Couldn't we only dream?



Also a few things I noticed;

-Dual Exhausts
-Fenders look to be flared just a little
-Side skirt and rear body panel aren't 'one piece'

It looks to only be cut. Something I've suggest long ago.

A lot of people have suggested that. As well 2 have already done it.
I just dont want to cut into my leased bumper but one already cut and professional done would be awesome except i wont have a dual exit so no point.

I'd much prefer a proper bumper and dual exhaust set up from factory. But I'm not afraid to cut..

Do you own an ILX?

I'll definitely do something down the line. Custom exit exhaust is in my future no doubt; Ive said this many times. Just nothing within the next 2 years.

Other changes I noticed...
- fully de-badged trunk/grille/wheels with "Honda" license plates (guess they don't want JDM peeps wondering WTF is "Acura")
- blacked out headlights and grille plenum
- different wheels

That Earth Dreams stuff is interesting, looks like Honda is moving into the realm of direct injected turbos:

http://www.autoblog.com/2013/11/19/h...-civic-type-r/

The 2.0L puts out 276hp. Same displacement as the ford st's engine with ~25 extra hp. Its getting it the WRX power range...

The fenders look a little odd to me. Especially in the third picture with the guy standing next to it.
