um yeah. that is one of the tuneabl pipes. the thing on the right is the piece that you put nto the pipe to silence it up a bit. always see them on Civics but never a seven before.

CRAP!!

Yea... looks like an Apexi N1 single. Notice the A'Pex sticker on the car... actually, aside from the hideous velour interior I think that looks pretty good...

Yeah I thought the same thing. The exhaust silencer looks a little wierd mounted like that. It is suppose to be in the exhaust not attached beside it. The stereos are kind of ricey. I bet they weigh a lot. Aside from those bits, the car actually looks pretty cool. White rims aren't my favorite, but that doesn't mean they are rice. Some may take exception to the tails, but they are ok IMHO.

Ricey? I dont agree. And the rims give it a rally look. If anyone has ever seen one of the mufflers with the inserts you would understand whats up with the exhaust.

AQUA TEAM HUNGER FORCE. I thought I was the only person that had ever seen that. Why does it only come on half of the time that it is suposed to?


Oh and that car would look fine if it didn't have the sticker and the speakers.

Wow..

People agreeing that even the clear taillights look alright?

I must be in the Twilight Zone...

A little while ago we had a thread on Indiglo's and and Clear Tailights, with an overwhelming "yuck" from most of the board.

Wierd...

UMMMMM..............
Sorry, no matter how much I try to justify that thing, I still think it's just about one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. Personally, I think it's a waste of money and a perfectly good 7. I can't stop picturing the driver wearing a big floppy hat with a feather in it and a fur coat. Sorry baby, that's not my bag.

Hmmm, very good point you make, just think how horrible it would be if he did it to an 83 limited. makes me cringe. Oh yea, directfreak, i don't like the clear taillights, it's just that the exaust was so stupid looking I couldn't tear my eyes off it to look at the rest of the car.

I didnt say it was pretty, i just said it wasnt ricey (by my definition) and yes the muffler looks like ****, and yes the second gen spoiler looks like ****, and yes those speakers and the interior are ****. The tail lights dont look as bad as i thought they would have, but i wouldnt want them on my car. The wheels i like.

I like the rear spoiler. I have seen them with Mariah Motorsports body kits and they look cool.

I don't see a point in having the silencer beside the muffler.

The spring is just propping the trunk up for the show. They do that in VeeDub shows all the times. I don't know where it started, but people do it in shows. I don't see anything wrong with it.
