The brushed-finish paint looks great! The car…
All the aero parts are original products from Sound OG Style.
Polished to a shine, it looks more elaborate than it really is—it's mostly stock.
Voluminous Kaminari aero…
The whole car has a bold finish that pairs perfectly with the purple paint. Simple Racing Hart wheels complete the look.
Front, rear, side skirts…
The Accord's aero parts, from the front and rear to the wing, are all by Kaminari. The owner says he plans to keep modifying it, but it's already very well finished.

The metallic green paint stands out most of all. The Wing West front aero looks sharp too.

Racy aero gives it a sense of speed!
A simple but classic sport-compact look. Bright paint and aero define the exterior, while the muffler and air cleaner emphasize the engine. It looks good and still delivers on performance—a quintessential sport compact.
A VS duct-style carbon hood with pistons…
The VS carbon-look aero and wild, racing-style exterior make for a unified look.
Team OG Style
They're the Sound G Style team from Yokohama. Everyone showed up in matching coveralls; Mr. Suzuki on page 129 is one of their friends too.
The wheels, chosen to match the silver exterior, are by Versus…
Mr. Osawa

The substantial front aero is by Grand Design 2000, and the hood is carbon green.

The exterior's sportiness…
An engine swap puts the focus on speed.

Front and rear bumpers…
The exterior is fully US-spec!
Side skirts…
Even factory aero looks great on a Ferio. Except for the SiR wing, the front and rear aero parts are factory stock. The muffler and air cleaner, however, have been upgraded to DC Sports.
It has an H22A swap; the muffler and suspension are one-off Tanabe parts.
Everything, including the muffler and suspension, uses US-market factory parts. It's tastefully done—subdued enough for an adult driver.
A somewhat understated car, but this Torneo has a bold purple color scheme and vivid red neon tubes.

The exterior is…
The exterior keeps things simple, with a full set of Kaminari aero.
The chrome parts, like the wheels, really stand out. When asked…
They explained, ‘The purple color scheme and tinted film are meant to let the chrome shine.’ Wow, there's a lot to it!
Team Sweet Rouge
Team Sweet Rouge came from Ibaraki Town, Ibaraki. But I feel like I see them often at events around Tokyo too!
The rest of the exterior…
Nothing has been changed except the purple paint—that's how committed the owner is to keeping it simple.
