FD runs low 11s with full interior, sound system and 20 inch rims!
I dont care how fast that thing is.... I would not be caught dead in it. That is the FUGLIEST 7 I have ever seen.
All props for the craftmanship though, but someone needs some lessons in taste....

Props on the craftsmanship, and the hard work to take the car to that level. And for being different.
But there's WAAAAAAY too much "bling bling" for me to even consider taking a spin in that thing no matter how fast it is.
It's definetly not my cup o' tea. If the paint was a different color, and it had some different rims..it'd be a KILLER car. Something has to be said for nice, quiet dignity...
That car is only good for NOPI shows...
It would do well at one of those rice events.
I bet it's fast as hell though.

You can clearly see the turbo in the engine shot.
Obviously it's for show only. 11 sec et is slower than stock.

11.3 slower that stock? I've spent many thousands of dollars and still haven't broken the 11 second mark yet. I wish they where that fast stock.
Aside from the steering wheel, that interior is ultra-sweet. That thing looks straight out of F-n-F 2! Cheers to my great city who will bring you this movie hahahaha.
That is some ugly car. I really can't understand why people do this sort of thing to a car that is already one of the great designs of the last few years. JEEZ, save that crap for Hyundais.
When considering ANY appearance mod, I ask myself this simple question:
"Would i do this to a Porsche 911 or Ferrari 355?"
I think if more folks adopted this policy, the taste-quotient on this forum would go up 100%

If your into that type of build, sure that it is top of the class. Have to commend the people that put up the effort, looks like a lot of original thinking and a ton of wrench time. Just the color, man, that is really out there. Total show cars, bet that they get some really good points for all the detail work, just wouldn't want to be caught in one at the strip. Probably the reason they are so fast, to make up for the paint job!!
Don't know which is worse, getting caught driving one or having your *** whipped by one!!

yeah.. definitely props for effort. i would have chosen a better color and different steering wheel.. prolly wouldnt have painted the engine bay pink? but it must have taken some time $ and original thought because i don't think we'll see another FD like it. (thank God

The cars are interesting for sure, and the RU CUT car has been on the show circuit for a while and cleaned up, now its time for it to run numbers!
The car is driven a fair bit, but not daily!
The chrome on the interior is a coating, not paint. It was done by a place in Sydney called The Bronzing Studio. I don't know if they have a site.
There is no NOS in the car.
CTHIS - 2 different cars but both painted by Queen St!
Goodfella - Yeah, the 20s were on the front and stock FD rims with slicks on the back!

wow, that has to be one of the BEST looking cars I've ever seen! BL1nG R1mZ y0!!! 
hahaha, seriously though, the interior does have a real quality feel to it.
I'm not even going to go into how much all that **** ***** up the natural key aspects inherent in that car, namely handling! I bet them heavy *** chrome wheels do wonders in that department!

Folks, the FD's a show car. The car is prepped to win import car shows. The car's supposed to grab your attention!
Frankly I think the paint scheme is tame compared with all the wild graphics seen on most Honda Civic show cars.

Wow, I'm late to the ****-talking party....wait for me guys, hehehehehe.
I agree, the purple (or pink?) color sucks. And those rims look like he stole them off a Jaguar.
But for the interior, I'm kinda liking it. What if the car was painted a nice RED, had some better rims and had that color leather interior? But get rid of the chrome crap and get rid of the wrinkles in the seat leather. Then it probably would look pretty nice.
I've actually thought about how my silver FD would look with a light grey leather interior. It would probably make the small cockpit seem a lot bigger.
