no, i don't really want 17's. i want light weight racing 16s. probably the nippon 16s. like these. i would love to see these photo shopped onto my car, but i don't have the program or the skills. anyone wanna do it for me?
oh, and now that i think about it, i've also gotten "that's one ugly civic!"
I've decided that my car is a girl, she's picky as hell, won't listen to me, always wants to fight me, and when i give her presents it's never good enough and she always wants more.

oh i got those... slipstreams as i recall... theyre pretty light just the rim itself.. but with tire theyre decent ,,, i like my slips!!! no i love em!!!
i think that is the angle. cuz i was almost laying on the ground when i took it. and also, i think the person before me had some front end damage, cuz the bumper sits like 1/2 to 3/4 of an or so below the headlights and grille. more then normal.

What purpose does the bumper pole serve? Is it just for JDM-ness?
it's for helping to park. cuz in japan they cram everybody into small places, so it helps with that. he was brave to cut up a gtr bumper to put that in.

honestly, you can see that i went and put it on the passnger side.. JDM option aside, it actually helps me parallel park without scratching the bumper up or knocking the foglights out of alignment, which has happened many times... now that i'm working on making it look good, i figured making the hole for somethng to preserve it's soon to be painted self would be worth it.
so yes, it's "JDM"
yes it's on the "wrong side"
but it does what it was designed to do, indicate to the driver his outermost far corner's distance, for safe mauevering of a bumper there is probably only 3 or 4 of stateside.
Guess who's back, back again. cable's back.. tell a friend.
