StanceMiami is proud to bring you this sleek and simple allurement. Jorge Rodriguez from Kendall, FL spent a year and a half creating this 2010 Honda Civic masterpiece.

His inspiration came from a Cali crew called “Royal Origin” and, at first, Jorge couldn’t resist the urge to throw on some JDM emblems. After that, he was hooked! He spent a lot of time researching parts and deals; trying to avoid the obstacle of money, in his own words, Jorge was “balling on a budget”.

His first investment was a set of Tork Revos. As things progressed, this civic has gone through 4 sets of rims and is finally sitting on 17x9 +25 Hyperblack Rota grids. He also added:

Exterior:

8k low beam H.I.D
NOKYA hyper yellow daytime light/high beams
Full Hfp lip kit
Godspeed coilovers
Reds BEAKS Lower tie bar
SBC RPF1 17x9 +22
Motegi burning blue Lug nuts
Weathertech window visors

Interior:

J's Racing Type R steering wheel emblem
Interior multi color LED kit
REVO Broadway mirror

Engine:

Mugen oil cap
Fujita CAI
Custom 2.5in Cat back with burnt titanium muffler

Wheels:

17x9 +25 Hyperblack Rota grids

Just like any car fanatic, Jorge would get a part for his car and say he was done, but then change his mind as he thought of additional mods.

Jorge’s plans for the future are simple. There may be some plans for some interior work and, of course, he does plan on getting a new set of rims.

Honda enthusiasts are a curious bunch. The moment a person embarks on their quest to modify their Honda, they almost instantly become hooked; it's almost like a sickness of some kind. Even though every car enthusiast has their own opinion, everyone can appreciate a clean 8th gen Si.

Four years ago, Jovannie Quiles from West Palm Beach, Florida became the first owner for this '08 Honda Civic Si. Garage kept until 2010 with 17k miles, Quiles tried experimenting with several wheels while choosing springs for suspension.

After a while, I started to see the stance game go crazy, so I decided to go that route with the Si.

Quiles took about 3 months to finally get wheels and full suspension on the car, and the stance look he was going for was finally complete.

After the build I started to go to several car show events at Palm Beach International Raceway and people showed me a lot of love for my Si, but with that love came plenty of imitators. Now seeing a lot of these cars built the same way, bigger plans are to come in the near future.

There's no doubt that most people have their preconceived notions about civics. But despite whatever prejudices you may or may not have, this car has curves anyone can appreciate. I like to think of it as a clever mix of performance and unique styling that stands out anywhere. It's the unique things that people do to their cars that get attention and respect. Well done, Jovannie!
