Actually I completely disagree with RS being behind the curve in releasing the 2000 Civic model body. If you will note, at least one of the other cars is a 1997 body style. Releasing the 2000 model year was most likely intentional after the creators of the XMOD did some research similar to the research I did before purchasing my full size Civic.
The 2000 Civic is the last year that Honda made a civic with certain suspension components that made it desireable vs. the newer Civics, as well as in the sport compact real world the Civics that are heavily modified are actually mid 90's. Most Civic enthusiasts will agree that USDM civics made after 2000 are for the most part garbage. JDM Civics, ala Type R, are another matter all together.
I speak from experience. When I purchased my full size 2000 Honda Civic Coupe (black, and exactly the same body style as the xmod version) I did so after doing a great deal of research on Civic models and decided the 2000 was the best model year for my modding purposes (engine swap, upgrades, etc etc).
