the price can very with the quality and brand of the parts. for instance, you can get an exhaust pretty cheap, but if you had a civic and wanted mugen exhaust, then youre going to pay an arm and a leg. also, different body kits are different prices, such as veilside, their kits are really expensive.

Where I come from, people pimp out Civics that you know that they spend more on the system alone than on the car. There are a million car clubs around here and they even let one club be in the high school homecoming parade... It's sad, people race their cars on "the avenue" and it's so bad that there is "unessacary repetative driving prohibited" signs all over, so the cops can ticket you if you drive the same stretch twice in one hour. This has been going on LONG before Fast and the Furious came out, but it has made some think that they are cool by slapping a Nox sticker, VTEC emblems, Asian script, tinting, and tail-pipe covers on everything from Honda CRX's, old Civic hatchbacks, and god-forbid, Ford Taurus'. The cars don't even go that fast, they just want them to "look" fast. It's an epidemic...

Okay. So my recently stolen/recovered/ruined car WAS a Civic. My sister has one and my brother has one too. We all three got them within several months thanks to dear old dad (um...they were "later model" used, so don't even get excited that my dad is rich or something to buy 3 brand new cars...yeah right!). Anyway, I love Hondas in general because they rarely have problems.

But I digress...my point is: My brother's car is totally "riced out." That is what people call a civic that is full of all the after-market add-ons and extras. However, it is a derogatory term (pertaining to the asian aspect), meaning that the car is not necessarily race-worthy, rather, it just LOOKS like it is and SOUNDS like it is (fat exhaust pipe thingy, different wheels and wheel covers, LOUD sound system, etc.). He watches people race, but his car is not fast enough to actually race with. People do race those things. It's sick. That's probably why my car was stolen...to sell parts to idiots who mess with their cars.
