Body style: Civic or RSX?

I just realized...a modded civic (rims, lowered) looks better than an rsx...the rsx is really "stubby"

is this why so many people do swaps?

or am i crazy?

probably both...

I personally think the RSX looks more agressive. With the right exterior mods you could make the civic look just as agressive without the rice and make it look as nice as the RSX.

I never liked the rsx body style. the civic definatly looks better.
Not to say the the rsx will look good with a kit because i have seen some nice ones, but stock for stock civic>rsx

RSX=Civic hatchback with larger engine, an extra gear (6 speeds), better suspension and cosmetic upgrades. I personally like the RSX body style, but I like having a trunk so I bought the Civic. And have you compared the prices of comporable upgrades for a Civic vs. an RSX?

i think alot of the people do swaps with civic is b/c they r lighter and easier to get parts for. i think they both look pretty sweet but id rather have a civic

i think civic coupe looks nicer than rsx... but not a lot nicer... just personal preference
i still don't like the 4-door civic...

i love the rear end of rsx, their tail lights look sweeet.
but their front is kinda ehhhh....
they don't look as quished as much when they're slammed.
i like both, but i'll take a swapped civic over rsx-s

I second that. IMO, the RSX OW3NZ the Civic in performance and looks.

yea the rear looks good from the back...but it looks too squished like you said
thats why i like the civic more...
i agree with astropunk...i still dont like civic sedans lol
