None of these cars are my cup of tea and some are downright fugly, but you gotta give props to the craftsmanship and the amount of work that went into them. The quality of this van is outstanding.

Yes, they get mad props for the effort. What they built is a freak show on wheels but they did it really well.

I'm so confused!


I don't understand why they all have the lines for the oil cooler way too long and just hanging out.

Of course I don't understand A LOT of other things about this either.

Gives a whole new meaning to "Jersey look". Wink

Definitely a ton of work involved in some of these creations.

yeah they're weird and a bit ugly, but I like them because they are well done and very unusual.

At least the body kits arent held on with zipties and duct tape. Somebody had to have some amount of skill and creativity to create these monstrosities unlike the rest of the punks drivin around in hondas with clamp on coffee can mufflers , taped on body kits, and "cold air" intakes

If I ever get a free honda I'll make one of these, it's going to be called Maximum Rice, and it will actually run on rice.

LOL @ the use of "salon" in any automotive realm... truly a word that sounds pussy in describing cars or a customization style.

There must be some crazy cocaine floating around Japan, or else they've just discovered methamphetamine.
