Looks good! Nice color. Too bad they drilled your front bumper!

They drilled mine, too! Grrr! Oh well, front plate needs to be on there anyway, since I live in Cali.

so far so good, very nice.. i'm still waiting on mine

also, nice driveway

and... is the door misaligned or is that just the angle of the shot?

more pictures when you get time would be cool too

what are you even talking about?????

do you even own one???


Maybe you are just seeing the effects of *resizing* the photo - its shurnk and the quality isnt as good anymore. But I assure you that my doors are perfect and that I've never heard of this problem and that my doors close with equal light pressure or hard pressure - no alignment or calibration required to close. Not even a torque wrench!

whoa... dont take so much offense to my comment... first off... yes I own one... a white EX with navigation to be more specific.... and second... yes this is a common issue with 4 door civics.... it appears in this pic that it has the problem but i COULD be wrong due to the mentioned resizing... i have posted on this before WITH pictures... here they are




and here is a picture of your car


and here it is again using photoshop:


to verify and hopefully prove me wrong... look out the driver side mirror at the door line and see if there it is misaligned... if i am wrong... sorry to create such a stir... was not going at it with such intentions....

Sorry, its no biggie, I came home from a nice night out with my car, quite tired and saw someone trying to criticize my ride. I'm calm. It may be that the weather stripping isn't perfect, but I have yet to see a car that does have it. Anyways, my doors are fine - narry a problem with them.

Yeah, I could tell you were tired. How did you throw a torque wrench in with that argument? :gaygiggle

My doors don't seem to exhibit the same "problem". I'll take some pics and share when I get home tonight.
