Props for the idea, but I think it was poorly executed.

Yea on the wrong choice of paint....maybe pearl white would have been nice.

[Nex]

what the hell HAHA pine idiots

[VooDooXII]

It'd work on a Mini...I think.

I guess he figured glass on the roof has been done by quite a few companies, carbon fiber on the roof has already been done by BMW...let's do it different!

I'm planning on doing my roof in granite actually.

[BIG WORM]

I hope he Thompsonized it...

[mocha latte cupcake]

F A C E P A L M ..... :no:

[DeeAOne]

like tdurr said, if it was a nicer brighter color, or closer to the wood color itself, it would look much better. as of now....hmm no. his car though so if he likes it then its straight. :goodjob:

[DUBSf22c]

EXACTLY what i was thinking

[Fr33way]

Wood is for boats...

[amandDA]

not on that car...

[Mr. Clean]

BOOOOO... i don't like it. it's a bit too far. cloth is one thing... wood is another.

[4uh8ers]

BOOOOO... i don't like it. it's a bit too far. cloth is one thing... wood is another.


Shoot mane, you need to take your targa top to go get wooded!!!! I say a dark cherry would fit you! HAHAHA. You gotta come over to the new house next weekend. We are gonna have dustin, ben, edlee, and all those fools over. I better see you there with your new wood top:crazy:

[BexSican 408]

its kinda tight. Deff different. Maybe my on my taffeta white FG 2?

[Nittanys1]

humm...some work went in to getting to to fit and look right...

[silvers2k]

i guess he didnt have enough money for carbon fiber

[qwick]

I approve.

[AnthonyF]

If the wood was darker, like a cherry or something. That would look sick. Also on the trunk and/or hood. Very sexy.

-Ant.

[Atlblkz06]

It sure is a helluva lot more original than ricing out a car!

[Danger Mouse]

wtf

[dz988]

it is different
maybe if it wuz like a darker woodgrain it would look better

That would be cool, but at the same time...I don't see it working on a car like the Honda. Maybe something boxier like a Mini I mentioned earlier...or an older Volkswagen Jetta/Golf...as I've seen they do crazy stuff with their cars.

[bandydesign]

humm...some work went in to getting to to fit and look right...

Its a sticker. Or at least a taped on veneer. He said that its fake and waterproof. I theorize that it is no thicker than a thick sticker.



Real wood can be properly integrated in a modern vehicle exterior...

http://www.finalsense.com/news/image/auto/edag-luv-concept.jpg


But this execution on H-T fails. The color of the car does not lend well with this wood grain what so ever.


Another example:

Keep trying ricers... your ideas might lure you from your perpetual failures.

..is that too harsh? Maybe he just wanted to get a feel for the idea with some cheap veneer before he decides to do a proper job. If that is the case then I believe he is trying to do some proper work. Until I hear this is or is not true I will give him the benefit of the doubt.

[JITB]

dam its hard owning a honda...this is what you all must resort too...lol

maybe he should stain the wood darker it would set it off a little.

i think im gonna wrap my roof in goat penis flesh...

[SPOOLIN]

the least he could do was Stain it. :crazy:

[kaotickaozpunk]

so much for theft..all they have to do is go through the roof...hahahha..that roof thing is stupid..who the f-u-c-k would ever want to do that...except that guy and the guy he bought it from:screwy:

[VooDooXII]

I thought ostrich skin/gator skin on rims was bad enough.

[oneSLOWex]

LAWL....holy thread resurrection batman

LAWL....holy thread resurrection batman
No kidding. I couldn't even see the pictures that were of discussion. Lol.

[Brian*]

NO... That is all*

[BobbyFresco]

Vw trends need to stay Vw.

[big mac]

idk man i might pick up a used hood and try it

[speedminded]

Why the hell you gotta link that god forsaken website, why not hot link the photos or attach them to the post! I don't want to give them the hits lol!

I hate the replies more than the creativity of veneering a car with wood. "Better than every other honda that paints their roof black or overlays it with carbon fiber just because it's "JDM" .." The stupid bitch Ms. Sheila that said that needs to be kicked in the mouth...hell anyone referring to JDM on anything other than OEM honda parts not found in the US needs to be curb kicked, JDM is not a style and it's not a trend.


With a dark paint job i would have used a zebrawood or an african blackwood veneer instead. Pine is too country for an import lulz.

[ej6kidd]

eww yuke

[Nang]

guess ima have to try it...

[singhondeck]

its diffrent..

[FliPPYFloP]

props for being diff

[speedminded]

so much for theft..all they have to do is go through the roof...hahahha..that roof thing is stupid..who the f-u-c-k would ever want to do that...except that guy and the guy he bought it from:screwy:You think a roof with sheet metal a couple mm thick is any harder to get through than wood? Punch a hole in it with a screw driver and you can cut the entire thing off with tin snips in seconds.

I'm sure the wood is a veneer overlayed on the metal anways. Wouldn't have to worry about hail damage with a wood roof! haha! :doh:

[N/A EK]

he should do some hardwood floor now instead of the carpet inside or something lol.... not feeling it @ all, looks stupid.

[Black4DrEK]
