Not a fan. Although I do like the shift knob.

I have to say, its rather tasteful for a 'custom' hack job. Except that big logo on the hood.

At least they just fubar'd a civic, I hate it when rich jerks ruin a classic or a something I really like such as an M3 or a 911. -- nothing against the civic, I just mean at least there a million more of them.

40,000 Invested?!

Must've been a typo.

40,000 Wasted.

That umbrella is awesome and completes the package. I'd bid on it, but the spoiler/wing is too small.

Bull****. The umbrella shielding you from those stars of death makes the ride. It just needs a 6 foot spoiler so it can go faster.

I just assumed all badass cars rode around like they were floating on a pillow of neon. I know my 1985 Caprice looks like it's floating on 3 hubcaps and some neon.

That's where you're wrong Mike. The umbrella is merely an allusion for the fuzz to believe the car is not going nearly as fast as it is. Kind of how large text can give uptight on-lookers the allusion that someone is yelling when, in fact, they aren't. This...car of the future, if you will, needs no spoiler. The Death Stars, if you will, give it an extra 100 horses and enough torque to make a Captain of an Aircraft Carrier spill his coffee...


Cheers

Said Captain would never approve a "fly-by".

If it didn't have all the FOB junk on it, I'd say that's one of the best custom jobs I've ever seen. The wheels are very cool, the ground effect kit doesn't totally suck (although I'm generally not a fan of those types of things), the interior looks great (I'm a sucker for two-tone interiors), and the stereo upgrade seems like it will sound good without being excessive. The Kick Mic shifter has to go, though...

Of course, it's all cosmetic... Personally, I'd go for the wheels and suspension (and probably stereo, too), and take the money spent on the interior to hop up the engine. I wonder what kind of performance mods are available for hybrids...
