Default Introducing my bastard child of the civic family....

Don't mind the pics cause they are from my crappy point and shoot.

The EM2 is the bastard child of the civic family. Just look at the performance applications that can be put towards any other generation and compare it to the EM2. Hell, half my suspension mods (both installed and sitting in my room) are either from the EP3 or RSX.












K-Swap going in next spring.

Looks good, CCW wheels are so f***ing GANSTA! I just hope they dont get overplayed like all the other wheels...

K20
lower it another inch
a touch of negative camber
convert to the newer facelift front
rsx interior
possibly paint the car blue off of the RSX S

then I would <3 your car. But it doesnt look bad as is either. Don't like the front lip though.

Something is making it not look as good as it can, and i think dirty might have the right idea.

It honestly is baller, but something just does not look right.

not bad for an EM2. wheels dont look right because everyone's so used to seeing them in such low offsets on Civics & thats the only way i think they look good. normal offsets, they look just alright. more aggressive =

I truly just think the height is the only real hang up. If you could just eliminate the gap and make the edge of the fender even with the top of the tire it'd be good. Dont' need to tuck, just sit down a bit.

The lip seems bulky for the car. The wheels and the clean appearance make me want to see a clean slim front, and I think the lip adds too much bulk. That's being picky though.

On the flip side, it's clean for an EM2 even as it is and does the car well. I just think it could be even better with little to no change.
