The way I think of it is; You mod the appearance of your car to set it apart from all the others...:shifty:make it special if you will...

The fact is that there are probably more modded civics than there are stock ones around, especially from that generation and the previous one. By putting a body kit with and non-functional crap such as quadrupple exhaust tips and oversized wheels, you toss the car into the cesspool of riced out civics, which by the way, gives us all a bad rep.

To add to that, the guy debadged an SI, which is a rarity in itself, and deserves to be kept in stock form.
