My $0.02: RUN from any modded car unless you know someone who can 100% verify that a complete moron didn't do the work... Sorry.

Re: thinking about buying this civic..
I agree. Run away.
First off, I would never buy a lowered car. They have a very rough ride, and tend to get damaged over big bumps, driveway entrances etc because they have no clearance. Also, its easy to mod something improperly, so it does not run right, will not pass emissions tests, and ends up being a massive headache. Finally, if this car is good as it sounds, it will very likely get stolen. Someone will see it, follow you home, and you will find it missing the next day. Even if you hang on to it, your insurance will be expensive and/or they will not cover you for the full extent of your loss.
