If you want to spice up your USDM Honda Civic but prefer not to be splashing your money on the exclusivity that the MUGEN Honda Civic Si Sedan gives you, perhaps you should take a look at Honda’s HFP Civic Si Sedan. basically a similiar deal – a 2007 Honda Civic Si Sedan kitted out with Honda Factory Performance (HFP) parts.
You get performance springs which lower the car by an inch, larger wheels with the same tyre size as the MUGEN Civic, a chrome sports muffler, and a bodykit. The HFP kit will cost US$3,800 with installation.
BTW, notice that the US market tastes do not particularly favor foglamps on the front bumpers. An example of how cars have to be localized to suit different needs.

Hmmm, looks kinda bland…
the front bumper looks weird to me…
high performance car with (rear) drum brakes? u must be kidding me..
damn dude look harder i own two 08s rear disc
front looks bad, rear has better lights than what we get here tho
any HONDA………. even the NSX looks SOFTIE bit,
looks like LADIES' stuff,
WHY…?
This one looks silly and half-hearted. I'd prefer the Mugen one…
can we actually own these cars? I mean, do HONDA malaysia bring in these USDM Civics? I've seen several with Modulo Kitted Civics on the roads… but this is better because not only the apprearance is good, the engine/suspension also being tweaked (Mugen's) for better performances
In China, a normal Civic looks like this??

I like the rear lamp and rims, but everything else just looks bland, the front bumper reminds me of a grass-cutting machine haha.
armandd, where got drum breaks? Are you sure? Look again… This is US laws we're talkin about, not Malaysian RTD.
The USDM Civic rear light got the Inspiration from Audi A4. In terms of design the westerner always the pioneer and Asian always copy from them. Never did I see BMW or Merc copy from others.
not sure I like this. I like the standard model better. Looks better too.
da car looks abit dull compare to da previous entry honda civic.
I love those wheels though…
the front bumper reminds me of Jay Leno's chin XD
mugen bodykits looks much power than this….
but its all bout da money…
