It is well known that things always get worse! Fancy body kits, crazy paintwork and flashy interiors are actually not that new on a Japanese car. Especially not in the 90s. Not for nothing have terms such as "ricer“An integral part of the tuning scene. But this 1996 Honda Civic spans the curve quite a bit. We are sure that the builder spent a lot of time "creating" the Civic like this. But we are also sure that over 90% will claim that he could have saved himself that too. The vehicle was wrapped in a Cadillac White Metallic and received an extensive fiberglass body kit all around. These include new front and rear aprons, wheel arch extensions, side skirts, etc. The front received Nissan Skyline headlights of the R34 generation and even a set of closed BMW M3 kidneys and a hood with quick-release fasteners is installed.

BMW kidneys from China?

The bonnet with power dome and air opening is of course also custom and the rear-view mirrors in the form of two hands on the right and left are particularly spacey. When looking at the rear view, one could at first glance suspect a Mitsubishi Lancer with a set of Lexus SC430 taillights and a square recess for the tailgate. The catastrophic rear end is rounded off with a diffuser and two "air scoops" for the tailgate. So far, nobody has come up with the idea of ​​the "rear" scoop. And of course a set of ultra-ugly chrome rims was not to be missed. And then there is the cabin. Here, too, there are various "hands" to be seen, which probably suggest a certain fetish of the owner.

everything is red and full of hands inside

Most of the interior is painted red and by the way, the instrument cluster has been moved to the middle and a Pioneer CD radio has been installed in its place. Sure, that's much more important than keeping an eye on the speed or the fuel gauge ^^. Various changes have also been made to the four-cylinder engine with an AEM cold air intake, a new cylinder head and a "continuous" exhaust pipe. The result? Suitable for our Tuning Fail Category.
