The less knowledgeable would also think you forgot to paint the hood.
Are there any performance modifications to it, or is it 100% uncle ben?

I bet Mitsu refuses to honor warranty repairs :D

How exactly is it rice? The car is made for performance and most if not all of the mods on that car are performance mods. The carbon fiber is to reduce weight. That is a modified stock spoiler. Those cars are made to go against the wrx's. I dont see people calling those rice. Please explain.

Looks good. BTW, vi_edit, the only rice I detect is the eyelids over the headlights. Everything else is functional, though not very subtle.

No comment on the warranty, don't wanna get anyone in trouble. Last quarter mile time was 12.5 seconds with stock turbo. It has since been upgraded to some big ass ball bearing beast so it should be in the 11s now. Even with the AWD this thing can break loose going sideways.

That's fine. It still looks like a freaking toy. Carbon fiber = FUGLY! I don't care if saves weight. And all the holes and the black rims not to mention the wing that came off a fighter plane - which I do know is stock.

Bleh.

I really never cared for the evo stock - then he made it worse.

The lack of pics of the engine bay is suspicious to me.

It doesn't matter. Mitsu will decline warranty repairs for any "timed event" and that includes SCCA sponsored TSD rallies. heh....whackos.

So do most people who drive modified 13+ year old civics.

Maybe that's why they modify them?

Good luck with the transmission if you side step it much.

Those cars are insanely fast though. Still, I prefer the WRX-STi.

You may think the car is ugly but it is far from rice. This is rice. I kind of agree that the car is ugly with carbon fiber but to call it rice is like redefining the word.

Question - how come you never see any color matched carbon fiber hoods/trim pieces?

This thing will destroy most STis. I'll admit the STi is awesome but much more difficult to modify.

In that case, a lot of people are going to be sceptical that it has 500+HP and can do an 11s 1/4 mile. It's certainly easy enough to make a car "look" fast. Of course seeing the engine bay doesn't prove much either, but the lack of pics certainly makes one wonder.
