grossssssssssssssssssssssssss

yetijeff · 04-03-2013, 07:41 PM

I admire the craftsmanship and the time, effort and skilled required to do this. That being said... Not really my style. Too much. Although it would be a bit cleaner IMO if it wasn't the whole car, just the wing or the hood.

future · 04-03-2013, 07:56 PM

There is a reason why it's never been done before

Banana_Cute · 04-03-2013, 08:35 PM

just like that R32 skyline.

Z_Spool · 04-03-2013, 09:18 PM

Yeah, I snagged a bunch of pics of it at SEMA for the same reasons... Amazing work, but not something I'd want to drive. I'll upload some in a bit.

240boi115 · 04-03-2013, 09:39 PM

holy crap!!!!!!!!! waaaaay toooooo muuuuuch!!! but it is cool. lol kinda reminds me of a hotwheel toy id see... not something id want to drive... that many hours into the civics power department instead of looks, couldve produced a honda god xD

*fliprayzin240sx* · 04-03-2013, 10:07 PM

He wanted to be different but used an EG hatch, one of the most common cars in the states for a canvas?

vas13hatch · 04-03-2013, 10:12 PM

The way I see it is, it's a piece of art. I mean a civic aint worth shit as a car but as a rolling billboard for what kind of engraving type work this guy can do, it does well.

MY thoughts exactly!

silverarrow27 · 04-04-2013, 10:36 AM

Seen a similar or same Civic 2-3 yrs ago all over the interweb or maybe magazines?

theboy · 04-04-2013, 11:05 AM

So did these companies he engraved into the side of his car compensate him for his work? Or did he add them, all over his car might i add, for no reason other than to be a typical honda owner rocking copious amounts of gay stickers?

Probably sponsored parts, engraved their logos to follow the theme rather than use stickers.

bigs · 04-04-2013, 11:15 AM

Didn't know Vanilla Ice was so good at engraving

K_style · 04-04-2013, 11:19 AM

Whatever make you or the owners happy...

joshchewuhh · 04-04-2013, 11:27 AM

it would look better if he didn't advertise companies. looks lame and tacky.

unseen-forces98 · 04-04-2013, 01:35 PM

wack ass car

nomoremk2 · 04-04-2013, 01:35 PM

Koi fish, dragons and a rising sun on a Honda has to be the most out of the box thing I've ever seen.

It to so long to finish the engraving, that engraving was out of style when he was done.

zenkiset · 04-04-2013, 03:07 PM

gotta admire the talent the guy has, but like others have said, not something i'd wanna drive around.

Well, he isn't done yet, or so it says in the article. He is also gonna add color to the engraving to make certain areas 'pop'

STR8 H8N · 04-05-2013, 08:07 AM

“The Rear Tow Hook fully hand engraved on both sides. Total hand engraving time was roughly 40+ hours.”

“The Front Tow Hook also took another 40 hours.”

ch1873857 · 04-05-2013, 08:41 AM

^ true. 40 hrs is a week of work. at that rate. either hes broke or the engraving cost 1000+ for 1 tow hook

not to mention how tacky this really looks. Monster? Password JDM? Seibon on EVERY panel. ran out of ideas. creativity is lacking. skill is there.

completely. whats the difference between his engraving and a fuckin sticker. its tacky. the rest is just filled in with a basic tribal pattern. Nothing very intrique or unique. wow. he has tire tread on the roof. woot woot. epic waste of time and skill

*!Zar!* · 04-05-2013, 10:19 AM

I think it's cool for what it is.

Aroddalobster · 04-05-2013, 07:11 PM

the effort and time put into it, i really respect. execution... ehh..

i wonder if it's going to get covered in rust the next time it rains/gets humid.
