Default Friends Civic - New Pics (56k'rs beware!)

well, it was (somewhat) nice today, so we took some pics.....i dont really like the bumper insert, unless some mesh was in there to cover up the easily seen bumper frame.....
anyways, here we go....













EDIT: He's Planning on a b18c1(or C5) soon, he also has HIDS amongst smaller SOHC mods....

he hasnt built up the SOHC because he's about to swap (wasted money....) he got the intake for free after getting in an accident (hood replacement cost more than the CF and the intake combined, so he did the 'smart' thing and got mods)
the STR thing is poor mans body kit, it enhances the bodies look and has no real use

Nice and clean. The Si wheels and drop are nice. The only thing that makes me not like it is the rear bumper insert. But otherwise it is a very nice car.

That's an STR diffuser, it lets the air flow thru the bumper instead of buildup under it, it cuts down on aerodynamic drag.

I love it except for the rear diffuser. It does put quite a different look to the rear end though.

nice car. but i think the back bumper would like better with someof that mesh knit covering the holes like u said. try spraying the mesh black, white, or silver like your car and seeing how it looks.

oh my god...... that hideous diffuser gotta go! it just ruined a clean lookin car. what is the point of getting one of those unless your car is an 11 sec beast???
no seriously, when will he ever benefit from it? on his way to the market?
a nice front lip would be a good edition to that car, but that diffuser......

I actually like that back thingy, and i guess in a way every lil bit helps right? But then again he does still have that big *** speaker box that if he removed it will much more likely help him out than that diffuser thinger. So my guess is that he only got it for the looks. Anyways this thigs is in definate need of a lip.

I'm digging the car except for the rear piece, the si frint lip as well as the stock foggies painted the same colour as the car would make the car look really good.
