the car is emaculate, and has a parts list that would make most of the hondatuning cover cars cry for.

But in my OPINION it does not look that good. Hole in the hood, mismatched engine bay color, stripped rear interior without removing the sound deadning, random camo door cloth that does not match any part of the theme of the car.

You can have all the parts in the world put on your car that does not mean they all go together.

Sure its more money that I would/can dump into a car I still dont like it.

I saw this in the latest issue of Hondatuning. My takes

J32 swap = teh hawtsex. Makes me wanna steal the J35 from my girlfreind's car.
The wing = yucky. Spoon duckbill would be hot.
Camo door trim = yucky.
Hole in hood = this is not too bad since it fits the engine perfectly. I maybe woulda made a customer cowl hood or just put a hump over it, but it looks good none the less.
Engine bay = meh, too each their own.

I like the wheels on this and the guy put a lotta work into it. Props.

It's all about power to weight ratio and suspension set up ... that car looks to offer a lot of both. Really like what this guy focused on.

It just has too much going on in with the engine bay, exterior and interior. Everything is too busy and clashes. Trying to take '90's FnF styling and trying to put a 'JDM-ish' touch to it just doesn't work.

I have to agree, Andy's ITR kills this hatch.

Mid 14s for me, seeing as though I weigh at least double. BTW, you do know those times are on a stock motor, right?

I'm not trying to start an e-fight, but I don't think either one would be "dragging the other down the street"..

yes i know that's what they run all motor seeing as the aftermarket for that that motor sucks which is why people do a lot of custom work to them. what are you talking about when you say "either one would be dragging it down the street?" i wasn't talking about my car. i was talking about the builds i've seen in honda tuning.

peace. love. jesus.
