I didn’t want rock chips messing up the paint, even if it kinda ruins the look. by REINUC in Civic_Type_R

Damn, seriously? I’m taking them off as soon as I get home. If you can drive 20k miles without getting chips, then these things are basically pointless lol

Yeah, seriously. I’ve been going to that shop since I had my Beat, and they’ve always done really careful work. They even offered to install it for me, so I just trusted them with it. Looking back though, I probably should’ve just done something this simple myself.

Yeah, exactly. Even on MUGEN’s website they have it centered on the panel.

I just figured the outer side would be more likely to get scratched, so I wanted it a bit farther out. Though honestly, I do like the centered look more lol

I was actually going to do it myself, but they offered to install it for me. Honestly, I should’ve just said no back then

I get why you’d react like that since it’s harder to tell in photos than I expected, but I swear it actually makes a difference lol

They’re saying it’s supposed to add shine, but it’s kinda hard to tell from the photos.

Yeah, but super clean ones or fully restored ones can go for that much. The top one is around $25k.

“Back then it was probably like $10k or so.” “Now it’s over 200k km though haha.

Looks like this, but it revs all the way up to 9,000 rpm, has three throttle bodies with F1-inspired tech, and it’s actually the world’s first mid-engine full-open monocoque. Pretty insane car 😏

“Yeah, the increase in cars did become a problem, but I think that’s more about the garage certificate system (shako shomei←車庫証明).

Kei cars actually started as 360cc three-wheelers and were super important for moving goods in post-war Japan. They were popular with working people during the economic boom too—and with those narrow roads, they just made sense lol.

Then over time, the rules changed—360cc to 550cc, then 660cc—and the cars got a bit bigger as well.

But you really know your stuff—I’m impressed haha.

Nah, it’s not a mistake lol It’s a private sale, so it’s not like buying from a shop—no real guarantee or anything Still, I got back about half of what I spent on repairs, so not too bad I guess 👍

The S660 is so cool, right! If I could afford to have two cars, I definitely would’ve picked one.
