Just another way of looking at it. And then, you smoke the shiznat out of it and go back to the fundraiser and take the cheerleaders. It's a nice lookin civic, but looks dont make it go. I'd rather have that than drive around in the F&F wannabes>

I think it looks good.
Those modifications are not only saved for the imports. I've seen some of the Contours on this site have some of those same mods done. Maybe not that big of a wheel, but definitely wheel swaps, shaved handles, and custom paint jobs and who knows what else on the interior. Don't hate just because it's an import. (oh my word, I can't believe it, I've turned.)

That is a nice looking show car. And nothing more. I prefer my cars to have cars to have go , and not be trailer queens.
Nice work.

When I see a car like that posted I always ask my girlfriend if she likes it and why. I think she can speak for most women that that car is guady lookin. Here all time favorite cars are an bmw M3& Lincoln LS. plus that little civc proabably has a roll bar and nos bottles in the back seat. Doubt you gonna get much action in that compared to the tour where as you can have a carload of chicks and cruise. :p

The paint is a nice color, kinda like that Audi S4 one.

I don't hate it, but I wouldn't drive it. 99blacksesport has a good point...anybody else think of that?
Every time I see a slammed car like this one I ask myself, "how does it turn?" Really, this thing is slammed beyond benefit. I can see the owner saying "Yeah, it would handle really well, if it could roll. The wheels are to f*cking far up inside the fenderwell. But, hey, it looks good, right." :rolleyes:
It's a prime example of people not knowing what the hell they're doing to their car besides spending money on it. :rolleyes:

Don't hate just because it's an import. it's true that contour owners do these kind of mods, but only because they want to. The only mods I've done to my car that make it look differently or look btter were actually done for some other benefit(wider lighter rims and a loweres suspension for better handling). The import scene guys HAVE to do this kind of stuff or thier car just blends in to the boring souless sea of hondas and DSMs.
