    That is the factory spot on some cars. I don't see the issue really.

    i imagine if they did it like this from the factory that they have a different battery and some kind of protection around it to prevent it from blowing up in a 10mph hit

    not to mention, i doubt this civic is really a show car...i'm 90% certain this will be his daily

    What are you talking about? When a civic is disassembled for more than 3 months, it automatically becomes a show car with a baller build planned.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    Still no reason to put it there. So he puts thousands of dollars into a show car, and then gets to sit and watch it all burn and die when he catches a bad ground because of a rogue piece of gravel? Or he has to take off his front bumper to get a jumpstart or disconnect the battery, which is mandatory in indoor shows?

    Seriously, OP. Put it in the trunk.
