Looks like the JDM version... perhaps it just a body mod by the owners?

I wish I could find the door pulls they use over there. They have a chrome top like Mercedes. And the molding has chrome integrated in it.

To the best of my knowledge, this is how the Civics look everywhere else in the world except North America. You can get this JDM body style in Canada by buying the Acura CSX.

The tail lights are gorgeous too, more Altezza/Skyline-looking.

Those are covers that fit over the painted handles. There is also a chrome trim set for the door frames and the B pillar and for the trunk trim. I believe that the guy that I bought my door sills from in Hong Kong sells these trim pieces.

No, the JDMs have this half chrome door pulls.. I have seen the plastic chrome door pull covers on ebay and I don't care too much for them. They stick on with double-side automotive tape...

Thank though

LOL,


Just like spinner said. At the exception of the wheels and the front badge this could pass as the standard issue Acura CSX sold in Canada. Chrome handles and all.

You folks ought to travel north a little once in a while.

So, I"ll come clean. That picture is from a posting on a Honda enthusiast site from Singapore. They have a Hybrid forum, and everyone should be flattered that our board is quoted several times. For some reason, other folks think were are some sort of experts......

You need an account to visit it, but it is an interesting read. There are also links to Civic sites in Thailand.

Are you saying the Acura CSX in Canada has the chrome door pulls?
