I think it looks good too, but hope you never have to take the rear bumper off or hope it doesnt crack. I wish I knew whos car it was because I have been trying to find out what to use to mold it.

That molded bumper is great til you drive through a steep driveway and the car flexes. It is very difficult to mold plastic to metal (correctly).

its going to crack sooner or later, I know a person who molded a widebody kit to his hatch about 8 months ago, now its cracked in all sorts of places.

it's the standard Riceboy 'racer magoo' look. It makes your car look sick fast.....if you've got steelies up front, and some rims in the back, you strike FEAR into the other drivers heart. the car MUST be fast.

That or maybe he was showing steel on his front tires from his camber and he pulled them off and put steels on so he wouldnt blow a tire. I dont think anyone thats into imports is stupid enough to go out and buy GSR's just to rock the backs and run steelies up front. My friends front tires went bald and he doesnt have money for new ones right now so he put some stocks up front till he can afford new tires. And trust me hes not a rice boy or whatever you call it , Hes well off with an '87 hb with B20vtec!

P.S. and by the way I dont know this guy with this white car. The above is just my opinion of why he has steels up front!!

its ok but if u plan to buy it save the hassle. the first time the back end touches ground u r fucked. and that is to say the least. unless u own a paint shop in which case go all ***** nilly on that ****.

Really gives it a much more modern look FWIW , the ricers here have got into the mismatched flat black rims look like crazy . 2 months ago , they were all on white tuners and now its all steelies and whatever else they can fit . My fav is an Eclipse that had some really nice DTM's I would've loved on my 240 that now has steelies up front and some old school BBS mesh things in back I had gloss black steelies with a red pinstripe lip and OEM centercaps NASCAR style on my old Si many years ago - I'd LMAO if THAT became trendy !

There are alot of fast hondas around here, and the fastest ones all seem to be rolling on black steelies or mismacthed crx and integra rims>
