Its like:


Him- Look at that gold turd!
Me- yep, that’s a good turd.
Him - he spend 60k gold plating that turd.
Me - He sure did.
Him - Don’t you appreciate the time and money?
Me - It’s a gold turd.


When I was 13, I went to Spain with my parents. While we were there, we went to an art museum. Going through the museum I came across a painting that was a 15ft x 5ft sheet of canvas. It was completely blank, with a single black dot (1cm in diameter) in the center of it. Under the painting along with the artists name and painting's name was it's value. 3million US. Now these people that judge these paintings, come up with this bs about them being talented about wasting so much canvas to simply make a single dab of black paint in order to express them selves in some bs way.

Moral of the story: There is a guy that a select few look up to. He has a Civic (the canvas), paid 60k for someone to make it like he wanted it. Just like the artist I described spent 10k on a big ass sheet of canvas, only to make a single dab of black paint in the middle. With the artist you think: "I could have done that, if I had that kind of cash to spare for all the materials" now think about the civic. A 15inch tv molded in the dash means…. $$$$.. for what? Beats me… You give a 9year old 100k and he could make a painting of a dot. He could also say "lets make a civic with a crazy paint job, supra headlights, 15" tv, etc…" What's the difference between the kid and adult? Money…

It will be on ebay soon with a $4500 reserve just like all the other ones.

I can appreciate your opinion, but you admit yo arent a show guy, so you are over your head. Why you bustin on someone you dont know? Jeff is one of the nicest guys in the scene, who does 90% of his own work, and who's car made more last month than you prob did......factually. (It made $500 last weekend alone) Truth be known $60,000 wouldnt get yo but about 1/2 -2/3 that car. I know what you are thinkin....On a civic ?!! Ask anyone whos ever built anything well (That leaves most of you out ) it is expensive to do it right, and once you are committed, it must be finished.
I dont expect everyone to like the car, but be an adult and respect the guy and the talent that went into the car to take it places most ppl cant fathom..... This car wasnt built by magic, it was hard work.... and that separates it from most cars on IA, because no one works as hard at this than Jeff. HE DIDNT PAY ANYONE TO DO THE WORK, it was HIS hands. Respect that alone....it was 3 guys total that built this car w/ ZERO sponsor dollars.
Ask Pablo, Brett, BTLFED, Julio, and even Paul/Admin.... all these guy know and have competed w/ him or against him. He's a humble guy w/ a unique car. If you hate him for spending $, then he's not lame, you are.

that engine bay work is clean...minus the paint job...but that engine bay looks sexy...it's like naked...where is everything?


besides that...not really a fan...supra headlights on civic ftl


to each their own though...i'm definitely jealous...in terms of wishing i had that kind of money to spend

[Stormhammer]

hmm, he needs to up the game on his interior with the rest IMO

but pretty cool

THE ENGINE IS NOTHIN SPECTACULAR THATS NOT ALREADY BEEN DONE, SHAVED/MOLDED FIREWALLS, CHROMED OUT ENGINE AND SUCH HAVE BEEN DONE IN THE LOWRIDER CAR SHOW CIRCUIT FOR YEARS, AND THE CAR ITSELF WELL, LETS JUST SAY ITS NOT MY TASTE!

AGAIN, THATS MY OPINION. I HAVE A RIGHT TO VOICE IT, I AM A U.S. CITIZEN AND CAN BACK IT UP W/ LEGAL DOCUMENTS IF NEED BE. VIVA AMERICA

Why spend all that money on a civic? Oh Ya it might be the fact that it wins more money in a show season that most people make in a year. Just my 2 cents.

[Allstar3.8T]

BTW, it used to be a daily driver and ran a 14.6 @ 95.5..... in 2000. What were you runnin then.
The interior is suede, and every panel inside is custom, so its up to speed. I agree the lowriders have done this for years. In L.A...... not Lawrenceville. Why do some ppl have a hard time saying "its nice" but not my style. Always gotta hate and act hard.

THANK YOU, THAT IS ALL
