Indeed. Though I find it ironic that the album pics of it were taken at a cemetary :D

That thing is ugly! The blower just tops it all off. At least without it, he would have had a nice streamlined hood to fit that genre of car, but he had to try and fuse muscle with rice.

Who would spend that much on a Civic, anyway? Those upgrades had to be insane.

Hilborn style scoop
He has a street scoop, which is often used on blown applications, mostly in the drag racing arena and most often are not only blown, but alcohol injected. The implementation of that on that car is just BAD. It sits too high, and looks very out of place.

Thanks for pointing that out. I wouldn't have noticed otherwise. :p

I can't decide what's worse, the scoop for the blower that doesn't exist, or the yellow interior.

What blower? All he has is a scoop that doesn't do anything. It's as useless as the rest of the crap he's got on the car. He's probably added about 500lbs of crap to the car and ultimately made it slower. What a moron.

The asking price of $10,000 is about $9,999.99 more than I'd pay for it.

I dont know, I'd pay more than that for it... if only for the joy of watching it go into the car compacter.

Christ.

I also think smearing human fecal material on canvas isnt art, but apparent some people think it is. Technically, you can make a case for it being art, but when its that bad, its just not art. I'm sorry. Same thing for this car

You're right. I would pay slightly more than 0.01 for it. I'd drag it out to the desert (under a tarp of course-wouldn't want anyone to see me towing this POS) it would make a nice shooting target. Filling it with bullet holes...Now that would be fun!

I wish it told his horsepower and torque.... It is obviously lower than stock, that's why he isn't listing it. :D

artistic vision my ass,
the guy has no sense of design. The bumper is huge and angular, completly outta place. The wing is organic, compltely outta place also. The interior of the car looks like something from fisher price and the "blower" is just messed up

Well, all of you that are defending this POS start bidding because it looks like the most the rest of the internet in their infinite wisdom are not going to.

That thing is scary.

How the hell does he see anything out of the windshield? There's so much glare from the dash he must have to wear a welders helmet to see past it.

I'll give him credit that it IS definitely different. Although it just screams out "Break into me!"

HAHAHA, I wonder what part of Ontario he's from. I think that would be great to get the drive way cleaned out in the winter.


I wonder if anyone has stood beside it and yelled, "Help us Spiderman, the green Goblin is attacking us"


And yes the inside does look like he used the skin of Ronald McDonald...
