DOPE! Two things I would personally change if it was my car. I would remove the stickers on the side and change out the headlights. Otherwise your car is badass!

Re: Would you consider my car DFH? (HybridHatch)
man...i was wondering what my car would look like with si wheels and the silver dohc vtec sticker?! i do like the way it looks. stock as hell and clean as hell...i would have stock or jdm lights on it. i am just going to have to bite your style. don't worry, i'll be a little different and have an intercooler and turbo.

Re: Would you consider my car DFH? (not so civic)
I try to steer away from offering opinions, but the owner of this car seems to be okay with it so here goes:
*IF it were my car I'd put stock headlights back in and either orange or normal clear corners, or even O.E corners. Only other thing I can see is the placement of the "DOHC VTEC" stickers on the car.
The "real" stickers as they came on the 1992-1995 Civic in Japan had the same stickers, but they were positioned differently, and I think the O.E placement suits the car better.
The "DOHC" part is actually on your door and the "VTEC" part is on the 1/4 panel. It actually reads "VTEC dohc" on the passenger side, but it looks killer IMO.
I have yet to place the correct O.E strickers on my 1992 CX with DOHC VTEC motor, but I will. I had them on my old 1992 Si with twin cam and I loved the look.
I'll find pics of the placement for you.
Lastly about projectors:
My experience with projectors is that they suck. They always shined straight up into the trees and **** - even when aimed as low as possible.
...And they never outshined my stock headlights with good PIAA bulbs in them.
that's just my 2 cents, but you have a bad-*** car bro!

Re: Would you consider my car DFH? (JUNtypeR)
Yeah that's the same one that was in SS long ago. I wasn't trying to turn this topic from this guy's car though - just trying to show the more ideal placement of the O.E stickers.
Again, I like the white car.

No offense,
The car looks really clean but the engine looks like you pulled it out of the ocean.

Re: Would you consider my car DFH? (9Grandr)
<<<NO SPIN ZONE: Entering my opinion>>>
OEM stickers that do not naturally reside on the car are either:
a.) an invitation to your *** getting handed to you on the street
b.) an announcement to the honda tuning crew you have brand pride
c.) an expression of your individual tuning philosophy
d.) irrelovant window dressing, insert point a here as well
I voted for your car DFH straight up no doubt.
You have the pride, the tuning prowise and the
guts to back it up. No frills, go fast NA tuned
Civic Hatch.
Kudos.
My TEG has all the Teg GS-R logos and emblems,
plus near the engine on the same line as the
body mouldings behind the wheels I inserted
93 GS-R OEMs. My thinking here was, ITR
front lip, GS-R full underbody kit, stock wheels,
more power and better handling... I say try
me. No engine swap, only hybrid tuning on my
C1 and upgrades. I even have the yellow lenses
in the front. NO WILD RICE ALLOWED!!
"Its only a stock GS-R..." Since then, I have had
more than a few cars try me.
I should post pics.
