First, thanks to everyone for participating, and congratulations to the winner, powerneedy!


We’d like to explain briefly how we arrived at our decision. The criteria were pretty simple: Look for the car with the most well-rounded list of modifications that appears as though it could actually benefit from the parts we’d be giving away. We also asked for quality photos to help make our decision easier and the answers to a few trivia questions just to make sure the potential winner was somewhat familiar with Skunk2.


The decision was tough, but powerneedy’s Integra proved to be the combination we were looking for: excellent attention to all aspects of the car, quality parts used throughout, a need for the parts we’re offering, and photos good enough that helped us make our decision.

Thanks again to all who participated and to Honda-Tech for hosting this!

congratz! very nice competition car, but as expected, someone who could pay for the parts got them. shouldve gone to someone who couldnt afford them but needed parts for a rebuild or something.

It's how the rich get richer.

Nice car though, I can see why it got picked.

Step 1: Hold car contest for parts.
Step 2: Pick car that already has all the parts it needs.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit.

Most people understand that this was a contest, not a charity. Perhaps our next one will be based on something other than the contestants’ cars.

Always the professional company. How's your next slander video coming?

Also, don't pretend like holding a contest to give away free parts doesn't make you money in publicity. It's called 'acceptable loss.'

car is rad, looks like the owner is actually going to put the car to use, not simply hard park it... from the looks of his build thread he has worked really hard on his car. Seems like no good gesture can be done by the folks at Skunk2... no matter who they decided to give the parts to the cry babies would have no choice but to post something hateful...

Here is his build thread, I guess nobody can work hard on a car and be recognized, hater go'n hate...

No hate for the car. Just the promotion in general.

Congrats winner. As for the contest I thought it was setup for cars that needed the parts or could use them. Well if there is a next contest Skunk2 could you do it for the cars that need those parts or put a limit stock cars or close to stock. chances are if a person like that wins you guys win customers too.

Chances are this guy will sell the parts he gets to buy something he actually wants/needs.

so you're not happy about a company trying to make a nice gesture and giving back? In the original thread it states that the give-away was a partnership with Honda-Tech and Skunk2... which means you should be upset with Honda-Tech also... hell, maybe there won't be anymore promotions since this one seems to have gone so sour... seems like no matter the choice was people would be upset.

This contest is almost 100% guaranteed to make Skunk2 money in new customers because of good publicity and raising public awareness. Almost assuredly, InternetBrands gained new traffic to Honda-Tech.com due to this contest (thus resulting in more ad revenue).

I'm not saying giving things to people for free isn't nice -- but lets look at it for what it truly is: marketing.

Crap, more whining in here than a nursery! Get over it, stop being jealous and complaining because you didn't win.

Thanks to Skunk2 for giving away free stuff, always a nice gesture!
