That vehicle is pretty ugly. The work itself is impressive, though.
Also, it appears to reside in Connecticut. I feel like it's my sworn duty to locate it and take more pictures...

I have to agree with most, very impressive work. fit n finish looks great, very clean.
It's too bad such talent couldn't have been channeled into something a little more.......... appealing. Someone's got a bright future though.

I've been thinking about this. The idea had potential. Here's what needs to change, IMO:
1. The rear. Use the entire TSX taillights or don't use them at all. The truncated light section looks like shit and it looks too big, square and blank back there. Paint the lower valence black to match the vehicle's roof.
2. The front. JDM bodymatched hoodtrim and proper Mugen grille. TSX bumper with USDM A-spec lip, not the abomination bodykit which is on there now. JDM headlights.
3. Wheels. Much lower offset and not chrome. Something gunmetal, bronze, or black, with aggressive fitment and tires.
The above, done properly, would make this thing look infinitely better.

LOL i think i know the guy who owns that. I havent seen his car in a few years, but last time i did see it he had just picked up a white integra and molded tsx rear lights (just the outside portion) into the trunk. If it is the same kid i am thinking of he does INCREDIBLE work on cars. I'll admit that this one isnt my cup of tea but you gotta respect the time that went into that thing. He does ALL his own work. He and this other kid used to have a body shop and they built a purple del sol for some kid that won some pretty decent sized shows. His old car (a white civic) was out of this world. You couldnt tell what kind of car it even was. I wish i had pics of the old car. The kid he had the shop with had a red civic hatch with cts headlights/grille and it looked mean as hell.
Acuratsx228: do you know where these pics came from or are you just reposting something you saw somewhere else? I would love to know if thats the kid i am thinking of. Between the CT plates (i grew up in CT), the apt. building that looks exactly like a building in the town he most likely lives in, the tail lights and the amount of work in that thing I would really be surprised if it wasnt the guy i know.

Here is the link, i think this conversion would look a lot better on a 98-01 honda prelude.
