So there isn't that many 7thgen all done up in my area, except for me and this other dude who looks like he's in high school. So I considere my car to be the nicer of the two. I wanted to put an alteeza type grill on my ride, but this fool already has one. Now I don't want to look like his car nor do i want it to loook like I put one on cause of him. Wold it be copy catting? Trying to be original, you know what I mean.[/

WhAT U GUYS THINK?

the way i see it is........ do what you want to do, who cares about other people, yes its nice to be the only one with things, however if you like something that someonelse likes all that means is you both have good taste. but it all comes down to what i always say, do whatever you like and dont give a *** about what others think! end of story

I'm going to have to do some serious work to my car and soon because there is a guy that lives here who aparently looks like me, because I've actually had people approach me and call me by his name. He too drives a 2003 Honda Civic Ex Coupe 5-spd EBP. My dash is slowly turning from orange to blue/purple, so that will be different. He has a spoiler and I don't(I don't like spoilers at all). I'm thinking about getting new wheels, but before I do that I need to get rid of my rear emblems, get a new grille, and get black headlight housings because I'm gonna go with either gunmetal or bronze wheels. Any thoughts while were at it?

Hurts2bStock, you should use that on your photochop of the new civic contest, that would be very original.

Well most likely you will look like a copy cat so just go for something different. The Kaminari grill would look nice..

midnightblueEX has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Maybe if you get the grille he has, he will say "this fool got the same grille as me"

Well I guess you can get the same grill as him but just make sure whatever you do to your car doesn't look like his.
