first off, slow down on the insults or jumping to conclusions on peoples posts... mods are picky around here.

Also, there is NO JDM coupe, it does not exist... so getting JDM parts for her car arent likely, and even less so if its an DX/LX/EX because I don't even think they have a car with that motor in it (AFAIK)

It's not whack.. just don't come in here and start talking **** on your first day.

So now that you know there's no JDM for her car.. what kind of parts were you looking for?

there are body kits for these cars but they are far too outrageous for most. I suggest the HFP lip kit... looks good, fits the form of the car well.

If she does happen to drive an Si, you can at least go with some engine bay mods (JDM junk, depending on how in depth you want to go). Otherwise... the only new civics with JDM options are the sedans.

They're not staggered. And staggered fitment on a FWD car is FTL!

Care to hook it up with a link on that one??

I was under the impression staggered rims go well on RWD cars. Maybe I missed something.

I found some sites that offer a staggered LOOK (wider lip in the back, but not a wider wheel), but not a staggered fitment. Is that what you're referring to?
