no but its actually pretty nice if its done tastefully. i always wanted a eg coupe with 17" rims, lip kit (not body kit), angel eyes with fake bonnet air scoops. i have yet to see an eg coupe here in cm, but plentiful of ek coupe, just wonder if those are available here.

to be honest, i will still be alittle shy since it will be somehow like a ricer, but i really liked the outlook of it. but for now, i will stick to my old kia sportage

I once saw n eg civic for sale in CM on taladrod.com. It was about 240K baht. It didn't have a body kit but looked nice all the same. It had a b16/b20 engine it it. That's the reason to have an eg smile.png There's loads of e's in Thailand and a large number have had engine swaps.

at 240k i guess you really saw the eg coupe! i seen alot of eg9 and 6 around but never the coupe, seen ek coupe around though

Is this what we are talking about? I don't know about CM, but I see these nearly everyday in BKK. Loads of parts and mod shops for these cars:) Would love one but don't want headaches. You can also find 3 door EH civic but these are quite rare and expensive. The EK civic 3 door is the later model, I think 1996-2000. I think I see less of them on the roads.

Especially bling on Vigo's. laugh.png

especially when pushed by a tsunami.

don't know the answer to the OPs question.. but a nodding dog and and a map of New York City on the back shelf , a bobbing Elvis ( plastic virgin Mary is also good) a bottle of car perfume on the dash, plastic orange on the aerial are the ultimate cool ( a blue tooth over your ear is a must if you open the window at traffic lights)..much better than flashing LEDS and flouros under the sills.with blacked out windows ..

...how do these people with skirts etc get a jack under the vehicle?

If I was 22 again I might spend some money to make my Swift look like this (not the colour)

Or my Skoda look like this (again not the colour)

But at heart I'm more of a function over form guy and prefer Q cars.

What about big fat exhaust pipes? What is that all about?

Also rims/wheels? These are just aesthetic because they only hold the tyre in place, they don't contribute to performance do they?

I've seem wings on the back of Civics and Vios that would get a Jumbo airborne. Perhaps I lean toward cynicism but I somewhat doubt they would ever achieve a speed where it would make any downdraft difference, short of flying off and hitting the car behind. That aside though, people like to individualize and make their car look unique, nothing wrong with that.
