Honda Rant...

[Elbow]

Ok..

I am sick of seeing Hondas, and they all look the same. Every Honda thread in the Pics section looks the same, a lowered Civic, Integra, CRX, Prelude, or Accord, a lip, some wheels, and some misc. factory options, maybe a boosted B series, maybe a boosted D series, who the hell cares?

There is NO uniqueness in Honda modifications. I think every thread with Civics should be merged.. "The Official Post Your Honda Thread."

I just do not understand the mentality behind it all lol. It use to be cool, they aren't UGLY, they are just INSANELY boring to look at.

I been saying this for years about Honda's. They are very reliable though and cheap to mod, so I understand the baller on a budget thing. Not everyone has a bunch of money to spend on a car to begin with, but some people still have the itch to mod. It's a good platform for a lot of inexpensive parts. To each his/her own, I guess

[alpine_aw11]

You can pretty much say the same thing about every car brand....some just happen to look better from the start. Look at VW, everyone talks about how "insane" the VW crowd is with their mods but in reality its all pretty much merged together. That doesn't mean the cars aren't nice though, and the same thing goes for Honda. Everyone cant be off the wall different with their shit, because the fact is possibilities to do something new and keep it tasteful are all but gone.

hhhhmmmm interesting...

[AKI-DC5]

your weird...

[Elbow]

I know you can make good numbers on a Honda and they offer a great bang for the buck, I've always said that and stuck up for their performance potential...BUT..they are so boring to look at lol, and nobody has one different then the others that I have seen yet, at least not THAT different.

Keeping it "tasteful" is very easy, but to Honda owners tasteful is the exact same thing...Rotas...lip...drop...the end.

[Elbow]

your weird...

Shit man I feel you...I own a hatch personally and I'm taking my time on it trying to get real parts and whatnot. Yea, it might look about the same as the others, but without cheap chinese shit all over it. I have a few ideas for my own little twists, but I will admit I'm mostly into the clean and simple look for these cars, it just seems like the best way to go for me. Imo as long as you're building your car the way you want it built nothing else really matters but the time and effort.

[HypnoToad]

hondas have always been plain to me,i mean yea they can perform....but its hard to change the whole design when they were built as just a normal car.

[VIP Style]

lol agreed to the fullest extent! i have owned a few hondas, and have grown very tired of them. i dont care how reliable they are, still doesnt mean that you will not get tired of it.

Has there EVER been any uniqueness when it comes to modded Hondas?

10 years ago, the way to build a Honda was to throw on a body kit, underglow, crazy paint scheme, and attempt to "stand out" in a sea of other Hondas with body kits, underglow, and crazy paint. Many argue that those times where the only times when Hondas "stood out" from one another. Others argue that they all looked exactley the same.


The same arguent is present for the current way Hondas are being styled. The mods are just a bit more subtle, and it takes a certain eye to appreciate and enjoy the manner in how they are being built, just as it took a certain eye back 10 years ago to admire the way they used to be built.

Is there really anything else to do to make a Honda stand out? Im not positive. But what I do know is that they are practical, effecient, and well designed cars that arent complete bitches to work on. Thats what keeps me around.

[Ed]

Never said they weren't great cars.

i wasnt implying that's what you were trying to say. i was trying to say that they are great daily drivers. thats about all

[Sir_Christopher]

not enough preludes you say? then buy mine

[VooDooXII]

not enough preludes you say? then buy mine

Oh I just want to see it.

[trini_gsr]

i see what the OP is getting at but there's always room to be unique without looking ricey. most ppl have civic hatches or coupes or 2-door integras. i rarely see folks modding 4-door tegs, certain accord models, CLs/TLs/Legends, etc.

i went to varsity in july and I had the ONLY 4-door teg (99 DB8). I wasn't there the whole time and didn't walk the entire lot, so more might have come, but even if they did I'd be pleasantly surprised if they were boosted. i saw a bunch of boosted dc's though. boosted db8s are a rare sight...that's what made me decide to go that route with my car.

not saying they aren't out there or my car is the shit or anything...but even in the played-out honda world there's still room to be different from the norm.

Sounds like some difference, but I can't explain it, it's still just a Prelude with some misc.add ons.

Preludes I think are the least played out Hondas though, I do like some Accords, some Legends, stuff like that, I love CRX's as I own one, but they are played out just like hatches.
