it's definitely not stock, it's vienna green off' a land rover, it's gold in direct sunlight, green in medium light, and silver in low light.

btw. the interior is a lot better than low rent hatches.

One of the nicest 7th Gens I've seen. Very well done

Is that an Aston Martin color? It's awesome whatever it is...I bet it looks better in person than it does in the pics EDIT: Nevermind I guess it's a Land Rover color

My opinion, drop it another inch. Then it would be perfect. But looks great nonetheless.

And B.C. is so pretty Gotta love the Pac NW.

my cousin is trying to fix up a 7th gen... can't really do much with it.
the fenders are HUGE! we dropped his car almost 2 inches at all 4 corners with skunk2 coilovers and he had no choice but go with a bigger tire for his wheels use to fill the fender gap. he was rolling on 16" slips wrapped with falken ziex 205/45/16 but he scraped his midpipe everywhere he went. now he's rolling on 205/55/16 and so far so good.

no d00d rEalLy...moR3 WHeeL LeSz tIrEz = HigHeR uP!

Anyway, I'm gonna be one of the first to say I really like the look of the 7th gen. Obviously it doesn't look great stock, but neither do 6th gens. A few clean mods to the exterior makes it look like a sleek RSX's little brother.

I think the one up top would look really good without the Civic and EX badges on the back, and with the mudflaps taken off.
