the rod sticking out of the right hand side of the bumper?

 

Extra terrestrial probe?

Sorry I have no idea.

 

probably just an indicator to let the driver know where the front of the car is. Its a RHD car, so its obviously not in the US.

 

its a parking antenna. asiandoood in the civic forum has one of those on his civic but he wont tell me what it's for. :madfawk: h:

 

is it really necessary? Do people really not know where their car ends?

 

h:
I know exactly what that is.....in Japan, dignitaries ride in Honda's and thats where they put the flag or whoever is riding in the back.h:

 

Some EF hatches around here have those on their front bumpers. I asked them what it was and they replied "its JDM." :doh:

btw... i know what it really is h:

 

yeah, you're right
might not be necessary, but extremely helpful. keep in mind, thats most likely in japan. the streets are crowded as hell, space is extremely limited, and traffic is a bitch. having those markers can only help. its hard to understand unless you experience that kind of traffic for yourself. in taiwan nearly every car i saw had its bumpers scratched up on the corners

 

I guess i am truely American, and enjoy my space throughly.

And if you go into any city, you'll see bumpers that are all banged up. But i see your point.

 

its for knowing where the corner is... and thats all even asiandoood's...
