do what ever you want as long as it doesn't lve your civic stained in the rear. seen a lot of Civics, Acuras, and Preludes like this from the exhaust pipes being right on the bumper and that looks f**king ugly....
Don't worry about being a ricer, do what you you want with your car, don't care about what others on the internet say. If you're happy with you put on your car, that's all that matters.
