Five-hit combo!
First, the…
Audio setup
A clean, practical installation!?
The Amemiya emblem is Japanese tuning. Since Amemiya did not exist in North America…
The trunk has also been completely retrimmed in blue, with the amplifiers neatly laid out. Could you still carry luggage in it?

This obscure MX-6 has been transformed into a wild sport compact!
The MX-6's 2.5-liter V6 was not a particularly popular engine…
…which made this car stand out. The air cleaner and intake manifold are AC, the headers are HOTSHOT, and the ignition is by CRANE, refining the whole engine setup.
The 80-series Supra taillights have been swapped in. Both the choice of base car and the customization details make this a particularly rare build.
Three meter pods mounted in the door panels look smart both functionally and visually. Maybe doors are the next place to mount them, instead of the pillars?

MX-6
The aero kit is by TCS. The wheels are 18-inch VEO X. The emblems and headlights are JDM, giving this car an insider look.
The aero flows continuously from front to sides to rear, creating a smooth, unified look. Its stable shape also gives it a mature feel.

A sound system hidden beneath the hood. This distinctive style is from VeilSide's Japanese Ground Effect line, one of the brand's most popular ranges. The wheels are also from Andrew Racing F.
VOLOGY
Front-end styling unique to a mid-engine car. Since the engine sits in the trunk area, audio equipment such as the amplifiers goes under the hood instead.

Audio that contrasts with the low-slung exterior! The black lower section makes the car look lower, while the Civic-side graphic conveys speed beautifully. It is not an extreme custom build, yet this car still makes an impression.
The wheel-inspired subwoofer is the key detail! The trunk is laid out symmetrically in 3D to create a spacious feel. The wheel-design subwoofer is by MOMO—a rare touch!
The engine bay also stands out with the expected Optima YellowTop battery for a high-powered audio system.
