How could they ruin an otherwise amazing car with that ridiculous spoiler? Walmart Civic, totally! I was going to say it looks like the kind you see bolted onto a rusted out 1995 Dodge Neon, the kind usually made of several different salvaged body parts of different colors, held together with bondo & duct tape. LMAO! I couldn't agree more with GMfan87's comment. How could they ruin an otherwise amazing car with that ridiculous spoiler? Walmart Civic, totally!

You can pull the A/C, rear seats, radio and speakers, navigation, airbags, carpeting, spare tire, headliner, power windows, swap the front seats for Recaros, and finally swap the hood for a carbon fiber one to save yourself a bunch of weight. Then take all the bolt on accessories that Active Autowerke sells and throw them on to up the power and get even MORE weight reduction. Finally, upgrade the brakes with some Brembos and STILL manage to keep the thing under $100k. $170,000?!?!?
