Aside from the fact that the Civic Type R looks utter shit to begin with, this “build” looks utter shit.

It looks like Jethro whipped out his sawzall and then threw in some sweet diamond plate he picked up from the trailer supply store. The Red Bull Mini Coopers were better-executed than this. I expect this to be owned by a rich kid and brought to a Saturday night shopping center parking lot car meet- not to be used as a promotional vehicle by Honda!

It gives me even more appreciation for Deviantcustoms’ Prelute. It looks soooooooooooooo much better than that trash Honda fabricobbled together.

Why in the world did they leave the spoiler in place? It looks super silly

At least they ruined a red one.

Why didn’t they at least paint that diamond plate black?

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > Tristan 05/27/2018 at 09:14

I’m just telling myself that this is a test bed for a future small FWD pickup that will actually not be stupid. If they made a FIT Caddy I’d be al over that.

Thanks Tristan, I totally missed this news cycle but appreciate the props. Very fitting that you wrote this post exactly a year after I bought the donor car =)
