I've been online all night trying to find a picture of it, but i can't and me and my buddy are going insane trying to figure out what this is. Ok, im a subscriber to Honda Tuninng and in the most recent few issues a few of the feature cars have had an interesting feature. There are two little, i dunno, caps on the front on some of these jdm themed civics - ive only seen them on civics. One is red and one is black. What are these things for? Thanx

 

caps? don't know what you're trying to explain, but maybe a tow hook perhaps? try to explicate a little more.

 

It'd help if we knew which feature cars you're talking about.

 

post a pic or something. or tell me what issue it is in and what page and ill go look. the one that says long beach love on the cover?

 

a black and a red cap for like a battery?

 

Your talking about the Gold RDH EP3?
If so then i have no clue

 

i would asume (99% sure) they are for the battery. they probably use a super small racing spec battery to save weight on their daily driver, and they need these to start them, kinda like a real racecar does. and its mostly for looks to look like a circuit car

 

oh yea i know what you are talking about now....they come out of the front bumper. i would scan the mag, but my scanner doesnt want to work right now.

 

Yeah, the one with the long beach on the front... that actual eg incidentally. You think they're for the battery? We mentioned that to one another but i thought for sure it wasn't that. So why do they stick out of the front of the bumper like that again? I don't get it, why would a show car want an ultra light racing battery? Eh, whatever i was just really curious. Thanks for the explanation guys!

 

that eg also has a fuel shut off on the back hatch if you didn't notice. it goes with the race theme
