[twix]

Hi,
Ive been quearying my 3rd braincell for hours now and can't figure out what the exact year of this civic hatch is. I figured you guys no what you are talking about so could anyone let me know please =D

(6th Gen) Its a 96-98 hatch.

 

[MessGSR]

yup its a 6th..

 

[LatinEM2]

a 6th gen

 

[imracin101]

5th gens have more of a curved back

cheers guys Quicker than i expected

It was the headlights that was confusing me, some are really big and some are smaller like the headlights on thiat one...or have they just been modded?

 

[lkailburn]

it has aftermarket headlights with thin eyelids on them.

its obviously a 6th gen, but [civic] why did you exclude 99-00? they could have swapped the amber tails on?

Thats true..I was going from what I saw first so that came to my mind.

I was ready to say 96-00 civic too.

6th has the wide headlights whereas 5th has the small ass ones! LMAO! A guy I work with has a red hatch like that. He's gonna paint it bright yellow. Interior is already painted yellow and blue. looks good and can't wait to see the finioshed product. Oh yeah, I'm tryin to get him to swap for a b16 or b18c1. Still has stock DX engine. BLEH!

Has he added 5thgen headlights to it then? (or other aftermarket ones)

Hmm, yellow and blue - I take it he doesn't like to be missed

Those are 6th gen lights but it has 1st generation aftermarket projectors. There are also eyelids on the lights so it looks small.

 

[Mr. Lin]

The headlamps are a dead giveaway.
