    i hear you, i think you should concentrate on the quality the mod and making sure its a improvement over the stock appearance as opposed to banging it out to do another "budget" mod just for the sake modify the car.

    yea they are radiused and not finished, believe it or not this car gets driven dailey, i dont have my element anymore so i only get to bust ass on the car and pray its running and back together so i can get to work the next day, there is 2 inches out of the rear arch, when the previous owner spray foams over rust its hard to make progress fast

    is that what you consider radiused quarters?

    props on the suspension work and motor raising but everything else is carelessly executed and very haggard.

    also classic =/= trendy. thats why side markers, sir lips and foglights are popular.

    ill reserve final judgment for the finished product.

    uh yea all cars are trendy because everyones already done something before you, I guarantee no one has my wheels unless you drive a jeep, the basket with the cooler, has every tool i need to take my car apart, the fender got fucked up, i drew all over it, its not gonna be everyones cup of tea and thats fine by me, but dont tell me im not doing my own thing because if i wasnt it would look exactly how you want it to.

    i havnt seen a civic with a 1.5 inch raised motor?
    i havnt seen a civic with sectioned strut forks?
    I havnt seen a civic with 4 inch extended top hats?
    i havnt seen a civic with radiused rear quarters?
    kinda seems like i did that on my own and didnt follow any trends....

    If it was a trendy civic wouldnt i have a shocker sticker, tow hooks, type R lip, jdm fogs, jdm fenders with side markers and a jdm bumper pole..... but i dont cause i wanted to be different then everyone else but apparently im like everyone else. Think what you would like to but im gonna keep doing what i want with the car if you dont like im sorry im not up to your standards

    Keep doing what you're doing. I really like the custom raised mount
    Im not tryin to bash the kid or anything. Its constructive criticism. Im not saying his cars a POS or anything, Im just saying it looks like he googled "whats cool" and threw it on his roof rack. I thought we were all in the automotive seen to express our personalities and styles through our cars, rather then just trying to fit in. But hey, thats just my 2 cents. You are right though, this site is all about diversity and bringing all the stanced styles together from all over the world in one site. Thats why i love StanceWorks. So kid, dont take what i say offensive cause thats not what i ment, take it as contructive criticism. If i didnt like your car i wouldnt waste time looking at it. Im glad to see your rippin up the frame rails though. Lower It.
