As I have been designing a theoretical Kamm-back for my hypothetical Civic HX, I wanted to make something that would work for all Civics of that generation, but I found out that the coupes and sedans have different trunks, rear windows, and roofs, and the rear window has a different angle.

I really do not think that universal Kamm-backs are feasible.

Maybe ElPants21 can make us some universal wheel covers, at least for each wheel size, number of bolts, etc.
