I personally bought my Coupe because it was different from the 03s.

Of course, it took 3 weeks to even LOCATE a 5-spd EX Coupe... Autos were just way too gay for me.



Note that I got rid of those UGLY stock wheels in lue of the nicer 5-stars Honda sells, but does not offer on new Civics. I'm in the process of installing the Aero kit, foglights, and wing.... but as you can see, it's COLD out here....

Personaly, I think it looks like a Toyota Camry, with some weird *** flares comming off the rear bumper. I like the taillights but even there its got some flaws. The front Bumper f**ks things up the worst though, it makse the car look like a little crappy compact car, it had such a nice solid look before and the civc looked like its own car....sometimes I dont even recognize them when I drive past them.

I'm I crazy here?
I think that if the 2004 hadn't been redesigned, we wouldn't even have BOUGHT a Civic at all. Doesn't mean I think the 01-03s are ugly, but it was not to my liking enough to actually purchase one...it's a good looking vehicle, but too reminsicent of a style that has been around since 1996 (without modifications, of course) Just goes to show, Alexander, that opinions are like *******s...well, I'm sure we all know the rest

As for the Camry comment...Oh gee, it now looks like a car that comparably loaded, is nearly $10,000 more lease:. That's a terrible thing lol. You keep your 03, and I'm glad you're happy with it. I certainly won't be starting a thread concerning my opinion about the older style

As for being crazy, yes, I think you are crazy for starting a thread that really has no point. People will either like the new redesign, or they won't...end of story.

I hear ya about the expensive spoiler. H and A Accessories wants $370 for the OEM couple spoiler, while places on Ebay are selling them for $140 painted. If you want to know 100% that it WILL fit and the paint will be top notch, then buy OEM. If you just want a wing and will sacrifice on the finer points, then go aftermarket. Not saying replica parts are automatically crappy, but buying Honda WILL give you instant peace of mind

About the tint, it all depends on the laws in your state. We went with 20% to give it a nice dark look, but not scream to get the attention of the fuzz.

I think it was $174 for the Coupe and $183 for the Hatchback.... The difference was because there's more surface area on the hatchy.

I know from those pics I posted you really can't tell the difference in the tint. Basically, if we were sitting IN the cars, you could still sort of see me, whereas on the 5%, you would not know that anyone was sitting in the car.

Also, WARNING: You will NOT be able to see jack-**** when making a left-handed or right-handed turn at night with 5% tint. You could literally run over a small child or animal because the side windows are basically useless at night. It takes some getting used to.

LOL I believe apple skins are pretty high in fiber, and fiber provides a good flushing for your digestive tract (correct me if I'm wrong, it's been a while since my last anatomy course!) So your colon may benefit from eating more fruits and vegetables...you really didn't know it was an apple?

Thanks for the compliment, I'm not even sure where I got it LOL! Sarcasm can be kinda hard to convey over the 'net and text, and I thought that cheesy *** apple was a good way of doing so People can say the stupidest things sometimes, and it's just nice to have a "Wowee! Who CARES!!!" built right into my sig...but every once in a while I make a post that I go back and feel that Mr. Apple is speaking directly to me

I think you just made my point perfectly, apple girl. You dont even like Civics you like Camry's but you where $10 grand short. Maybe you should pick up a tuning mag and see how many Camry's you find inside.

I thank you for the crazy comment too, because you have posted such interesting topics like your fibre levels in your crap pipe.


P.S. I know that people with 04's like the look....duh....thats why you bought one. The question is to the owners of the "real" 7thGen Civics

What and the 04 civic isn't a 7th gen? Do you know what makes a certail group of car a "generation?" Nobody said anything about stupid ricer mags either. Your car and the 04 civic have the same engine, chassis, interior, suspension....SAME EVERYTHING. What since the new car has updated headlights and tail lights you think your car is better? Grow the **** up.

I hope you're enjoying the






You're drenched in it.

Apparently I need to clarify.

I didn't say I WANTED a Camry, but I do think they are nice, sporty cars for a 4 door sedan, and have a nice, streamlined appearance. Therefore, resembling one in the front fascia design is NOT a bad thing, IMO. The Civic and Camry are both practical, economical cars. Sorry if a Camry just isn't as cool as your racer, show car CIVIC. And sorry, I don't read "TUNING MAGS", because usually they have the kind of crap that is posted in this forum as a joke...Civics with BMW components, etc. If I want advice on modding a car, I'll ask my peers, not the MTV of the automobile world.

"Real" 7th gen Civics? A front/rear end refreshing CHANGES a car? Are you serious? Oh no, you mean I'm NOT a member of the Cool Guy Club? Darn...I'll go trade mine in for an older model now so I can be REAL lease: As for feeling sorry for those who bought a 2004 Civic...not all of us will have the same car in 2006 so it's quite irrelevant. Not saying the Civic isn't a car worth keeping that long, hell I ADORE my 1997 , but if waiting for the next design is a reason to NOT buy a new car, then we'd all be driving used cars

As for my anatomical comment, I was answering a question posed by another member. Furthermore, at least MY fiber comment was useful, instead of starting a thread with a tone which (seems like) you intended to bash the new design.

