm sorry. You have the wrong car for attracting girls bro. You need to buy a nice inexpensive V6 Mustang convertable and put some flashy wheels on it if you want to attract girls. Most won't know the difference if it's not even fast, and drop tops score more points with "chicks" then any Civic ever will. I'm dead serious about this one.

Re: I hope I have posted my car (93SIRII)
I like a body droped civic with stock peices better then that front end, skirts are okay. The bomex showoff front end looks nice on a HB civic. I dont realy have much room to talk here because my civic's kit is stock as they come
