There's a DIY available on that forum for the trend-turned-fad-turned-regret as well...

I'd love a shiny copper hood, say, from the Honda Fit... but it just won't ... fit.

This guy made a good point

I would never try that here in the chicagoland area even if I did like it (which I don't)

Old news. My buddy has had this done to his car for well over 2 years now. Not to mention people in Cali have been doing it forever.

Ghetto, just like the very low offset wheels, too much negative camber and stretched tires.

This is a dumb trend.. but then again from their point of view.. all the honda idiots who go ape over Jap-spec or Euro-spec old *** used parts and spend tons to put used parts on their cars is an equivelently dumb trend.. which I agree too.

I agree.
Not everyone that drives a Civic is a JDM-aholic.
Ive always thought the clean'est Civic's are the ones that look stock with a drop and rims.
