The Celica is popular! Don't count it out! Still, Honda's popularity is strong. The Civic in particular has a loyal following. EG-series cars are especially good bases for customization and tuning, helped by their low used-car prices. This car is a perfect example. The exterior, engine, and audio are all thoroughly built out. Choosing the right parts matters for a show car, but this one wins people over with its overall balance and style. A seriously compelling machine! Maybe it is the mature approach to customization…

The embodiment of show-off excess

In a way, a more grown-up custom build…
Actually…
The engine is amazing, too!
Monitors…
Triangle!
…or maybe that's what it is?
What man could resist the mysterious delta zone—the triangle? Whatever the reason, check out the three-monitor layout!!
The engine bay has a Garrett T3/T4 turbo and reportedly makes 220… in a low-boost setup. It is also tuned for practical street use…
…they say.
The rear wing is the expected APR unit, adding aggression to the coupe's gentle shape. The wheels are by 5ZIGEN.
The interior is coordinated in yellow, too. Black and yellow throughout the interior and exterior create a strong unified look!
You might think it's an Impreza, but it's a heavily customized Neon.
At first glance, this heavily modified Neon could pass for an early-model GD Impreza. The previous generation was officially sold in Japan, but this current version was largely overlooked there. Built as a Japanese-style sport compact, it would look remarkably fresh, wouldn't it?

In the tight trunk…
A powerful audio system is installed
Amplifiers are packed tightly into a trunk that is hardly spacious. But this is a show car, after all—the key is the style!
Despite the deep front bumper, Kaminari's aero kit is cleverly shaped to look sleek.
