There is just so much fail with this car it hurts to know he now has an 8. :icon_no2:

Was it supposed to look like that?

Here's a few I have found recently.

These first two are from the local Wal-Mart parking lot. What an awesome place to find pics for this thread. It's kind of hard to see, but there are flames coming off of the rear fenders as well.

Sorry about the quality of this one it was a quick pic as it was passing by. Note the painted rear drum.

This one I saw as I was leaving a restaurant. It had parked right next to me as if to say, "add me to this post" :) My wife snapped the pic as we were leaving. Yes it does have some serious sparkle in the paint. Didn't the pop-out wheel look go out about 10 years ago or so? Well strike that, in my book it was never "in" in the first place.

Oooh, nice finds, especially on the third one. It looks like hes got no tread on the tires either. I assume they're slicks, and hope its not just from excessive rubbing!

P.S. Stretchedddddddddddd Rubber

Saw this guy out on the road. Had my camera with me.
I didn't capture it in it's full glory, but the hood on this thing was about a foot tall where the scoops were. Civic EX pow'ah!!!

Oh man... that's the Black Widow hood from Ground Designs 2000. I remember that thing from way back in the day. I haven't seen one of those ...well... since 2000

Wow. I would have never known what kind it was... funny thing is, I see you're from San Antonio. I took this pic on I35 just north of San Antonio. They must have been popular there. haha

romycha1 03-13-2009 11:33 PM

Yeah, I remember when that kit came out, everyone was buying the hood. But I haven't seen anyone with that in a long ass time.... That looks like a JC Whitney spoiler too.

UNREAL the amount of wheelgap goin on. It's like a cross between lo pro tires and raised fenders... how could you possibly drive around in that thing?

4X4 at its finest...

WantedTwo 03-14-2009 01:54 AM

Yup that would be the one. I thought about posting the exhaust that is on his 8 as proof that he's going to rice out the 8 too :(

TheAbsence 03-14-2009 03:43 AM

Whoa you weren't kidding on that wheel gap.

No slicks. Look at the car parked next to it in the pic. Its just a shitty phone pic.
That streatched look on that kind of wheel is what latinos have been doing for a long ass time.

the liscense plate on the neon is awesome but it also had hemi badges on the sides. i know neons can be mopar (srt4) but this one def wasn't even close.

the focus just had those tailights and no exhaust at all.

there are normally a lot of haggard cars like this in northern mi but apparently people are storing them for the winter.

endowdly 03-18-2009 08:30 PM

so i'm seeing a lot of awesome cars for this thread down here at ft. benning. you see some great shit on veteran's highway between AL and GA.

i'll get some more pictures.

the best yet: a silver civic ex with bad black wheels with chrome lips and this baby blue front body kit bumper that doesn't even fit well. if i see it again i'll have my camera ready.

fannin522 03-24-2009 12:38 PM

I'd like to take a serious moment to talk to you about bondo and paint matching, both of which look like were done in the persons driveway. The entire front bumper looks god awful, you can see where little clumps of bondo weren't sanded and brushed away before he began spraying on the paint way too thick to the point of having drips.

Also filing the ricer checklist, Rims, Japanese writing, I'm guessing those are those alteza headlights the kids are talking about, and he appears to have the sponsorship of several countries. Must be a rising star in motorsports to have sponsorships from both Japan, America, and wherever else.

I didn't check if he had a fart can. I'm assuming so, seeing as he had the chinese dragon autozone seat covers.

jstieber 03-26-2009 10:46 AM

you'd think such a rising racing star would have a nicer car...apparently there is something to civics we never realized and we should all stop bashing them.....ahahaha....or keeping bashing them, especially ones like this.
