Yeah that's cool and all and I'm glad for the owner, but frankly I'm tired of seeing Civics on these shows. I wish they would do an S2000 or an Integra so people could see the performance oriented side of Honda/Acura.


On the other hand I am a little bitter that I'm missing a whole years worth of shows...

Foose > anything

Car turned out pretty nice. Too much going on with the triple stripe thing. I like the extention for the trunk how it just blended in. Jojo Calos did the motor build up. Engine bay was SUPER CLEAN and purdy!

Interior had carbon fiber fabric of some type.

Perhaps you are right... some shows do get a little carried away. Pimp My Ride for example does pretty much ruin otherwise good cars.

But I just think it would be nice if Honda could be recognized for it's more powerful and manuverable cars. And S2K has the potential to be a pretty fast car on or off the track, and it's not that a Civic can't be fast, but the Civic image is just worn out. That's my take on it.

Oh and the front and rear bumpers were morphed into something.

Foose took two different bumpers and molded them together. Pretty cool.
