Have you ever looked through the neuspeed catalogs honda section?  They
offer plenty of bolt on mods that parrallel things offered for our VW's. 
I have a friend with a accord that handles real nice for stock.  I have
another friend with a CRX which has a nice suspension and nice enough
power to boot.  Honda's are good cars!  just because some honda owners do
stupid looking mods to have a "phat ride" doesnt mean they all suck. 
What about the VW's with same things done?  Are you going to hate VW now
too?

Some people have cars for other reasons than us.  Not everyone care about
