<< That car on Alien's posted picture looks hilarious. Rice-boys has no respect nor brains... ugly 😉 >>


Sorry top break it to you but that is a TRUCK! No ricer ever mods a truck! That's a redneck's dream car. IMHO 😉
 
Looks like a photoshop job if i've ever seen one.
Look at the left side, parts are shiny and reflective, then parts are blurred. The blurred spots have the same angle as other parts of the left side.

Also, the jaggedness of the top of the trunk is a sign of a photoshop trick by an amateur. Atleast blur it a bit. No other lines in the picture, be it horizontal or diagonal have the jaggedness the top of the truck does.

 
I'm no photoshop expert but if that Honda-Vette is a fake, then it's a pretty good fake. I don't see the blurriness you referred to and I'm not convinced by the jaggy trunk line.

look at the reflections on rear left fender, you can tell there's a red car parked next to it. you can also see the parking line on the ground being reflect off the body. looks pretty damn convincing. and all the shadows look right where they're supposed to be.

That's a photoshop job. Look here.

Look at how blurred it is in those spots. I'd guess that the dual exhaust was already there, so they didn't have to mess with the shadow. They just laid the rear of a Vette over the rear of the Honda and smudged it a bit. That's not a very quality touch up job.

Edit: Also, the trunk lid doesn't square up to the body very well.

You may well be right, but keep in mind that the exhaust on this car is nothing like the stock Corvette exhaust (which has four tailpipes clustered tightly together in groups of two), and looks, quite frankly, more like two riced Honda tailpipes - to me this makes the picture more credible (though, again, I have no idea whether it is real).
 
Bobafett: that's what I was referring too.
I've seen quite a many photoshopped porn pics to know that this is one (photoshopped pic, not porn) and not too good one at that.
 
Yeah and the Color doesn't even match very well.

But how do we know the guy didn't just try to weld the rear end of a corvette to the front of a honda? And had a bad paintjob. I've seen crazier things.
 
I think the reason it looks fake is probably the 300 pounds of auto body filler the guy had to use in the process of making that beast.
 
Dammit, I don't know what to think. The fact that it's on the net already makes you wonder if it's fake. The heavy compression makes it hard to look for blur/stamp tool work. The alignment/angle of the rear end doesn't look right, but I can't tell if it's because of photoshop or sh!tty body work.

In conclusion, I don't know WTF is going on.

 
Well, if you look at the main page, it includes a large number of pics from some Texas car meet, including other heavily-modified cars like this one. The thumbnail page is here. On balance I am pretty sure this is real. Unfortunately!
