Plastic additions or welding in new metal to enlarge them?
Civic VTEC front arches are noticably wider then CRX VTEC ones.
I wonder if that's the case for all Civic arches, or just the VT ?
Cos if it aint all of them, there is the front sorted !

That to me or "4th-gen-ken"
If me then i'd cut the arches then weld on metal to extend them trying to keep the standard shape

Good to be different
Anyone had a bonnet hinge break before?
Opened my bonnet tonight and the passenger side went all loose (actually snaped off the hinge (the mount on the body, not the bonnet itself)).
On a plus side got alot more done on my side skirts and bonnet tonight.
Few short months and paint time
