Honda Accord Type-S

Auto Customization Tech Tidbit #204325
Why buy aftermarket bodypieces new when you can find them used? Pieces can regularly be found dirt cheap is scrap yards. Pieces are usually made specific to different makes and models - but not to worry. Just heat it with a blowtorch and mold it to fit! Worried about how to mount it? Installation not lining up properly? The answer is simple - again heat the piece until molten, and affix it to your current bumper. Allow appropriate cooling time and avoila! No fussy screws or bolts!


PLEASE NOTE - Abandoning the favoured "Type R" emblem, this owner has affixed a "Type S" emblem. So many people make fake Type R's now, to see a Type S emblem you just have to automatically assume it's the real thing. Also, the chrome chain license plate cover gives the car an extra shot of testosterone.

Total Eclipse of the Viper


You know, when people ask me what would make a Viper GTS look better, my automatic first response is always "cheap chrome "Euro" aftermarket taillights from a Mitsubishi Eclipse". I mean, what suits an semi-exotic sports car better than cheap molded plastic taillights bought at Canadian Tire that sort of resemble spider eyes?

Chevrolet Z-10

It's a little known fact that before the SSR Chevrolet was toying with the idea of a sports car truck. And here is the photographic evidence. Note the Z28 Camaro front end seamlessly blending into the cab of the S10. A pure masterpiece. Of course I'm kidding and this is just some poor hick's heap of trash. Or am I...


*EDIT* - on closer inspection, this is actually a Nissan Hardbody truck with a Camaro front end grafted on. Which I guess makes it much much worse.
