Always been a fan of Franklin's car, and the pics are pretty nice. What kind of lighting was used?

Why is it RHD?

Maybe I'm missing it but it looks like every other Civic, I don't see what's so special about it. Photography looks super nice and snazzy though.

RHD because it's a show car? Don't know really. He also has a K20/K24 motor swap with plans to add a gt35r.

Some day shots:

yeah, I like the concept, Idk if it would work with most cars but with the gold bay it definitely worked well. The only thing that bothered me is I think the car or the angle you shot it from makes the car look off center.

i agree. car is awesome. dont like the front wheel turn in most. but amazing car nonetheless

it was done more as a joke to mock how everybody these days fades the hood to see the engine

Hater haha! (messin)

Its not like its the best Civic in the world but the things solid no doubt. RHD conversion, K20, and clean! I don't think everyones jerkin to it like you may think. I just think that they are more showing appreciation towards the work done considering its just not another car lowered with rims.

I've never been a fan of EG coupes but this is def. a nice one! Great pics also!
