Way cool!

Hope I run across that car sometime when I make it up to Houston. Would love to see it up close and personal.

In that case functional, with no garage to back out of, wash and wax, then pull back in to sit until the next time for wash and wax.

Lookin good so far... all it needs is a different color primer front bumper, a fart can muffler, a big airplane wing on the back, and a HUGE tach on the dash to complete the look.

Oh yea... and an "R" sticker somewhere...

wow, that looks good, looks like a bad ***, which means it should not be on a civic. its a different style and sets the car apart in its own way, some people cant handle that.

That look can be pulled off on a high dollar exotic, on this car it looks like an old Corvette in primer.

I think it looks bad azz. I was in Germany about a year ago and saw a 6 series BMW that was painted flat black. I thought it looked great and wondered how it would look on a C5.
I'd like to see it with some polished wheels.
