1992 Honda Civic - Baffling Civic

This Ain't Your Everyday Honda

A 1,400-watt system, that's enough to power a small city.

After waiting two years for all the bodywork to be done, Alex's car looks as clean as ever. The Civic just goes to show that your car doesn't need hoodscoops, body graphics, or an enormous wing to get attention. Stick with detail and you'll be pleased with the end result. It's as simple as that. OK, maybe you'd have to call and harass the body shop a little bit so you won't have to wait two years also.

Very special thanks to James Pal at A.T.U.S for staying up until 4 a.m. before car shows preparing for my car. To my lady, Riza, thanks for all the love, patience, and support during the build up of my car. To Dave and all the guys at Dave's Garage, thanks for putting my car ahead of others in time of need.