I see that I have made some people upset with this thread, however I glad its only the guy who spends all day in photoshop changing Gatorade bottles around and dreaming about owning a Mazda (wicked cars but if you want one buy one, dont come here and wine about it).
And apple colon who knows nothing about tuning but is comforted by the fact that her car is cute and its wrong to tune it.


You havent noticed this website is primarily filled with tuning enthusiasts and Racers who have more important choices for their civic than "What seat cover's? cow or lepoard print"

Point A to Point B people like you are the reason that the auto world is filled with atrocious cars like Saturns and Kia's.


P.S. There is a big difference between having a 300 hp leather clad 7thGen with 18's and being a ricer. Also dont forget to put the garfield suction cup doll in your "Future Mods" section of your profile.

^^ damn, WTF is your problem n00b! That was your 7th post, and already your being a complete twit, the redesigned front and back is just that, a REDESIGN! They are the same cars otherwise.
People have thier opinion about cars, and if you were posting in a "Whats your opinion of the 04 redesign" your comments would be somewhat welcome. But you started a thread for the sole purpose of bashing peoples cars that are on this site. Get a life and try again, this was a crappy way of making a first impression on here!

LOL I'm sorry, you seem to be under the presumption that because I was born with a VAGINA, and because I don't share YOUR opinion of the new redesign, that now I think modifying cars is wrong, and I think my car is "cute" and would look nice sporting a Garfield stuffed animal. Wrong. I think my 106hp COMMUTER car is "cute", because I'm not retarded enough to think that reliable, economical transportation automatically becomes a rocket because I added a cold air intake and exhaust. After a DOHC swap? Hell yeah.

So before you start spewing your ignorant, uninformed CRAP, I have already owned several cars that BTW, HAVE indeed fallen to several kick ***, low 12 second Civics, and hardly constitutes your pea-brained notion of a cute girl's car.

Is this cute? Gee willikers, what's that STICK thing between the seats? Oh no, where are my LEOPARD ZEBRA PRINT SEAT COVERS????



How about this? Is it adorable or what?



Oh wait, I'm sure these are positively the CUTEST tires you've ever seen!



How about the drag radials? Cute too? They must have been stock since I know NOTHING about tuning lease:



Look how cutesy these 2 are next to each other, tee hee!



Check me out! I'm doing my makeup and hair under the car! More mousse please!



This may not be a domestic friendly site, so I apologize for flooding this thread with V8 pics but don't you DARE tell me what I know, or don't know about cars. I drove a NEARLY unstreetable Mustang every day, for 3 years, snow, rain...what have you. I may not agree with some of the ricier mods people choose to do to their 4 cylinders, but I respect their right to do so, and love to see 12 and 13 second Civics. WHY DO YOU THINK I'M HERE, TWIT? I will be swapping a B18 into my hatchy within the year. So know what you are talking about before you start to insult me. You don't have to like my cars, or my taste in cars, but take your assumptions about seat and steering wheels covers elsewhere. lease:

Chauvinistic, idiotic people like YOU are the reason that people ask, "Why aren't more females involved in the automotive hobby?" I very rarely have to defend my position, most people are very supportive, but gems like you always show up every once in a while...

And no, there is nothing wrong with ANYONE's opinion...but don't start a thread about people's cars that has UGLY right in the title, and then be surprised when people think you are extremely rude.

I'm sorry, but I just noticed that your "mods" are intake and filter. And you had the ***** to talk ****? ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!lease:

Sorry, but maybe you got the impression that I was uneducated about car matters because I don't put people to sleep with a list of "future mods":

18" 12 spoke Rims and New Springs, k20a Swap with turbo and intercooler, Omega r33 front with Tsunami sides and rear. Repaint of stock Titainium paint with extra clear and flake. Sparco torino seats with reupholster in Charcol Suede. Rear Disks and upgraded fronts.
In about a year and a bit I will have the car paid for and I will then put in about 30 grand But the money will go so fast but I'm going to do it all at once to save money.
When I talk about it, it's because I HAVE it. Anyways, I'm done...I said what I had to say and I don't want this thread closed because you insult people when you have no idea what you are talking out....later.

haha thanks Bellz hun, I really didn't mean to get out of line I just really hate that BS. I am the FARTHEST thing from a feminist/having a chip on my shoulder, believe me...but ANIMAL PRINT SEAT COVERS? Garfield? I mean come on lease: Get real...

Anyways, I really think that the 01-03s AND the 04s are wonderful cars, and are essentially the same barring the cosmetic changes. The only really true response to this thread is to "buy what you like!" If it means buying a used 03, so be it.

Take care, Mz Hatchee
