Default EX/LX/DX Coupes and Sedans! GReddy needs you for prototyping exhaust systems.

**I had a thread like this a while back, but the project was pushed back. GReddy will be doing commencing the project in October, so here is the Info again.

GReddy needs Honda Civic Coupes and Sedans (non-Si) to prototype exhaust systems. GReddy is looking for EX/LX/DX models in both 2dr and 4dr versions. If you live in Socal, this is a good opportunity for you. Greddy is located in Irvine, so the closer the better. Car should be as stock as possible, but a few mods are ok. And for use of your car for about one business day, you WILL recieve a FREE catback exhaust system when they go into production You will be contacted if chosen.

Please follow the instructions below when applying. please submit forms to gpp@greddy.com Thanks!

lol, I emailed them about the exact same thing, but the response was more along the lines of they'd need a big crowd of people that would be interested in doing that *shrugs*

Taking off from work for a few days plus a motel room SHOULD = more than exhaust price.

paid vacation days (got plenty of them) cost me nothing to take off work

39.99 motel6 isn't gonna break my wallet... but they said they only need it for one day, and i've driven down to SoCal plenty of times in one day (left in the morn, back at night) lol

buying a brand new exhaust that cost $450 + tax (or whatever it would be) I can't afford

the only killer is driving 300+ miles (and since I can do that on one tank, $30, round trip approx $70) i should still be koo lo

Just understand that you won't receive the exhaust the day you come in. We will fabricate an exhaust using your car, then send that exhaust to Japan, where it will be used to make a jig. The exhausts will then be manufactured at TRUST Japan, then once they go into mass production, we'll have to have your car in again so we can install it for you and take pictures. It usually takes a few months for the exhaust to go into mass production however, so you will have quite a bit of time in between trips.

So basically we will return your car to you just as you gave it to us. The exhaust will come in final production form later on. So keep in mind you will need to come in twice, and that should be it.

Hang tight guys. I haven't responded to you yet because we haven't secured a date to start bringing people in.
