For a one off, it actually looks pretty good considering the amount of work that guy did into it from the article I read and the pictures. Other than the wheels and the seats, you have to admit the lines and everything flow decently and to create the whole outside look of the car with expanding foam into that....pretty impressive.

It's stands out alone as a one-off unique car that's not really bad looking at all IMO.

Thanks for posting that link... I completely forgot about that car and I definitely would not have realized that "before pic" was part of a work in progress. While I'm not a huge fan of the end result, I wouldn't classify it as "what not to do".

That would have been cool if it was a custom engine bay window design... I just don't see the appeal to having that as a paint job.

More love for hondas and something anyone that drives stick should never do. Never forget to leave the car in gear and most importantly never forget the brake

Not my picture but I just had to share it. The rest of the car is not that bad, other than the rims and the purple engine bay.
