7th gen on 20s

I saw this one today at a local car show. I've never even heard of it before, so I was pretty impressed when I saw it. IMO the car looked pretty good too, all things considered. Anyway, thought I would share with the masses.

I don't think a civic should ever roll on dubs. Chrome ones at that.

the paint on the body kit is off... gaps seems to be a decent size too. i guess the rims are there to take the attention off the shitty job on the kit.

it didn't look like much. I took a good look at this. he just welded 2 hinges to the frame rail or whatever on the drivers side and cut out a notch in the fender so the top part of the hinge wouldnt have any obstruction. I couldn't tell (or didn't look close enough) if they were like some good aftermarket hinges or some cheap alternative. Also didn't see how they attached to the hood. So maybe I didn't get a GREAT look (it was hard to get up close to see), but I saw enough to make me think it was a pretty simple mod.

wheels over power the look of the car. they take too much attention away from the ride. body kit is ok. hood is original. i like the gator hood more. nice clean ride though

i really like the hood.. we need mroe info

im sure they have hinges that would pop the hood up a bit then swing it out

sing the hood sits flush u may need something like what vert doors use. but oposite.. like it raises the hood up 1/2 inch then hinges it

do i make any sense?

i dunno but when a car like that recieves responses that make it seem like an 89 stanza with rusted paint and "turbo fx" on 22's, it sounds a lot like hate

looks fine to me, i dont see how the rims take TOO much away from the car , if you want wheels that blend in with you car then stick to hubcaps, and i dont see gunmetal looking any better, what would that do make the econobox LOOK like a "racecar", anything you put on your car's outside is about style, if its not your style i wish people would just state so and stop hatin, the world would be a much better place.

...thats the dub 20 inch rim emblem, if you go to shows you see a lot of cars that are boasting 20's or up sporting that respective badge. saves you the trouble of having to look at the tires....

i love emblems that don't make sense. lemme just throw a squiggly line here... and a couple over here... and a circle riiight here.

i can kinda see a 20 from the first two figures, but the 2 is missing the bottom. and what about the bars on the left? what are they for?

edit: nm... they're the inch symbol

not bad for dubs on a civic.

paint does look off, but i think thats cause of the light reflection since the side skirts stick out more. and the "20" logo looks like its missing a piece... the 2 looks like an 7 or a "?"


needs big brake kit big time. otherwise, id pimp that and drive around the ghetto and mock fools
