OFFICIAL "CLEAN" 8th Civic picture thread

The "definition of clean" thread in the water cooler got me thinking...

We should have a thread with only clean 8th gen Civics in it. s2ki has one, and it turned out to be full of sex on wheels.



To most people, the term "clean" basically means:

- NOT bone stock

- No crazy body kits that drastically transform the look of the car. Some body kits are ok though, just as long as they are subtle.

- No CF body panels unless they are painted.

- Yes, you must be lowered. You don't have to be slammed, just lowered.

- "Name-brand" aftermarket wheels aren't a necessity, but definitely help out a lot. Sorry, but stock wheels don't make the cut.
I don't give a **** how many other mods you've done. If you car still has stock wheels, it's not "clean".

- Tons of stickers are not considered clean. A few here and there are ok most of the time though.



I'm sure most of y'all get the basic idea. If I'm forgetting anything let me know.

Let's get the pictures flowing...

great idea for a thread. Clean and simple is exactly what I love.

This thread isn't for arguing about the definition of "clean". There's already one for that, and I'm sure most of the people from it would agree that for a car to be clean, it has to be lowered some. This is a picture thread. Let's try to keep the arguing to a minimum.
I agree 100%.

To avoid arguments it might not be a bad idea to make some more specific guidelines since the definition of clean varies from one guy to the next.

Alright I didn't want to be that guy that claims his car as this or that, but I guess I have to live up to my plates, haha









I try

Here's the one from the "definition of clean" thread. I think most of us will agree that it fits the description pretty well...





And for anyone who thinks that their own personal car might be clean, don't be afraid to post pictures of it in here. It's hard for picture threads like this to be successful unless there are members posting up some of their favorite pictures of their own cars.

Glad to see this thread is getting somewhere

Here's a few that I found:











They were all taken from threads on this site so I'm hoping none of the owners mind me posting up pics of their cars...

I don't see why stock wheels don't make the cut?

Wheels make or break the look of a car. Yes you can have stock wheels but it doesn't stand out like aftermarket wheels do. There are countless cars on here that look good with stock wheels so I'm not dogging them.
