Yep. Especially for the mass produced 92-00 civics out there. I could see them having it being a 2 or 3 piece set so they could easily interchange between a sedan, coupe, and hatchback. All three body styles would share the same frontal engine area, but the 2nd or 3rd pieces would cater to the length of the car.
The shop seems to take pride in the appearance of the cars and being able to drive them under “normal” conditions. So doing things like a belly pan is very appealing to them as it adds value, but is not visible. It would also be a good opportunity for them to design grill blocks that would appear stock and other “classy” looking area mods.
