Well the day has finally come and damn gosh does it SUCK

No I did not sell my 1.6 EL.....

actually its actually what Telly has juss experienced...too sum up what he said is Immitation the sincerest form of flattery....

well I have juss gone through the pain of seeing another 1.6 EL with very close identical styles as my 1.6 EL.....I was so pissed, I even chased the **** down, too see if it was really tru.....wish I didnt do that cause seeing that car confirmed it was too close for comfort copy of my car, missing some key things but none the less, some style cues where and I SHOULD KNOW where talkin orginally from my car.

so lets compare:

My 1.6 EL PrimRose Color

Gunmetal headlights
Black lip and front grill
Dump height
Civic Rear Bumper
15 inch gunmetal rims, midly tucked.

and then there is my imitation:

1.6 EL PrimRose Color
FRont Grill Black
Gunmetal rims (size I dont really care, color was all I was lookin at)
Mild Tint.

Basically the style cues of the unpainted front grill and gunmetal rims which I thought I was the only one rockin on a 1.6 EL Primrose, and the fact it is the same color as my car, was a complete **** off.....if you look at the car you will think its me but when its not....cause mine gots more dents...

yet even though, if this car has more than likely seen my car, then I believe its only a matter of time where more ish will be copied....

BOOOOO!!!!! Damn I understand what Telly means, wish people can build on them and not copy...

oh well only solution too this, show those who copy styles, who the orginator of this ish is and drop it like its hot.!!!!

happy motoring yall!!!

Wow, I thought you were selling your car by the title of this thread Timbo.

I have this problem too, but then again my car is stock so any other stock EL with the aero kit will look the same.

^^ haha...not me right? But somehow you know I don't want to get the same front lip as you either...however, the worst is I got "not much choices" in our generation. And that's y I don't willing to paint it as the body colour also the rear lip is different with you too. Try my best to get "another" style which is not calling "Telly II"'s to my baby..
