Default so our exhaust tips are faced downward....

how did the owner of this car face it straight to fit screw-on tips? by trimming down the muffler tip to the point where it's straight??

well the dude looks like he has totally custom mufflers and custom resonated exhaust tips, he might have had to cut the bumper a bit to get clearange though.

that car looks pretty damn hot except for how low it is

Oh...I like those Wald Streifens!
Looks good lowered like that but I wonder what the real ride height is. Exhaust tips are nice too.

Lexkost cut the curved portion of his off and put a straight tip along with cutting out clearance on the bumper.

It's not a Civic, it's a Lexus. It doesn't need to scrape when it hits a pebble.

I agree with the obviousness of the air suspension.

That Lex looks beautiful to my eye.

those window visors are for smokers and is a factory oem accessory.

the exhaust does not look ghetto at all, compared to those huge unnecessary 3" pipe exhaust with horrendously huge canisters you see on hondas and stuff

A civic wishes it could attain a look like that only in its wildest dreams buddy. Anyway your entitled to your opinions, i just dont agree with them

dont assume its on air, the roads are much nicer over there and alot of people still use coilovers
