This is the poster child of how gay the "jdm" fad has gotten. God knows how much money was spent to get all the random JDM body parts that.. A) Look like crap, and B) most people cant even tell the difference, if there even IS any.

I usually try to think of a bright side...but if my car looked like that I would not be posting it online unless it was in the buckets thread.

Soooo i'll try to think of SOMETHING positive....at least your motor should be in good shape since it was just rebuilt. Im surprised that your motor list wasnt like...

jdm spark plugs
jdm wires
jdm clutch
jdm wiper blades
jdm power steering belt
jdm oil cap


Are you gonna keep it black? That windsheild is HURTING, but you probably knew that.

ya tell me about it the hole front end needs paint really bad from the doors back the black paint is really nice just dirty in the pictures and as far as my jdm parts the only thing used is the front end up at least there is no dents or scratches so i still thing i got a good front end but hey what do you expect for a old car and used parts .other than all that the windshield is next and i would keep it black just to keep it original

It appears your car is a 90-91 civic

aaahhh man
hate to say but password has raped yet another unsuspecting kid of all his money for jdm greatness


Those rear bumpers are the same as 88-89 rear bumpers. Only difference is the rear support is light weight. A light weight rear support beam will only help you if you want to get rear ended and totally ruin your hard earn work

seriously
not trying to knock what you purchased but for the most part is was a waste of money
