I think maybe you've missed the point. I DONT DO EXTERIOR MODS. Spending money on something that doesnt make you go faster, stop quicker, or just overall perform better, IS A WASTE OF MONEY!
yenno, i have to agree with 40. i'd much rather drive a sleeper than be driving a flashy civic trying to prove to people that i've modified my car. plus, when you start modifying the exterior, it just attracts thieves.

and 40, i must say, you have one of the most beautiful civics around. you take awesome care of the paint and IMO that looks a whole lot better than body mods. can't say i blame you for not putting on a bodykit and an aluminum spoiler and weighing down the car some more.

and im sorry you seem to be getting attacked Hatchgirl, but im going to have to point out that you should be careful with some of your statements. Mustang Review


Civic Review

look at the long term reviews. that speaks alot about why we prefer our civics. let alone Mustangs are too heavy, underpowered, and expensive to own. yeah, i know youre going to laugh at a civic guy saying a mustang is underpowered, but ill take on your GT anytime. and all said and done, i have about 1/3 of the cost of a new GT in my 95 civic. and that includes a decent stereo system, all my motor work, and my suspension and brake upgrades. so even with more power, a mustang (sports car) would have a really hard time hanging with my civic (economy car) around a road course. oh, and i still get about 26-30 mpg driving hard. and my insurance is less than $100 bucks a month.

For?


I've heard of people that have bought 99-04 model mustangs...having to take them back for a "New" starter after only having the thing for 6 months to 1 year.

Thanks xe!!! You're my favorite But seriously, my girlfreind thinks i'm crazy because i actually ENJOY spending 3-4+ hours washing and shining my car every chance i get. I just shrug my shoulders and keep waxing. Like you said, a good deap shiney paintjob attracts just as many people as a body kit. And the way i look at it, body kits and wings draw the wrong kind of attention, thieves, ricers...etc.
