6. Saggy rear springs.

How is this not ghetto or rice? Take pride in your car. So you cant afford a new CF hood at the moment, tough. Save your money and do it right. Driving around in a bucket like that just adds to the "All hondas are crappy rice rockets." stereotype. The majority of the people on this site have very clean, and very tasteful rides. And the fact of the matter is people will remember 1 shitbox honda rather then 25 good looking ones.
agreed, hondas are already being reputated as crappy rice rockets, we don't need several additions to that...

your car is homemade, but if your happy fvck what others think. Its like the same bullshit that people spew about how the AEM is so much more better than a generic brand intake, because of all the R&D..yada yada yada.. The fact is that exhaust and intake make such a miniscule difference in power that it doesnt matter if you have the V22000xrt intake or an ebay intake, dont let anyone tell you other wise. Would i leave my muffler off...no...would i play surgeon with my hood....no.. a generic intake is one thing .....all that ricey **** is another


P.S. be sure and get the bypass valve cause you will get hydrolocked like way easy!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha

This is the stereotype that makes me hate driving a Honda, espcially a Civic... That is the type of thing people expect from a Honda owner... If you only knew how I often someone said to me "I normally hate Honda's, but yours is so nice", because everyone expects rice when you tell them you drive a Honda.

You complete this stereotype. You do not see someone driving a WRX (or whatever..) putting a gutter pipe intake on...
