I don't know about original if you compile all of the cars into one area, but if you think about each car being in a different city/town and state then it's most likely original for where it's located.

I'd like to think my car is pretty original. Theres definatly not anything like it near me and ive yet to see anything compare elsewhere either. It's an 86 crx dx, olive drab green with a black roof,hatch and hood, black wheels and a b16a swap. pics soon. let me know if youve seen this done before.

I like to think my car is "original" as in Original Equipment Manufacturer.

I actually think mine is original, its a 88 CRX.
I did it the way I wanted it, not to follow a trend or be JDM or whatever.

I think my EM1 stands apart only b/c no one else on this board would dare to have my wheels. Other than that I'd say no. It's a honda civic how original can you be?

Me too. I've just noticed that it's getting pretty stupid around here with the whole "you copied this person" and that was cool 5 years ago comments. Most of the people saying this have a car that looks like 80% of the people on H-T anyways.

i think my headlights are original... until people started copying the yellowness..



other things that i have done on my car that not many else have are the moroso hood pins and dzus fasteners on the bumper..

of all the people out there, i have to say the guys of AM7 know what originality is all about.. they pull stuff out that i've never even thought about doing before, and i give them much props!!

Shiet, come to Montgomery, I've put that same Equus wheel on many explorers. Looks good though

I guess that makes me even more OG, I have an Acura SLX on 22's. That's somethin you rarely see

have you ever seen that before? no.

do i consider myself origonal? who cares. its looks the way i want it to

origonality is for show cars looking for show points. If you wanna be origonal, do up an old muscle car or hot rod, stay away from hondas.
