Default Civic Hatch Crazy 20ga. Sheet metal Fabrication

I was just searchin ebay for civics and came across this peice of work. He claims that all the work was done professionally with 20ga. sheet metal. I've seen **** similar to this done with fiberglass but he claims its all sheet metal which makes sence seeing how clean all the lines are. I just think its way way waytoo much. But still kinda cool....if your into that type of thing

While I would NEVER do something like that to any vehicle, I suppose I have to respect the workmanship. It is executed well, designed well I suppose, and finished well. It looks like a spacecraft is all I can say though.

while others think it's stupid... i actually like it. i wouldn't buy it... cause it's someone's unique car. but.. i definately dig it. whoever made it had a lot of skills/time/money. i wonder how the interior looks.

Umm, I've actually seen that car in pictures 1.5 years ago from some meet in middle of Wisconsin. Same teal color, same rainbow-like wing, etc. They were actually on a memory card that got wiped by accident, then I had to recover them. Either its the same car, or some company actually has made a few of those rear-ends (I *know* the wing was exactly the same). In that case, I doubt the body is 100% sheet metal.

The two things I think are the most funny - the motor (all-motor d15 ftw!), and the scoops-gallore.

no man, its a group of us and we were just hanging out at the shop when he brought it by... the guy is in his late 40's... we were all looking at him like "did you seriously buy this thing and you're proud of it?"

i told him, i wouldnt have bought it but the work is top notch. the paint/bodywork is flawless just not my taste

I dunno why, but I think its funny they actually left the stock head/tail lights on this piece. I guess they didn't wanna be called a ricer for having altezza's and projectors
