). Almost makes me ashamed to drive my 89 Civic hatch, but it looks almost stock.i come down to the central jers/rutgers area pretty frequently over the summer. i see a lot of ep3's, some have ugly kits on them, but the rice down there is nothing to what i have up home by me. hell people are using plasic siding from houses to make kits. unbelieveable. then they see my frontmount and are like yo u got that badass cold air intake. i just shake my head and go the other way
