Wow, I had been contemplating turning my front grill gloss black but really wanted to see some pictures of what it would look like. Definitely going to lok around my area and see if i can find a place that will do it now!.
Australia (and increasingly New Zealand) sources almost the entire Honda range from Thailand and the Civic should be released here mid this year. The 1.5L turbo engine will the be 173hp version.
Hopefully the hatchback gets the blacked out grill treatment as well.
Interesting that it has touring lights and wheels, but without sensing. I wonder if this is an alternate touring trim, and if this will have the new 6MT for the 1.5 Turbo. Also am loving the new spoiler. A million times better than the one now.
I agree with many on here, Chrome grill works better on darker colors, but colors like Silver and WOP would look very nice with this gloss black grill treatment.
The spoiler is a bit much, i prefer the accessory wing spoiler offers on the US Civic sedans, the Thai one just seems a bit too large. That said, i'm betting we could look to this for some cues about the upcoming Si Sedan (black out grill, larger/wider wing spoiler).
